Wildlife
View the best of wildlife at the Upper Grumeti Woodlands
With some of the best lush green acacia woodlands, the Upper Grumetic Woodlands has an uncountable collection of herbivores. The main highlight here is the Grumeti River that flows across the upper half of Serengeti before the river makes its way to Lake Victoria. The abundance of wildlife can be viewed especially during the dry season and you can be lucky to view the best wildebeest migration (northward or southward) during July-August or September-November. This verdant land is home to the emblems of this region, the giraffes as they feed on tender acacia leaves. Impressively beautiful forest lines can be witnessed along the Grumeti River banks. On the other side of this forest gallery, a group of hippos can be seen splashing in the dark waters. Other inhabitants that are commonly seen in abundance during a Grumeti Game Loop will be monkeys, hippos, baboons, turaco birds, primates and fish eagles.
Explore the secretive yet most fascinating spot, the Lamai Triangle
Added to the National Serengeti Park in 1965, the Lamai Triangle is an attractive but still less known place in the northern Serengeti. It is a triangle-shaped watershed area located towards the north of the Mara River where it marks its South border. This place truly serves as a heaven for wildebeests and zebras as they migrate here during the dry seasons and are served with freshwater and green red oat grasslands along with acacia trees on the rolling hills. Although rarely visited, this place can be explored by a drive along off-beaten tracks all around and you can even explore it on a walking safari (for security – escorted with an armed park ranger). If you wish to view the dry season migration and would like to avoid crowd, the tranquil private space of Lamai Triangle can be a true sport for viewing herds of animals including the massive and elegant eland, topi antelopes, giraffes, elephants, buffalos, ostriches, zebras, cheetahs, lions, and warthogs.

Season
What to Expect in Serengeti?
Kenzan Mara Camp operated from July till October and these months of the year are typically the best time to see a convincing concentration of wildlife. With this camp being strategically located, you will get to see the unique enclave of raw wilderness all around the park. This is the time when the famous migration crossing of the popular wildebeest inhabitants can be witnessed.
Visiting from July till October:
The Kenzan Mara Camp operates during these months of the year to bring you closer to the best-known wildlife nature preserve in the Serengeti.
July – Typically warm month and marks the beginning of the great crossing and mating of wildlife animals in the region. You can expect to see the big fives as well as crocodile encounters.
August – The climate would be hot and humid and during this time animals would be looking for greener lush land. Best views can be witnessed with animals gathering around waterholes and rivers and this makes game drives even more exciting. As the dry season kicks in, more of them would be ready to make dangerous crossings and visibility would be improved due to shortage of vegetation. This is the time when hunters get a chance to be in close proximity to their prey.
September – The weather becomes more hot and dry and visit during September could be your last chance to witness the great migration crossing the Grumeti River. You can easily spot the wildlife creatures that you are here to look for as you hop on for a game drive from Kenzan Mara Camp.
October – This is the time the herds of wildebeest return back and as the dry season is about to end some early short rains may be witnessed in the Serengeti.
Although there is no one time that could be termed as the perfect time to view the beauty of Serengeti dry season is truly the most popular time of the year witnessing crowd of both locals and tourists adventure seekers and nature lovers flocking in to view the seasonal perks of this action-packed Serengeti National Park.
