Animals gather around available water sources providing good opportunities for photography and wildlife viewing. During this period Serengeti offer excellent opportunities to see large herds of wildebeest and other animals while Tarangire is known for its elephants and the Ngorongoro Crater provides year-round wildlife viewing.

The landscape is green and attractive for photography and the presence of young wildebeest which attract predators such as lions, cheetahs and hyenas. The location of the herds depends on rainfall and grazing conditions so your safari guide will help to locate the best areas for wildlife viewing during your trip.
