cheetah, hippos and many other animals that will be happy to welcome us
to their kingdom. The area is the starting point for one of the great
wonders of the world: the Serengeti annual migration.
Towards the end of May when the grass becomes dry and exhausted, the wildebeest
start to mass in huge armies. Lion, cheetah, hyena and hunting dog follow
the wildebeest and zebra, making sure that only the fittest survive. All
is far from peaceful, for it is the rutting season and each male tries
to establish a stamping ground. For centuries, the vast wilderness of
the Serengeti Plains remained virtually unhabitated but about hundred
years ago the nomadic Maasai came down from the north with their cattle.
We carry packed lunch in order to make the best of the day. Dinner and
overnight at Serengeti Serena / Sopa / Wildlife lodge.
