When to visit the Serengeti?

The best times to visit Serengeti National Park are from January to February or June to September. However, you should arrange your vacation around the Great Migration. For example, the optimum time to observe the herd in the Southern Serengeti is in the winter, while the Western Corridor and Northern Serengeti are ideal for the summer and fall. 

Most safari operators will know where and when the animals will travel, and they will adapt their schedules accordingly. Temperatures remain generally stable with daytime highs in the 80s.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area has milder temperatures because of its greater elevation. April and May have the highest rainfall, and many lodges and camps close during this sluggish season.
