The Serengeti National Park is huge, roughly 15,000 square kilometers, about the same size same size as the Gambia and Brunei combined! So, it makes sense to split this into different areas for wildlife viewing but also logistics. For wildlife viewing the south is particularly good from December to March as this is when the great wildebeest and zebra migration are in the area. Outside of these times of year, you would want to push further into the central Serengeti which is excellent for wildlife all year round.

The western areas are a lot more hit-and-miss, theoretically the migration should pass through around May, but they move quickly and if you miss them then the wildlife is not as good in this area. Heading to the north of the Serengeti, arguably the most picturesque with more of a varied topography, around the middle of June until the middle to end of July, and again around October to November, is superb, again, the migration should be in the area. Generally, the massive herds cross into the Kenyan Masai Mara around the end of July until the end of September.

As far as logistics are concerned the different areas are easily navigated although there are some factors to be aware of. Generally, the Serengeti would be the last stop on a safari adventure of the area (unless you would prefer not to have any light aircraft flights, please let us know if that is the case and we can easily arrange this) and then you would either fly on to your next destination or to your departing airport. The only area that is slightly different is the northern areas of the Serengeti, to get to the north you would likely need a light aircraft flight to get up there or an overnight stop on the way, this is too far to drive in one day. Whichever location you choose we will take care of all of the arrangements, consult with you on the best location and route, and ensure that your safari adventure operates seamlessly.
