Where the herds are, month by month
December to March the herds gather on the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti and Ndutu, where calving takes place in a matter of weeks and predators follow closely.
April and May bring the long rains and the slow move west. June and July the herds press towards the Grumeti, and from July to October the northern Serengeti and the Mara River become the stage for the crossings most travellers picture.
