About This Destination

Serengeti

The Serengeti is the world's greatest wildlife spectacle — a living, breathing drama played out across 14,763 square kilometres of open savanna, kopje-studded plains, and riverine forest. Named from the Maasai word meaning 'endless plains,' it earns that description a thousand times over.

The defining event is the Great Migration: between July and October, over 1.5 million wildebeest and 250,000 zebra surge north across the Mara River in search of fresh grazing, braving crocodile-filled crossings in scenes of raw, unscripted nature. But even outside migration season, the Serengeti delivers. The southern Ndutu plains host calving season from January to March — when thousands of new wildebeest are born into a landscape watched closely by lions, hyenas, and cheetahs.

Our camps are positioned to track the animals' movement throughout the year, ensuring you're always in the right place at the right time.
