1st May 2013: The migration is currently around the information centre of central Serengeti. Therefore, Kati Kati, Lemala Central & Serena Central Lodge are all wonderful places to stay, as they are based in the same area.
18th February 2013: The migration is currently all around the Ndutu and south Serengeti area.
10th January 2013: The migration are all around the Olduvai Gorge area in Ngorongoro, near the Serengeti boundary. Few have already reached Ndutu.
26th November 2012: The herd is now south Serengeti and later this week, they will be on the plains around the Moru Kopjes.

10th November 2012: The majority are in western Serengeti. They are moving towards south Serengeti, where the calving season will begin in February/March.
1st November 2012: The majority of the herd is now in the Lobo area around north Serengeti. They are moving towards south Serengeti and the Ndutu area of Ngorongoro, where they will stay until February/March of next year when the calving season occurs.
8th October 2012: The migration is currently in Masai Mara, Kenya. However, we've begun experiencing slight rains in Arusha, so it's likely that the majority of the herd will cross the border into Tanzania within the next few weeks.
27th August 2012: Currently the migration is in the north Serengeti. A large part of the herd has already crossed the river heading to Masai Mara in Kenya. We look forward to their return to Serengeti at the end of October or early November.
16th April 2012: The herd is still around central Serengeti which is wonderful! If you are staying at Kati Kati Tented Camp, you are in a great position to see the herd.
21st February 2012: The herd is now around central Serengeti, near Kati Kati Tented Camp. At times they even surround the camp!
19th December 2011: The herd is around the western ridge of Ngorogoro Conservation Area. It is raining in the area and so they may stay there for a few weeks at least before heading onto the Southern part of Serengeti in preparation for birthing season in the new year.
27th July 2011: The herd has eaten out the western corner of Serengeti and is now in the northern part of Serengeti, near the Mara River. Small groups of animals have already crossed the river but most are still on the plains around the southern side of the river as pastures are still available. Once the main part of the herd does eventually start crossing the river they will still have at least another 20+ km on the other side to travel, before they finally reach the Masai Mara plains in southern Kenya.
26th May 2011: This picture below was taken by one of our driver guides whilst on safari with clients. There are great photographic opportunities at the moment as the herd is very thick and spans many kiliometers as it approaches Western Serengeti. Anyone staying in the Serengeti over the coming months can look forward to not only seeing resident wildlife around Central Serengeti, bus also (if staying for at least a few nights in the park) the large migratory herd in Western Serengeti as well.
