<p><a href="http://singita.com/region/singita-lamai/" target="_blank">Singita Lamai</a> is a 98,000-acre property at the northern-most tip of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, an area celebrated for its location on the route of the annual migration. Wildebeest cross the Mara River at various points and the camp’s unique location provides spectacular opportunities to view the crossings. Field guide Ryan Schmitt gives us an update on the migration activity in the concession:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16446" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/migration_update_1.png" alt="Great migration update from Singita Lamai" width="730" height="429" srcset="http://469uj5355hpj1cwksq2n1n1a.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/migration_update_1.png 730w, http://469uj5355hpj1cwksq2n1n1a.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/migration_update_1-300x176.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px" /></p>
<p>Singita Lamai tends to get plenty of rain, which ensures that the grass stays green and long right up until the herds arrive, which they did in late June. The field guides based at the camp witnessed the first wildebeest crossing on the last day of June (just a couple of hundred animals) and within the first week of July there were thousands of animals crossing – some lasting the entire day!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16447" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/migration_update_2.png" alt="Great migration update from Singita Lamai" width="730" height="546" srcset="http://469uj5355hpj1cwksq2n1n1a.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/migration_update_2.png 730w, http://469uj5355hpj1cwksq2n1n1a.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/migration_update_2-300x224.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px" /></p>
<p>The Mara River becomes the central focal point of the northern Serengeti at this point in the year. The crossings are action-packed, as the huge crocodiles that live in the river prey on the animals in the water, swapping their usual diet of fish for a feast of vulnerable wildebeest.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16448" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/migration_update_3.png" alt="Great migration update from Singita Lamai" width="730" height="516" srcset="http://469uj5355hpj1cwksq2n1n1a.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/migration_update_3.png 730w, http://469uj5355hpj1cwksq2n1n1a.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/migration_update_3-300x212.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px" /></p>
<p>The crocodiles go into a killing frenzy, drowning far more animals than they could ever wish to consume, and as the carcasses get washed downstream and then get caught up on the rocks, they end up providing for thousands of scavenging birds. The crocs alternate feeding with basking in the sun (which helps with digestion), providing great viewing opportunities so that guests can see just how enormous these reptiles can get. It’s a busy and exciting time at Singita Lamai for sure!</p>

The river is a vital source for grazing animals nearby and, as such, forms an important part of the annual migration route that cuts a swathe through the Serengeti.</p>

<p>On its banks stands <strong><a href="http://singita.com/lodge/singita-mara-river-tented-camp/" target="_blank">Singita Mara River Tented Camp</a></strong>, a new generation eco-lodge that operates entirely off the grid and is built from mainly natural and recycled materials. The lodge consciously seeks to eliminate the unnecessary use of energy and non-biodegradable materials while helping guests to make an authentic and meaningful connection with nature that leaves behind a lighter footprint.</p>

<p>The concept and design of the camp encourages constant engagement with the wild, from the way that tents are positioned on the edge of ‘hovering’ decks, so that one is slightly elevated, to the fly sheets that allow guests to sleep with the main tent flaps open, while being protected from inquisitive insects. The decor is a celebration of contemporary African design that offers a sense of laid-back luxury; a pared-down approach to the quintessential Singita safari that doesn’t compromise on any creature comforts.</p>

<p>The monkeys were alarm calling during high tea at <a href="http://singita.com/boulders-lodge/" target="_blank">Singita Boulders Lodge</a>. After closer inspection Leon, the assistant head ranger, saw a glimpse of a leopard walking on the northern bank of the Sand River, which runs in front of the lodge. It was the Nyaleti male – a leopard in his prime who is often seen on the Singita reserve and is in the process of staking his territory.</p>

<p>Two cheetahs set against a backdrop of seemingly never-ending plains, dotted with a few squiggly balanites trees: one of the many things about <a href="http://singita.com/regions/singita-lamai/" target="_blank">Singita Lamai</a> that is so quintessentially African. Plains are the perfect habitat for cheetahs, who need large expanses of flat ground to build up their speed. The difficulty with flat plains is that it is hard for the cats to gain the height they need to survey the land for prey, so cheetahs are often seen on top of termite mounds or fallen trees, getting a better look at things.</p>

