FAQ
This safari is available year-round, but the best time depends on what you want to see. The dry season (June – October) is ideal for wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources, while the wet season (November – May) offers lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and excellent birdwatching. The Great Migration in Serengeti peaks between December – July, depending on the movement of the herds.
