Translated from the Maa language as ‘the land that moves on forever’, the Serengeti’s vast rolling grasslands and golden savannah give travelers a soul-stirring sense of space. Yet, “How can one convey the power of Serengeti?” asked Cyril Connolly in The Evening Colonnade. “It is an immense, limitless lawn, under a marquee of sky…Like its neighboring Masai Mara, the Serengeti is undoubtedly the world’s greatest spectacle, hosting its own share of the great wildebeest migration (from about January to September) and with a bazillion of wildlife inhabiting this Great Plains year-round, makes it the best destination for Safari and its top-notch lodges and campsite makes it a one stop destination for travelers in Tanzania.
Witness the great wildebeest migration from where the great unfolding happens.

Enjoy year-round game viewing
Such is the density of wildlife in the Serengeti that it provides a spectacular safari experience no matter what time of year you visit.
Safari high season (about July to October) delivers unrivalled game viewing – the Serengeti is one of the best places to observe lions in the wild.
The low or Green Season (about November to March) is much quieter and calmer, giving you much more space and time to absorb the beauty of the rain-replenished landscape.
The dramatic Migration River crossings run from about May to August.
