The dry season gets going properly. The animals in Tarangire start gathering along the river, and the herds push towards the Grumeti in the west.

Remember, the herds follow rainfall, not a calendar. This is where they usually are this month, based on recent years. Think of it as a planning guide, never a guarantee of what you'll see.
