Best Time to Witness a 7 Days Serengeti Safari

A 7 Days Serengeti Safari can be enjoyed throughout the year with each season offering unique wildlife experiences and spectacular scenery.

January to March
This is the best time to witness the Great Migration calving season in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu. Thousands of wildebeest give birth, attracting predators such as lions, cheetahs and hyenas.

April to May
The green season brings fewer visitors, lush landscapes and excellent birdwatching. It is also a great time to enjoy lower safari rates and peaceful wildlife viewing.

June to July
Watch the Great Migration move through the western and northern Serengeti. Large herds gather as they prepare for dramatic river crossings, while the dry season makes wildlife easier to spot.

August to October
This is the peak safari season and the best time to witness the famous Mara River crossings in northern Serengeti. It also offers excellent opportunities to see the Big Five and large concentrations of wildlife.

November to December
Short rains refresh the plains as the migration begins moving back toward the southern Serengeti. The landscapes become green again and game viewing remains excellent with fewer crowds.
