Serengeti National Park

Did you know that the scenery of The Lion King was based on the views of Serengeti? It is also listed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and with a good reason! safari

Serengeti National Park offers 1,5 million hectares of plain Savannah with a huge biological diversity. You can witness the biggest unchanged  migration of animals here.

The best time to visit Serengeti depends on what you want see. Do you want to experience the calving season of the wildebeest? Or do you want to see the great migration? Or would you just rather avoid the big crowds of other tourists?

After the short rain season in November and part of December the migration moves from Kenya to the southern plains of Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Most of the calves will be born around February. 

Around April they will start the great migration north. By May they will be around Moru Kopjes and the west of Seronera.
Around June the migration is around the Grumeti River in the Western Corridor.
In July and August they move more northwards. From August to October the herd will cross to Kenya.

But of course, you can not trust for 100% on the behavior of animals and nature. Also the climate changes have some impact on the rain season and thus the behavior of animals. 

If you want to avoid the crowded time, it is best to visit between March and May (considering that it might rain) or October to beginning of December. An extra advantage of visiting after the rain season: nature is lush and blooming!

An extra attraction in Serengeti: it is possible to fly in a hot air balloon over Serengeti!

Serengeti is reachable by car. It's about a seven hour drive from Arusha (with stops on the way). There is also a possibility to fly into Serengeti.
