Tanzania Serengetti

A 1.5 hour flight from Kigali to Mwanza where we cleared Tanzania customs and immigration then headed out over Lake Victoria to Kogatende Airstrip where we met our safari guide. Looks like Lynn stayed in business class whilst I got sent to economy.

After touchdown at Kogatende we headed off on a game drive to the camp, en route we saw two lions chilling after eating, a cheetah with a very full belly, several giraffe, eland, zebra and thousands of wildebeest.

SERENGETI MIGRATION AREA, Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp

The camp changes location several times a year, broadly following the wildebeest migration around Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, when hundreds of thousands of animals move through the ecosystem. While the pattern of the migration varies from year to year, it runs from south to north, roughly between December and October. From July to October, the camp is based in its northernmost point, in the northern Kogatende area.

For more on the migration’s movements, see the moving map of the Serengeti migration here.

WILDEBEAST

One of the main reasons to go to the Serengeti is to see the great migration, this is where wildebeest migrate across the big rivers. This is always a little bit treacherous as there are crocodiles waiting for them. We did see one young wildebeest taken by a crocodile.
