Best Time to Visit
The best time for a luxury safari is the dry season (late June to October), ideal for wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources, with the Great Migration’s river crossings in the Serengeti (July-August). The short dry season (January-February) offers clear skies and fewer crowds, perfect for photography and spotting newborn wildebeests. The green season (March-May) brings lush landscapes, with light rains rarely disrupting activities. The Ngorongoro Crater offers excellent sightings year-round. As of today, July 8, 2025, the dry season ensures optimal game viewing conditions.
Why Choose Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater?
Serengeti National Park: Renowned for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeests and zebras traverse the plains, Serengeti is a bucket-list destination. Its vast savannahs host abundant predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards, offering exceptional game drives.
Ngorongoro Crater: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this natural caldera is home to nearly 30,000 animals in a compact area. It’s one of the best places to spot the rare black rhino and the Big Five in a single day, making it a safari highlight.
