The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world.

The best month is December - March in the Southern Circuit in Ndutu Area. April and May in Western Corridor, June and July in Serengeti North.

The exact timing of the Serengeti wildebeest migration is wholly reliant upon the rainfall patterns each year. The animals have to cross north Tanzania area, meets up with Kenya Maasai Mara Reserve Mara River where crocodile lie inside the water waiting for barbecue.
