Le Serengeti tire son nom du mot maasaï siringet — le lieu où la terre s'étend à l'infini. Sur 14 763 kilomètres carrés de plaines, de bois et de kopjes granitiques, il abrite la plus forte densité de grands prédateurs d'Afrique et la plus grande migration animale du monde.

Des plaines dorées à perte de vue accueillant le plus grand spectacle animalier de la planète — la Grande Migration. Lions, guépards, éléphants et plus de deux millions d'herbivores parcourent ce site classé à l'UNESCO.

June to October is the dry season — animals concentrate at permanent water and the Mara River crossings happen in the north. January to March is calving season in the southern plains, when thousands of wildebeest are born each day and the predator action is at its most intense. April and May bring the long rains: green, quiet and cheaper.

FAQs

When is the best time to see the Great Migration?

The herds move all year. Mara River crossings run July to October in the northern Serengeti. Calving season is late January to March in the southern plains — thousands born daily, and the best predator viewing of the year.

How many days do I need in the Serengeti?

Three nights is the practical minimum — that gives you six game drives across different habitats. Five to seven nights lets you follow the herds properly and cover the north as well as the south.

Will I definitely see lions?

The Serengeti holds over 3,000 lions and sightings are close to guaranteed on a multi-day visit. Leopard and cheetah are common but less predictable; black rhino requires luck and the Moru Kopjes area.

Is the Serengeti open all year?

Yes. April and May are the long rains — fewer visitors, lower rates, lush green landscapes, and some northern roads get difficult. Our guides plan around the conditions rather than avoiding the season.
