Best Time to Visit

The best time for a Northern Circuit 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. All parks offer excellent sightings year-round. As of today, July 8, 2025, 12:00 PM EAT, the dry season ensures optimal game viewing conditions.
