Overview
The Serengeti is Tanzania’s most iconic national park – a vast savannah of golden grasslands, river valleys, and rocky kopjes that support some of the highest concentrations of wildlife on earth.
Each year, over a million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles move in one of nature’s greatest shows—the Great Migration.
With year-round wildlife action, the Serengeti is ideal for first-time safari goers and seasoned travelers alike, offering everything from camping to exclusive luxury lodges. Whether you come for a short 3-day escape or a longer circuit with Ngorongoro and other parks, the Serengeti delivers classic “Out of Africa” scenes every day.
Highlights
- Witness parts of the Great Migration (depending on season and area).
- Big cat encounters: lions, leopards, cheetahs hunting on the plains.
- Dramatic savannah scenery with acacia trees, kopjes, and endless horizons.
- Optional hot-air balloon safaris at sunrise over the plains.
- Rich birdlife, from kori bustards and secretary birds to vultures and eagles.
Best Time to Visit
- December – March: Calving season in Southern Serengeti / Ndutu with plenty of predator action.
- June – October: Dry season and good visibility; river crossings in Northern Serengeti (around Kogatende).
- April – May: Green season with lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and great photographic conditions.
- Year-round: Resident game ensures good sightings in different parts of the park across the year.
