Places to Go on a Safari

The Land of Endless Plains

Stretching over 14,750 square kilometers, the Serengeti is Tanzania’s most celebrated wildlife destination and one of the world’s last remaining great wildernesses. Renowned as the stage for the Great Wildebeest Migration, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse its rolling plains each year, pursued by lions, cheetahs, and other predators in a breathtaking spectacle of survival.

Migration Patterns & Best Months to Visit:

• Southern Serengeti (Ndutu & Grumeti areas): December to March – witness the calving season, where thousands of newborn wildebeest enter the plains, attracting predators in dramatic predator-prey interactions.
• Central Serengeti (Seronera): June to October – prime time for classic game viewing, including lions, leopards, and elephants in open savannahs.
• Northern Serengeti & Mara River: July to October – famous for the Mara River crossings, where wildebeest and zebras brave crocodile-infested waters in one of nature’s most epic spectacles.

The Serengeti’s landscapes are equally mesmerizing, from open savannahs and acacia-dotted horizons to river valleys and granite kopjes that provide perfect vantage points for wildlife viewing. Countless films and documentaries, including the inspiration for The Lion King, have captured the Serengeti’s iconic scenery and dramatic wildlife encounters.

Every game drive here offers a front-row seat to nature’s most epic performances, making it a destination that promises unforgettable adventure, awe-inspiring memories, and stories that will last a lifetime.
