The Serengeti, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Tanzania, is divided into three distinctive regions. Each region’s rhythm is dictated by the migration, promising visitors a profound connection with nature’s cycles.

Central Serengeti (Seronera region): The Seronera Valley, a haven for the ‘Big Five’, is a year-round wildlife destination due to the permanent water of the Seronera River. The area is especially vibrant from April to June when the wildebeest herds pass through on their northward trek, and again during the dry season from June to October when animals congregate around waterholes.

Northern Serengeti (Kogatende area): Remote and relatively undisturbed, the Kogatende region becomes the migration’s focal point from July to November, with the dramatic Mara River crossings as wildebeest and zebras brave the crocodile-infested waters. It’s a raw and thrilling spectacle of survival in the wild.

Southern Serengeti (Ndutu and Kusini plains): The calving season from January to March sees the plains come alive with newborn wildebeest, and predator-prey interactions are heightened. It marks the beginning of the migration cycle, with the herds moving north as the dry season sets in.
