Serengeti National Park, located in the heart of Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit, is one of the world’s most celebrated and iconic wildlife destinations. Spanning over 14,750 square kilometers (5,700 square miles), the park is known for its vast open plains, stunning landscapes, and extraordinary biodiversity. It is often referred to as the “African Eden,” offering a remarkable safari experience that combines natural beauty with abundant wildlife.
Serengeti is renowned for its constant wildlife action, especially due to the Great Migration, but it also offers incredible safari experiences year-round. During the dry season, wildlife congregates around water sources, making for easy viewing. The calving season, between January and March, is another highlight, with newborn wildebeest providing opportunities for predator-prey interactions.
Best Time to Visit
June to October: Dry season when the wildlife gathers around the available water sources, making game viewing exceptional.
November to May: The rainy season, when the plains turn lush and green, and calving season occurs, drawing predators to the southern parts of the Serengeti.
