The Serengeti by Region

Central Serengeti (Seronera), Serengeti, Tanzania

Central Serengeti

Seronera

The ecological heart of the park — permanent water and resident wildlife make this the most reliable year-round game viewing area.

North Serengeti (Mara River), Serengeti, Tanzania

North Serengeti

Mara River

Home to the famous Mara River crossings, best visited during the migration's northern push, roughly July–October.

Western Serengeti (The Corridor), Serengeti, Tanzania

Western Serengeti

The Corridor

A quieter, less-visited route the migration passes through around May–June, with fewer vehicles and vast open country.

Southern Serengeti (Ndutu), Serengeti, Tanzania

Southern Serengeti

Ndutu

The calving grounds, alive with newborn wildebeest and concentrated predator activity from December to March.

When to Go

January – March

Ideal for: Calving season, newborn wildlife, predator action in the south

April – May

Ideal for: Green season landscapes, fewer visitors, lower rates

June – July

Ideal for: Migration moving north, excellent general game viewing

August – October

Ideal for: Mara River crossings, dry-season wildlife concentration

November – December

Ideal for: Short rains, migration returning south, quieter travel

Signature Experience

Follow the Great Migration

Each year, over two million wildebeest and zebra move in a continuous cycle across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem — through calving grounds, river crossings and open plains. We track the migration's current position and build your safari around where the action actually is, not a fixed date on a map.