<p>Both these sets of scamps looked like twins at first glance, but I’m sure they aren’t. It is quite common for elephants, giraffes, impalas and many other herd animals to group their youngsters together and take turns to babysit them. They’re kept out of harm’s way and are allowed to learn the ways of the wild under the watchful eye of their guardian. Of course, there is nothing better than to play and explore with a best friend who is your same age and size… Long may these friendships last!</p>

<p>The time of autumn and approaching winter is most probably one the most vocal times of the year for lions, due to the cool dense air being able to transport the sound of a roar a lot further (up to 7 km away), but this is not the only reason why the rulers are belting out their assuring dominant presence. The five Shishangaan males have recently fought their way in and have taken over the territory from the two previous males. This has led to copious mating activity and will result in an exciting new bloodline in our N’wanetsi section of Kruger.</p>

<p>The newest cubs in the Butamtam Pride that we reported first seeing in the March journal are continuing to thrive. They have grown a lot but are still small bundles of fur and fun! Their confidence has grown as well. In April we spotted them with their moms, in what was clearly the first time they were introduced to the rest of their pride. The lionesses and eight one-year-old juveniles were busy eating a recent eland kill, and resting in the heat of the day. The little cubs weren’t happy about their extended family at first, clearly frightened by the new environment and the new creatures in it. They meowed and yipped at their mom, running away from the rest of the pride into the long grass.</p>

<p>It’s no surprise that the Lamai and Kogatende areas of the Serengeti around <a href="http://singita.com/mara-river-tented-camp/" target="_blank">Singita Mara River Tented Camp</a> are home to many elephants. The mighty Mara River itself provides a seemingly endless supply of fresh water, flowing year-round. In addition, countless smaller rivers and estuaries stem off from the river at a rate of about one every 500 metres. The result is not only the large volume of water available, but also its accessibility – the animals don’t have to travel far for a drink or a bath.</p>

<p>The Serengeti in Tanzania is inextricably associated with the annual wildebeest migration in the imagination of most travellers in search of the ultimate African safari. However, once the wildebeest have moved on in their perpetual search for grazing, the Serengeti offers diverse and fascinating game viewing, from big predators to prolific prey, on its vast open plains and along its river banks.</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9916" alt="Tanazina's Serengeti - A Year-Round Destination" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_6.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Warm and fairly dry, January to March is a great time to visit the region with large herds of topi, zebra, eland, giraffe and Thompson’s gazelle starting to gather on the open plains. This is also the calving season and thousands of these animals, including big herds of wildebeest that stay behind, give birth over a period of a few weeks.</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_13.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9923" alt="Tanazina's Serengeti - A Year-Round Destination" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_13.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>The concentrated herds attract the attention of predators, especially the big cats, and sightings of leopard and lion are common. Scattered rain showers freshen up warm days and produce bright green landscapes and crisp, clear skies conducive to beautiful photography. As it’s the end of the dry season, the <a href="http://singita.com/mara-river-tented-camp/" target="_blank">Mara</a> and <a href="http://singita.com/regions/singita-grumeti/" target="_blank">Grumeti</a> rivers start to recede forcing the animals to congregate close to available water sources which makes them easier to find.</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_12.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9922" alt="Tanazina's Serengeti - A Year-Round Destination" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_12.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>The months of April and May are known as the season of the long rains, transforming the landscape as lush, longer grasses grow and rivers, lakes and pans start to fill up with water again. Large herds of herbivores, including significant breeding herds of elephant and buffalo, are common sightings. During this time, throughout the Serengeti there is greater exclusivity at wildlife sightings and increased flexibility when it comes to planning itineraries.</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_14.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9924" alt="Tanazina's Serengeti - A Year-Round Destination" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_14.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9915" alt="Tanazina's Serengeti - A Year-Round Destination" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_5.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>By May there is a sense of anticipation in the Serengeti as the migration could arrive at any time to seek dependable water sources and start grazing on the long, golden grasslands. Industry insiders consider it to be the most underrated month to visit with fewer people, prolific game sightings and mild, sunny days ideal for bush walks and picnics.</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_10.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9920" alt="Tanazina's Serengeti - A Year-Round Destination" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_10.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>The dry season commences again in June and continues until the end of October. Considered high season in Tanzania, it is characterised by pleasantly warm, sunny days and easy game viewing due to the short grasses. September and October are fantastic months in the <a href="http://singita.com/regions/singita-lamai/" target="_blank">Lamai</a>, with multiple daily Mara River migration crossings, increased predator action and excellent crocodile, hippo and hyena sightings.</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9913" alt="Tanazina's Serengeti - A Year-Round Destination" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_3.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9914" alt="Tanazina's Serengeti - A Year-Round Destination" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_4.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>In September and October, diverse game congregates along the Grumeti River and in pans, while river crossings by thousands of wildebeest and other migratory plains game are always a thrilling sight. October is Singita head guide <a href="http://singita.com/?s=Ryan+Schmitt" target="_blank">Ryan Schmitt</a>’s best time of the year in the Serengeti, due to the all-round excellent game viewing.</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_16.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9931" alt="Tanazina's Serengeti - A Year-Round Destination" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/serengeti_16.jpg" /></a></p>

