Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park at a glance
River crossings are seen in the northern Serengeti, but outside migration season, these plains are largely free of safari-goers making it a great time to travel. The wildebeest herds gather in the south from December to February to feed on the lush grass and drop their young. And in the east, you’ll find a high concentration of lion, leopard and cheetah. Serengeti safaris usually start at Kilimanjaro International Airport, just outside Arusha, from where you’ll catch a light aircraft flight. Alternatively, fly to Ngorongoro Crater for your first safari and then take a three-hour drive to your next camp in the Serengeti.
Serengeti National Park destinations
The Serengeti is an excellent year-round destination, though there are events — for example, the wildebeest river crossings — that are only seen at certain times of the year. Our migration camps move around the Serengeti with the herds, while Sayari and Namiri Plains are open all year for exceptional game viewing in the northern, central and eastern Serengeti.
