If you’re there at the right time, you can spot herds of wildebeest and zebra stretching to the horizon. Contrary to popular misconceptions, the herds can be seen in the Serengeti all year round. There are some better months to visit to get the full impact of the sheer size of the herds such as in July – October when they are crossing the mighty Mara River in Northern Serengeti or in February when they all congregate for calving season in the southern Ndutu plains.