<p>The short rains in November and December are characterised by brief, spectacular thunderstorms that give way to clear skies and amazing colour contrasts for photography. Awesome cheetah and lion sightings are common, there are large numbers of babies and youngsters amongst both predator and prey species, and migratory birds return to the newly green landscapes.</p>

<p>This time of year at <a href="http://singita.com/regions/singita-grumeti/" target="_blank">Singita Grumeti</a> is always very exciting for guests and staff alike, as millions of wildebeest and other plains game move through the Serengeti on their annual migration. The low rumble of hooves started very early this year, beginning in early May; six weeks before it was expected. Field Guide <a href="http://singita.com/?s=hamrick" target="_blank">Elizabeth Hamrick</a> reports from Tanzania:</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/migration_2014_5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9269" alt="The Great Migration 2014 at Singita Grumeti" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/migration_2014_5.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/migration_2014_3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9267" alt="The Great Migration 2014 at Singita Grumeti" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/migration_2014_3.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>“The 2014 ‘long rains’ saw little precipitation at Singita Grumeti, but while our location in the Northwestern Serengeti had very little rain, the central Serengeti saw almost none. The result of the extreme lack of rain was a lack of suitable grasses so when the wildebeest left Ndutu in the southern Serengeti at the end of March, the 80km trip through to Singita Grumeti (which usually takes about three months) only took one month. By the first of the month, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikorongo_Game_Reserve" target="_blank">Ikorongo Game Reserve</a> was full of at least 50,000 wildebeest. Within the next two days, wildebeest in the multiple hundreds of thousands engulfed Singita Grumeti; the Great Migration had arrived.</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/migration_2014_4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9268" alt="The Great Migration 2014 at Singita Grumeti" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/migration_2014_4.jpg" /></a></p>

<p>By the end of the month the herds started forming long lines, marching eastwards out of the reserve and by about the 5th of June only the weak and the wounded remained.</p>
<p><a href="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/migration_2014_9.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9273" alt="The Great Migration 2014 at Singita Grumeti" src="http://singita.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/migration_2014_9.jpg" /></a></p>

<p>There are currently herds scattered about 1.5km south of <a href="http://singita.com/mara-river-tented-camp/" target="_blank">Singita Mara River Tented Camp</a> in the <a href="http://singita.com/regions/singita-lamai/" target="_blank">Lamai Triangle</a>, and we have also received reports that a big chunk of the migration has turned south again, and are hanging out in the central Serengeti. 2014 continues to prove how unpredictable this phenomenon can be, and we wait in anticipation to see what happens next.”</p>

<p>Guests at Singita Mara River Tented Camp were also lucky enough to witness the first crossing this week from start to finish. It occurred a short way from the camp near the Kogatende airstrip and lasted close to an hour!</p>
