Unexpected heavy rains in the park covering the area of Seronera north to the border have meant a major shift in the Migration patter in September. Very substantial herds have been seen in the whole central and northern Serengeti area including the Tagora plains. It is thought that many of the wildebeest have headed back into northern Tanzania area to take advantage of the fresh, green, nutritious grass that has sprouted over the areas of early burning.The amount of rain means that the grass cover is sufficient to keep the herds down for period so we hope it won’t be a flying visit. The Serengeti often has isolated showers at this time of year, though the volume and frequency is much more than we would have anticipated.
