Serengeti Safari Tours Tanzania | Great Migration & Wildlife

Overview

The Serengeti

The Serengeti is Tanzania's most iconic national park, covering 14,750 km² of vast savannah, grasslands and rivers. It is home to the Great Migration — the largest terrestrial mammal movement on Earth — and offers some of the best wildlife viewing in the world. Every year, over two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing, creating one of nature's most awe-inspiring spectacles. From predator-prey interactions to sweeping golden horizons, the Serengeti delivers an unparalleled safari experience.

Best Time to Visit

The Serengeti is a year-round destination, but the experience changes with the seasons. Here's what to expect each quarter.

January — March

Calving season in the southern Serengeti. Over 500,000 wildebeest calves are born, attracting large predator concentrations. Excellent for dramatic wildlife encounters.

April — May

Green season brings lush landscapes and fewer tourists. Lower lodge rates make this an excellent value period. Birdwatching is outstanding with migratory species present.

June — October

Peak safari season. The Great Migration moves through the northern Serengeti and Mara River crossings occur July–September. Prime wildlife viewing with dry conditions.

November — December

Short rains bring refreshed greenery and excellent wildlife viewing with fewer crowds. Great photographic opportunities with dramatic skies and soft light.
