Migration Update – From Hills to Lake


03 February 2012 ~ Serengeti National Park, Tanzania


The mega herd has moved 30 km from Lake Ndutu towards the Matiti Hills. Calving season is now well underway and &Beyond’s guests have been witnessing some of the miraculous births.

Over the past two weeks, the rains have subsided; however, the prevailing clouds and rise in temperature signify that the rains are coming. Some smaller herds are still grazing the Ndutu plains, where there is an abundance of water to keep them stationary.

Other herds, meanwhile, are headed southwest to savour the lush green grass near the Ngorongoro forest. Once the rain does eventually come, all of the herds will gather around Lake Ndutu, where their calves can feed on the alkaline, giving them strength for the long journey ahead.
