Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Serengeti National Park depends on what you want to see:
- June to October (dry season, best for wildlife viewing)
- December to March (calving season, great for seeing predator action)
- April to May (green season, lush landscapes and fewer tourists)
The Great Migration is a year-round event, but the exact timing of river crossings can vary. July to October is generally the best time to witness dramatic river crossings.
Each season offers unique experiences, from vast herds during the migration to the lush green landscapes of the wet season.
