Imagine golden plains stretching as far as the eye can see. The morning sun breaks over acacia trees as elephants move silently through the mist. Lions yawn on ancient kopjes, and in the distance, millions of wildebeests begin their timeless migration.

This is Serengeti National Park — not just a destination, but a living, breathing masterpiece of nature. For travelers from Europe seeking something truly transformative, this is where adventure meets authenticity.

Our Serengeti National Park travel advice isn’t about checking boxes it’s about helping you connect with Africa’s wild heart safely, comfortably, and meaningfully.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Serengeti?

The Serengeti changes beautifully with each season.

  • June to October (Dry Season): Perfect for wildlife viewing, with clear skies and animals gathering around water sources.

  • December to March (Calving Season): Witness the Great Migration’s newborns in the southern plains — an awe-inspiring moment for photographers.

  • April to May (Green Season): Fewer crowds, lush landscapes, and great rates — ideal for quiet explorers.

Travel Tip: European visitors often combine Serengeti with Zanzibar for a beach-and-bush experience a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
