Best Time to Experience the 7-Day Serengeti Wildlife Journey

The best time to experience this safari is during the dry season from June to October when wildlife viewing is at its peak. During this period animals gather around water sources, making it easier to spot the Big Five and large herds across Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It is also the best time to witness the Great Migration river crossings in the Serengeti depending on the exact location of the herds.

Another good period is from January to March, when the southern Serengeti hosts the calving season. This is a special time to see thousands of newborn wildebeest and predator action, especially lions and cheetahs in hunting behavior.

The green season from November to May offers fewer crowds, lush landscapes and excellent birdwatching though wildlife can be more spread out. Each season offers a unique safari experience but Serengeti Travels recommends the dry season for the most consistent and dramatic game viewing.
