Why Visit Central Serengeti?
Year-round game viewing in iconic landscapes.
The Serengeti is most famous for the annual migration, where over one million wildebeest, half a million zebra, and several hundreds of thousands of Grant's and Thomson's gazelles migrate in a circulatory 800km route into the Maasai Mara and then back into the Serengeti. Many people don't realise that due its size and distance, the migration is actually a full-year spectacle, the result of animals following the seasons to find the best grazing areas in their fight for survival.
- 🐾 Year-Round Wildlife
-
Resident lions, leopards, elephants, and grazers keep the plains alive, even outside the migration.
- 🐾 Seronera Valley
-
A permanent water source that draws large concentrations of predators and prey.
- 🐾 Flexible Stays
-
From seasonal camps during migration to comfortable lodges, you can tailor your safari style.
Best Times to Visit Central Serengeti
A safari destination for every season.
With its reliable wildlife, the Central Serengeti is always rewarding, though different times of year bring unique highlights.
- ➡ January to March
-
See the migration in the southern Serengeti and around Ndutu, where up to 8,000 young wildebeest and zebra are born every day.
- ➡ April and May
-
See the herds moving around the central Seronera area, where some will stay most of the year, whilst the majority move on, looking for fresh pasture.
- ➡ June
-
June is rutting season, when the noise is incredible, as males fight for the right to mate with the females. The wildebeest is not a good looking animal by any stretch of the imagination and seeing the males trying to convince the females that they are worthy mates is an amusing sight. At this time of year, herds cross the Grumeti River in the Western Corridor section of the Serengeti.
- ➡ July to October
-
Peak season as everyone comes to view the famous river crossings as the wildebeest move across the rivers in the northern and eastern Serengeti into Kenya's Maasai Mara, and then back again in November. Not all of the animals make it across the rivers; it's a perilous endeavour running the gauntlet of crocodiles in the water, with lions on the bank looking to prey on the most fatigued individuals.
Take a sneak peak to what you can expect.
