Join a 4-day Serengeti safari to witness the incredible wildebeest migration. Explore Africa’s most iconic wildlife destination and its dramatic landscapes.

What to See:

1. Great Wildebeest Migration: The Great Migration is the highlight of this safari. Every year, over a million wildebeest, accompanied by zebras, gazelles, and other animals, travel through the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing land. Depending on when you visit, you may witness the dramatic river crossings at the Grumeti River or Mara River, where herds brave the waters, facing crocodiles and strong currents in an effort to reach greener pastures.
2. Big Five: The Serengeti is renowned for offering the chance to see the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. Lions can often be spotted lounging in the grass, while leopards may be seen perched in trees, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings. Elephants roam in large herds, and buffalo are frequently found near waterholes.
3. Predator Action: The Serengeti’s ecosystem supports a high concentration of predators. Lions, cheetahs, and leopards hunt in this vast landscape, and with a little luck, you'll witness these apex predators in action as they pursue their prey.
4. Birdlife: Serengeti is a birdwatcher's paradise. With over 500 species, birdwatchers can enjoy sightings of exotic birds such as ostriches, secretary birds, and vultures, as well as migratory species during the right season.

How to Dress on Safari:

1. Neutral-colored clothing such as khaki, brown, or olive green is ideal for blending with the environment and avoiding insect attraction.
2. Light, breathable fabrics are recommended for the day’s warmth, while a fleece or light jacket will be useful for chilly mornings and evenings in the Serengeti.
3. Comfortable shoes are essential for game drives and optional walking safaris, so opt for closed shoes or hiking boots.
4. A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are crucial to protect you from the sun, as the Serengeti can be quite hot during the day.
5. If traveling during the green season, consider bringing a light rain jacket as showers are possible.

What to Carry on Safari:

1. Binoculars for better wildlife viewing and birdwatching.
2. A camera with extra batteries and memory cards to capture the stunning moments.
3. A reusable water bottle to keep hydrated throughout the day.
4. Insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes and other insects.
5. Personal medications and a basic first aid kit for emergencies.
6. A small daypack for your safari essentials, including sunscreen, snacks, and extra layers.

Best Time to Travel & Safari Seasons:

1. Dry Season (June - October): The dry season is the peak time for safari, offering excellent wildlife sightings as animals gather around waterholes, making it easier to spot them. During this time, the Great Migration is often in the northern Serengeti, and you may witness dramatic river crossings at the Mara River. The dry weather also means fewer mosquitoes, making it a comfortable time for outdoor activities.
2. Green Season (November - May): The green season is a fantastic time for those seeking fewer crowds and lush landscapes. Though the rain may make some areas more challenging to access, this season is perfect for witnessing the calving season (January - March), when thousands of wildebeest give birth to their calves, attracting predators. Birdwatching is exceptional, and the Serengeti is at its most beautiful, with vibrant greenery and blooming flowers.
