Our Signature Safari Destinations in Tanzania
Serengeti National Park – The Land of the Great Migration
The Serengeti National Park is the heart of Tanzania’s wildlife legacy and one of the best-known safari destinations worldwide. It’s home to the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras journey across the plains, followed by predators in a dramatic circle of life. The Serengeti offers year-round wildlife viewing, but the best time to visit is during the migration (typically from December to July).
Luxury Lodges and Camps in the Heart of the Serengeti
For those seeking the ultimate safari experience, Serengeti offers some of the most luxurious lodges and camps in Africa. Singita Sabora Tented Camp combines opulence with adventure, offering intimate tented suites and access to private game drives. The Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti offers elegant rooms, panoramic views of the Serengeti plains, and an infinity pool. Lemala Nanyukie Camp provides the perfect blend of comfort and authenticity, with spacious tents designed for ultimate relaxation.
When to Visit the Serengeti for the Migration
The Great Migration is a defining experience in the Serengeti. The best months to witness this awe-inspiring spectacle are from December to March, when calving occurs in the southern Serengeti. Alternatively, if you prefer to watch the dramatic river crossings, July to September is the time to visit the northern Serengeti near the Mara River.
