Best time to witness

The best time to witness the 6-Day Private Serengeti Safari with Serengeti Travels depends on what you want to experience, especially wildlife movement and weather conditions.

The dry season from June to October is considered the best overall time. During this period, animals gather around limited water sources, making wildlife easier to spot in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. It is also the peak season for predator sightings, including lions, cheetahs and leopards, as the grass is shorter and visibility is excellent.

If your main goal is the Great Migration the timing varies by location within the Serengeti. From June to July, you may witness river crossings in the western and northern Serengeti. From August to October dramatic Mara River crossings can often be seen in the northern Serengeti.

The calving season from January to March in the southern Serengeti is also very special, as thousands of wildebeest give birth, attracting many predators and intense wildlife action.

The green season from November to May offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds and lower prices, with excellent birdwatching and beautiful photography opportunities, especially in Ngorongoro and Tarangire.

Overall, Serengeti Travels recommends June to October for the best all-round safari experience.
