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. Experience 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.
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. Since the migration is a year-long process, which can be observed throughout the year. However, because the wildebeest traverse vast areas, certain key events in the migration can only be witnessed in specific regions of the park
When planning your trip consider that the calving season, usually runs from January and 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.

Outstanding Experience! (Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Vic Falls)
After attempting to book this trip myself (a couple coming from the US), I gave up and reached out to Sara from Safari.com. I told Sara what I was thinking and by the next day she had created several wonderful itineraries! Based on her suggestions, we personalized the itineraries and within 7 days I was booked and all set!! Sara was available at all times (before, during, and after the trip). We are currently heading home and we are so happy with all the bookings Sara created for us! Everything went flawlessly. Her 3rd parties for tours and transfers were perfect (always early, professional, knowledgeable, and kind). The hotel acknowledged our anniversary thanks to Sara. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel in Cape Town, then off to Dulini Moya in Sabi Sands, and finally Victoria Falls Island Treehouse in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend all of them. Tell Sara what you envision your experience to be and your budget and she will make it happen!! Her knowledge was so helpful in assisting us to choose the perfect itinerary. It was comforting that she kept in touch while we were traveling throughout Africa. I feel so lucky to have had Sara arrange this trip and will certainly request her expertise again in the future!! You won’t have to worry about anything because she is on top of it all. Do not hesitate!! Book with Sara from Safari.com!
