Best Time to Witness This 6 Days Serengeti Safari from Arusha

A 6-day Serengeti safari with Serengeti Travels can be enjoyed year-round but different seasons offer unique wildlife experiences.

January to March is one of the best times to witness the wildebeest calving season in the Southern Serengeti. Thousands of newborn calves attract predators such as lions, cheetahs and hyenas, creating dramatic wildlife encounters.

June to October is considered the peak safari season. The dry weather makes wildlife easier to spot as animals gather around rivers and water sources. This period also offers excellent opportunities to witness the Great Migration in different parts of the Serengeti ecosystem and enjoy clear skies for photography.

July to September is particularly famous for migration crossings, where large herds move through the northern Serengeti in search of fresh grazing. This is one of Africa's most spectacular wildlife events.

November to December brings lush green landscapes following the short rains. Wildlife viewing remains excellent, birdlife is abundant and visitor numbers are generally lower than during peak season.

For travelers focused on the Big Five, the best period is June through October. For those hoping to experience the Great Migration and calving season January to March and July to September offer the most rewarding safari experiences.

Overall this itinerary delivers exceptional wildlife viewing throughout the year, making any season a great time to explore Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
