Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti National Park is a Tanzanian national park in the Serengeti ecosystem in the north-central Tanzania (Mara and Simiyu regions). It is famous and well known for its annual migration of over 1.5 million white-bearded wildebeests. That migration is the largest remaining unaltered animal migration.
The park was established in 1951 and covers 5,700 square miles (14,763 square km) of some of the best grassland range in Africa, as well as extensive acacia woodland savanna. The park extends 100 miles (160 km) southeast from points near the shores of Lake Victoria and, in its eastern portion, 100 miles (160 km) south from the Kenya-Tanzania border.
Best Time to Visit the Serengeti National Park.
The best time to visit the Serengeti National Park is in the Dry season (from late June to October). This period offers the best wildlife viewing in general, with the wildebeest migration as its absolute highlight.
Wildlife viewing is good throughout the year, but certain areas are better at specific times. The timing of the migration varies every year (the best chance of seeing it is during June and July) while the wildebeest calving is from late January to February.
Dry Season - June to October
June and July are the best months to see the wildebeest migration in the western corridor and August to September in the north of the park, it's mostly sunny and there is very little rain.
Wet Season - November to May
Late January to February is the time to see the calving – this is an excellent time to see predator action. April and May are low season, so it's usually less crowded and rates might be lower.
