Why Visit This Destination?
The Great Migration
Witness millions of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles moving across the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing and water.
Exceptional Big-Cat Viewing
The Serengeti offers excellent opportunities to see lions, leopards and cheetahs hunting, resting and raising their young in the wild.
Vast, Varied Landscapes
The Serengeti offers excellent wildlife viewing throughout the year, but the best time to visit depends on which stage of the Great Migration you hope
Safari Through the Seasons
DEC - MAR
Southern Serengeti & Ndutu
The calving season brings vast herds to the southern plains. Thousands of wildebeest are born, attracting lions, cheetahs and other predators.
APR - MAY
Green Season
Seasonal rains transform the Serengeti into a lush, green landscape. Expect dramatic skies, fewer safari vehicles and excellent photography.
JUN - OCT
Western & Northern Serengeti
The herds move through the Western Corridor before reaching the north, where dramatic Mara River crossings may occur between July and October.
NOV - DEC
Central & Eastern Serengeti
The short rains encourage the herds to move south again. Central Serengeti continues to offer reliable sightings of resident wildlife and big cats.

Every season offers a different way to experience East Africa, from dramatic wildlife encounters and seasonal movements to lush landscapes and quieter safari moments.
