July could be a hit or miss on the migration. All according to the weather; if it has been very dry then the animals will all be in the Mara in July with a few strays in the Serengeti. I would suggest that you are close to the first of July for this, not the end of July if this is what you are wanting to see. There are plenty of resident animals in the Serengeti and Tanzania when the migration moves on to the Mara. You will definitely want to be in the Western Corridor or in the North Central part of the Serengeti for the migration at this time of the year.

Hi

Seronera is about 90km from the western corridor, and it would normally take circa 2 hours game driving to there.

Mini bus verus 4x4, the mini bus'es are also 4x4

when its muddy because they are lower they cant do somme of the smaller tracks and are generally softer suspension.

Lodge and luxury tented camps, all accomodaation is hard to get :-)the best value luxury tented camps are probably Serengeti Savannah camps.

Ask whichever tour operator you use to give a itinerary using them.

Mid-July may be too late for the Western Corridor.

I just saw many many zebras near Lobo and Bologonja and they may be the spearhead with the wildebeests to follow.

Saw huge herds of wildebeests near Ikoma and north of Grumeti River heading North East. It looks a bit dry in the central Serengeti so I think the herds will probably run north quick.

Rain in the west may cause them to turn back into the corridor but I do not think so.

It appears Lobo Lodge will be good in July. Savannah Camp will probably stay at Makoma 2 just south of Seronera so check first.

Flycatcher Camp normally goes north and is affordable.
