Ally's Field Report — April 2026
Herds are massing in central Serengeti, moving north toward the Grumeti River. River crossings expected May–June. Now is ideal for predator-prey interactions on the open plains.

Serengeti National Park — the Great Migration on the endless plains
National Park · Northern Tanzania
Serengeti
The endless plains. The greatest show on Earth.

The Serengeti is 14,763 km² of open savannah — the largest unbroken ecosystem in Africa. Home to the Great Migration, the highest lion density in the world, and sunsets that make grown adults weep. Ally has guided here for 20+ years. He does not take the main road.

Ngorongoro
The world's largest intact volcanic caldera.
