Wild Africa,
Beautifully Revealed

The Serengeti is one of Africa's most celebrated wildernesses: an immense ecosystem of grasslands, acacia woodland and riverine forest stretching across northern Tanzania. Its wildlife is extraordinary, but its true luxury lies in space—the freedom to follow the day slowly, guided by the movement of animals and the changing light.

Across the ecosystem

Four Serengeti Landscapes

Each region has its own rhythm. The right place depends on the season, the wildlife and the kind of journey you want to experience.

01 · CENTRAL

Seronera

River valleys, open plains and exceptional resident wildlife make the Central Serengeti rewarding throughout the year—particularly for big-cat encounters.

02 · NORTH

Kogatende & Mara River

Between July and October, migrating herds gather in the north and may attempt dramatic crossings of the Mara River.

03 · WEST

Grumeti Corridor

Woodlands, riverine forest and the Grumeti River create a distinctive setting for the migration from roughly May into July.

04 · SOUTH

Ndutu & Southern Plains

From January to March, short-grass plains become the stage for calving season, attracting large herds and intense predator activity.

When to visit

Every Season Tells a Different Story

The Serengeti is a year-round destination. Your ideal timing depends on whether you value migration drama, green landscapes, fewer vehicles or classic dry-season wildlife viewing.

January — March

Green Season

Lush southern plains, calving herds and abundant predator activity around Ndutu.

June — October

Dry Season

Excellent wildlife visibility, cooler days and migration movement towards the west and north.

November — December

Short Rains

Fresh landscapes, dramatic skies and returning herds with fewer visitors in many areas.
