Laying usually takes place around January, February and March every year. In January, herds begin to move south into the Serengeti after the rains begin to fall. The question of how the flock knows when it's raining or not is something many people have asked and the answer is we really don't! Many say they can smell rain, others claim they can smell it when the air pressure changes. One thing we know for sure is that where it rains, the cattle follow. Within two to three weeks, more than half a million wildebeest are born and up to 8,000 wildebeest are born on the same day!

Serengeti means endless plains in the local African language and seeing the grasslands stretch as far as the eye can see and eventually merge with the sky at the horizon is an absolutely breathtaking sight.
With a total area of 14,763 km², it puts our concept of distance to shame. The Serengeti is also home to the “Big 5” (elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, lion and leopard). With the "Big 5", a very interesting sight will be one of the most beautiful animals in Africa - the Impala.
The Serengeti ecosystem is home to the largest concentration of delta games left in Africa. You should also look for the Serengeti "Kopjes" which are giant granite boulders that stand tall in the middle of a sea of grass. They provide enough shelter for a wide variety of plants and animals especially those wildebeest majoroty participants in the Serengeti Wildebeest Migration.
Picnic lunch will be prepared on the hunting day itself. An eventful day ends with a hearty dinner and a good night's sleep at the community camp/stain camp/lodge at the Central Serengeti.
