The basics

Why, when, and where.

Why

The pristine Serengeti National Park is nestled in the heart of northern Tanzania. Encompassing vast plains of savannah, rolling hills, and a network of rivers, the Serengeti offers sanctuary to an abundance of wildlife and incredible safari opportunities year-round. Renowned for the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth—the annual migration, numerous zebra and gazelle move in a circular pattern between Tanzania and Kenya in search of new pastures brought to life by the rain.

A dramatic highlight of their journey is crossing the Grumeti River distressed wildebeest and zebra attempt to navigate the crocodile-infested waters making for a nail-biting experience. During calving season when the gorgeous newborn animals can be spotted, along with a large number of big cats.

The Serengeti offers a selection of luxury lodges and mobile tented camps, ensuring an unforgettable safari experience.

When

Serengeti National Park, home to Africa's richest population of wildlife, offers incredible game viewing experiences year-round. The best time to visit depends largely on what you wish to see. Many visitors are eager to witness the thrilling wildebeest migration, but this can be challenging to plan for, as the timing of the migration varies each year. While the migration is a continuous annual cycle, specific events occur in different regions of the park.

Grumeti is the "Western Corridor" crossing. When planning your trip, consider that the calving season, usually runs from January to March with the river crossing happening between July and August. The best time for general wildlife watching is considered to be during June and July when animals are easier to find as they tend to congregate around water sources, and the vegetation is typically less dense. The weather is also ideal during this period, with little to no rainfall.

Visitors should note that while days are usually warm during this time, mornings and evenings can be chilly, so be sure to pack some warm clothing for early morning game drives.
