Serengeti, the
African Myth

A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Serengeti is much more than a national park; it is a living legend. Its name, which means "endless plains" in the Maasai language, perfectly describes the vastness of its landscapes that stretch as far as the eye can see.

This park is world-renowned for hosting the greatest wildlife spectacle on the planet: the Great Migration. Every year, millions of wildebeest and zebras travel thousands of kilometers in search of fresh pasture, closely followed by their predators. Witnessing this cycle of life is an unforgettable and powerful experience, set in the heart of pristine wilderness.

Seasonal Guide

When and Where to Go
in the Serengeti?

Contrary to popular belief, the Great Migration happens all year round. The question isn't "when" to see it, but "where" to be at the right time. Here is the annual cycle to guide you.
Location: Southern Serengeti (Ndutu region)

Highlight: Hundreds of thousands of wildebeest calves are born within a few weeks. It is an incredibly moving yet intense time, as it draws many predators. The landscapes are lush and green.

Location: Western Corridor and Central Serengeti

Highlight: Herds gather and begin their long march north. In June, you may witness the first perilous crossings of the crocodile-infested Grumeti River.

Location: Northern Serengeti (Mara River)

Highlight: This is the climax of the journey. Thousands of wildebeest plunge into the Mara River waters to reach the plains of the Maasai Mara in Kenya, braving crocodiles and strong currents. This is high safari season.

Location: Central and Eastern Serengeti

Highlight: With the arrival of the short rainy season, the herds begin their descent back to the fertile southern plains for the next calving cycle. It is a beautiful and less crowded time to visit.
