GUIDE:

Section 1: The Great Migration - A Wildlife Spectacle

The optimal time to witness the Great Migration in Serengeti National Park is generally from late June to early September. During this period, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores embark on their epic journey across the plains, crossing the Grumeti and Mara rivers. This migration spectacle provides a thrilling opportunity to observe predators in action and witness the challenges faced by these animals during river crossings.

Section 2: Dry Season - Predators in Action

The dry season, from late June to October, is the prime time to experience predators in action in Serengeti National Park. During this period, the scarcity of water prompts wildlife to congregate around water sources, creating ideal conditions for predator-prey interactions. Lions, cheetahs, leopards, and other predators are more active as they hunt in the drier landscape. The clear visibility and thinner vegetation make it easier for visitors to spot these animals in action.

Section 3: Green Season - A Lush Paradise?

For those seeking a unique and lush experience, the best time to visit Serengeti National Park during the green season is from November to May. This period, also known as the rainy season, transforms the landscape into a vibrant paradise with lush vegetation and blooming flowers. While wildlife is more dispersed, it's an ideal time for birdwatching, as migratory birds flock to the region.
