Best time to go for a safari in Serengeti National Park.
The dry season is the time of year when the Serengeti experiences favorable weather conditions, making it the best period for safaris. The months of June, July, August, and September are the most popular dry months for wildlife viewing in Serengeti.
During these months, there is minimal rainfall and less dense vegetation, which facilitates easy viewing of a wide variety of wildlife from the comfort of your 4×4 safari vehicle while on a game drive.
From June to September, these months are also the most advantageous for witnessing the Great wildebeest migration. For those keen on witnessing the calving season on the Southern side of Serengeti, January and February are the prime months, so be sure to mark them on your travel itinerary.
The calving of wildebeest takes place around the Ndutu area of Serengeti, and if your interest lies with predators, it is advisable to visit the Central region (Seronera) in June to July.
