Overview
When you think of a classic safari, you probably think of the Serengeti National Park. You are right to do so, as it is one of the most spectacular national parks on the planet.
The Serengeti National Park is located in northwest Tanzania. The park and bordering reserves allow for one of the last remaining wildlife migrations on the planet. This wildlife spectacle, the park’s vast numbers of wildlife and its diverse yet beautiful landscapes are a few of the reasons why the park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981.
The Serengeti National Park offers exceptional wildlife viewing all year round, where it is possible to witness the great wildebeest migration and see the Big Five.
How to get there
The optimal time to visit Serengeti National Park hinges on what you hope to witness. The dry season, spanning from June to October, offers the most reliable game viewing with animals congregating around water sources. This period also coincides with the peak of the Great Migration, a breathtaking spectacle of millions of wildebeest and zebras on the move. However, it’s the busiest time, with higher prices and larger crowds. For a more intimate experience, consider visiting during the green season (November to May), when the landscape transforms into a lush paradise. While wildlife spotting can be challenging due to dense vegetation, you’ll encounter fewer tourists and enjoy lower rates. Additionally, January to February marks the calving season, a time of heightened predator activity and new life. Ultimately, the Serengeti is a year-round destination, each season offering unique encounters with nature’s wonders.
