If you are thinking of catching the February wildlife great migration in the Serengeti national park, now is the time to book.From around the world 40 of our friends gathered in the Serengeti on our honeymoon. Mid February we arrived and our timing was perfect.
I suddenly felt like I had been put into one of David Attenborough’s documentary’s witnessing the most spectacular scenes played out before my eyes the plains were full of gnu zebra’s and other wild life. As the new light dawned you could see all around us animals being born, with no time to stop the mothers only paused to give birth, as the herd moved off the mothers would too even if they were half way through giving birth.
Mothers were giving birth to their calves right in front of us and within minutes of the birth the calves were stretching their long legs staggering as quickly as they possibly could to join the herd. With mixed feelings we watched animals being born, nurtured and encouraged to get up and move off with the herd while others were chased and eaten by stronger predators, not able to take our eyes away from the dreadful scene we knew this was the survival of the fitest.
We went deep into the Serengeti where the scenery was spectacular, but the biggest concentration of game we saw was near lake Ndutu. Lake Ndutu is a beautiful setting that is surrounded by giant, flat-topped acacias, the Lake Ndutu shimmering in the sunlight providing precious water to the wild life as it migrates through the Serengeti.
We stayed two nights at Ndutu Safari Lodge which is quite small (I think we filled it) but was full of old style game lodge charm and is the only lodge where you can sit and watch the migration of the wildebeest as they give birth and feed on the grass. The end of our Tanzania safari was near, and soon it would be our turn to migrate back to our homes, we now have a memory of fun filled holiday adventures, joy of making new friends, our eyes were soon filled with tears as the Serengeti is left behind our plane moves higher over the African land below while we whisper into the clouds our vow to return again
