Best time to go
This tour can usually be planned year-round, but the best month depends on the route. Dry-season months are often excellent for wildlife concentration, while green-season months can bring dramatic light, fewer crowds and attractive scenery. Migration-focused trips should be matched to the relevant Serengeti region before booking.
