Serengeti National Park is one of Tanzania’s most famous safari destinations, renowned for its vast savannah plains, abundant wildlife and the spectacular Great Migration. The park is home to lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and many other species. Travellers can enjoy unforgettable game drives across the Serengeti and experience one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife landscapes.
Serengeti can be visited throughout the year, with different areas offering unique wildlife experiences depending on the season. June to October is generally favourable for dry-season wildlife viewing, while January to March is an excellent period for exploring the southern Serengeti and Ndutu area during the wildebeest calving season. The Great Migration moves throughout the Serengeti ecosystem during the year, so the best area to visit depends on the time of travel.
Best months: June to October and January to March
Best for: Great Migration, big cats, wildebeest, wildlife photography and classic Tanzania safari experiences.
