The Wild Serengeti
The Serengeti is renowned as one of the world’s premier national parks, offering unmatched wildlife viewing opportunities. Experience exhilarating morning and evening game drives, where you’ll track down Africa’s Big Five—elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo—as well as other fascinating species.
Depending on the season and the movement of the Great Migration, you may also witness millions of wildebeests, alongside hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, in what is considered one of nature’s greatest wildlife spectacles. Through our in-depth long-term experience, we have carefully handpicked the right lodge to maximize your chance of witnessing nature’s greatest wildlife show:
Calving Season (Nov-Mar): Following the rain pattern, the herds start to move further southwards through the central plains. At the peak of the calving season around late January and early March, over 8,000 wildebeests are born daily, attracting big cats to prey on the vulnerable calves.
River Crossing Season (Jul-Aug): This is the time of the famous river crossings, with super-predators and crocodiles in attendance.
