4 Days Serengeti Migration Safari in March

March is part of the green season in Tanzania, characterized by occasional short rains that refresh the landscape. You can expect warm temperatures during the day and pleasantly cool evenings in the Southern Serengeti. The rain usually comes in the afternoon and rarely interferes with your morning game drives.

During this month, the migration is concentrated in the Southern Serengeti and the Ndutu area. This region provides the necessary nutrient-rich grass for the mothers and their newborns. It is the best location to witness the massive herds before they begin their journey toward the Western Corridor.

Off-road driving is permitted in the Ndutu area, which is part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area but borders the Serengeti. This allows your guide to get much closer to the action and follow predators into the bush. It is one of the unique features of a safari during the calving season.

Lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are extremely active during the calving season as they follow the herds for easy prey. You have a very high chance of seeing hunting behavior on the open plains. Leopards are also present in the nearby woodlands and can often be spotted resting in acacia trees.

You should pack light, breathable clothing and a waterproof jacket for the occasional rain showers. A warm sweater is also needed for the early morning game drives when the air is chilly. Do not forget to bring a good pair of binoculars and a camera with a zoom lens for the best wildlife photos.

While the wildebeest are the main focus, you are likely to see lions, elephants, and buffaloes. Leopards are common in the Ndutu woodlands, but the black rhino is much more elusive in this specific region. Your guide will use their expertise to find as many of these iconic animals as possible.

We recommend booking at least six months in advance because the calving season is a very popular time for wildlife enthusiasts. Many of the best lodges and tented camps in the Southern Serengeti fill up quickly. Booking early ensures you get the best accommodation options near the herds.

Children are welcome and often find the sight of the young calves and the vast herds very exciting. We provide a safe and educational environment where they can learn about the circle of life in the African wilderness. We recommend this tour for children aged five and above who can handle the time spent in the vehicle.

We provide heavy-duty 4x4 Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs for the best wildlife viewing and photography. These vehicles are equipped with charging ports, a fridge for cold drinks, and reinforced suspension for the off-road tracks. This ensures a comfortable and productive journey across the southern plains.

All meals including breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided throughout the four days. You will enjoy fresh, hot dinners at your lodge and high-quality picnic lunches while you are out exploring the plains. We also accommodate specific dietary requirements if you notify us at the time of booking.
