Serengeti short grass plains. See great herds of wildebeest and zebra. During
this period the majority of the wildebeest calves. This is also the time of
year with the best predator action! Indeed a fantastic time to view the high
concentration of wildlife. Wildebeest calves can run minutes after they are
born and within 3 days they are normally strong enough to keep up with the
herd. The marshes and lakes support a huge variety of bird life as well as
resident lion pride. Cheetahs are abundant in the plains, and the wooded ridges
are always productive.
