Your Journey, Step by Step

Best Time to Explore Serengeti National Park

The optimal time to visit Serengeti National Park largely depends on individual interests. All the seasons and their highlights are broken down here:

Dry Season (June to October)

The period, from June to October known as the season, is a time for viewing wildlife and partaking in adventurous activities. During this period, when vegetation is limited and animals gather around water sources, going on game drives affords the opportunity to witness the Big Five and the famed Great Migration. Specifically, from June to September the Mara River crossings during the migration offer spectacular scenarios of survival and predators looking for victims. The weather during this season tends to be colder and dryer making safaris comfortable; yet, mornings and nights may have a chill, in the air.

Wet Season (November to May)

During the season, which stretches from November to May, the Serengeti changes to a verdant and colorful landscape. The park thrives under the nourishing rains, resulting in greenery and beautiful wildflowers that beautify the plains. This period is particularly enthralling for photography fans and bird connoisseurs, as it presents a backdrop loaded with bird species and stunning scenery, allowing unlimited opportunity to take mesmerizing shots. Additionally, during January to March, the southern Serengeti becomes a focus for a phenomenon known as the calving season. During this season, hundreds of thousands of wildebeest give birth attracting predators and uncovering the intensity of life and death in its form, amidst nature’s untamed beauty.

Safari Ride Safety Guidelines

Follow the expert instructions provided by your guide, as they have significant insights, into the local animals and safety standards.
During game drives, remain inside the allocated vehicle at all times until when you’re explicitly advised to depart in certain safe zones.
Create an atmosphere by keeping noise levels low and reducing movements. This will promote coexistence with the wildlife during your expedition.
Respect the behaviors of the wildlife by maintaining a distance and allowing them to carry on undisturbed. This will give you with an immersive and gratifying experience.
To emphasize both their safety and yours, refrain from feeding animals as it might upset their natural behavior patterns and establish dependence.
Play your part in conservation efforts by avoiding littering and protecting the environment for future generations to enjoy.
Make sure to inform your guides about any conditions you may have, carry prescriptions and have a basic first aid kit on ready for any health emergencies that may arise during your safari.
To ensure an experience, take the appropriate immunizations, for the region to prevent infections.

Hot Air Balloon Ride

Add a hot air balloon flight experience at an extra cost to your Serengeti National Park Safari Tour experience. At sunrise when sunlight skims the horizon, take off on a pre-organized tour beginning in a comfortable transfer over serene landscapes and finally arriving at the launch area. Under the direction of seasoned balloon pilots, be awed by a flight above the clouds and enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the sweeping landscapes and prolific wildlife of Serengeti. From wildebeests in migratory groups through to giraffes quietly munching acacia leaves, the wildlife lover has a new viewing platform from on high. Gently float on the wind as you take in plains and meandering streams as whatever wildlife comes into view.

After enjoying a journey, in the sky, you can celebrate with a brunch accompanied by champagne after you land. It’s the way to end an adventure that happens only once in a lifetime. You don’t have to worry about transportation to your accommodation as we will take care of that for you, assuring a transition and leaving you with wonderful memories of your fantastic hot air balloon safari.
