Elephants beneath ancient baobab trees in Tarangire National Park
The Elephant Sanctuary

Ancient Baobabs. Ancient Herds.

Common Questions

Know Before You Go

The Serengeti rewards visitors year-round — the experience simply shifts with the season.

· absolute wilderness guides
Plan your safari

The Serengeti rewards visitors year-round, but the experience shifts dramatically with the season. The Great Migration — over 1.5 million wildebeest and zebra moving in a continuous loop — is the defining spectacle. River crossings at the Mara River typically peak between July and October, when the herds push north into the Masai Mara. This is the most dramatic period and the most popular.

For calving season — when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest calves are born on the southern plains — visit between January and March. Predator activity is extraordinary during this time. The green season (November to May) brings fewer visitors, lush landscapes, and excellent birding. We tailor every itinerary around your travel window to ensure you see the migration at its most compelling.
