Serengeti rains/wildebeest migration

3 nts at Ngorongoro and 3 nts in Serengeti. Not sure if western corridor/Grumeti will be worth going to then. We'll see when we get there I would ask your Guide @ Ngorongoro to ask around about black rhino. They are there, and this is one of the few places left where you might get close enough for a good sighting. With 2 days in the crater (unusual, but you probably know that) you have twice the chances. About downt o 10C or colder? Just debating exactlyhow much to bring as it will be the only cool place? It can be very damp/chilly mornings and evenings at the crater. The lodge is about 8000' elevation. You may be in the clouds. But early AM on the Serengeti will also be chilly. Remember that the roof is open. Layer. Jacket or sweater, then take it off later. |

Serengeti rains/wildebeest migration
I'm watching with great interest this forum where I received very
valuable advise for preparing my trip. Now this thread comes perfectly timely. Thanks to all for the useful addresses/info so far. I'm arriving to Arusha in 3 weeks time and have planned to take time in the different places: * 2 nights in Lake Manyara * 3 nights in Ngorongoro (We'll watch for the black rhino in Ngorongoro - Thanks, Dave) * 6 nights in different parts of Serengeti: some days in the center and then head for 2 days to the western corridor (the last weekend of May) It seems a bit 'early' (though it depends on how the rains are doing!!) but I'm still confident I'll have the possibility to catch the migration wherever it is (although I keep my fingers crossed) and see much more there!! Nature is difficult to predict which makes planning just a gamble!! Would anyone have first-hand info on how the rains are evolving this year? Are they later than in the past years? Thanks! Lola C. |

With 2 days in the crater (unusual, but you probably know that) you have twice the chances. Thanks. We'll try to see them! Why is 2 whole days unusual? Most people just want to move on?

Remember that the roof is open. Layer. Jacket or sweater, then take it off later. Thanks. We'll layer. I think the temp is similar to where we are in a way (Vancouver, Canada) |
