Game viewing on a Serengeti safari
Tanzania, East Africa

Serengeti Safari Tours with Maluku

The Serengeti is Tanzania's largest and most celebrated national park — 14,750 square kilometres of open savanna, acacia woodland, and riverine forest. It holds one of the highest concentrations of wildlife on the continent year-round, and hosts the annual wildebeest migration, when over a million animals move between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara in Kenya. Maluku Global Tours and Safaris arranges game drives into the central Seronera area, the northern Mara River crossing zones, and the remote southern and western corridors depending on the season. We can combine a Serengeti safari with Ngorongoro, Tarangire, or Zanzibar on a longer itinerary.

Great Migration

When to visit the Serengeti

Wildebeest calving season in the Serengeti southern plains

January – March: Calving Season

The short rains have passed and the southern Serengeti plains are green. This is calving season — hundreds of thousands of wildebeest calves are born within a few weeks, attracting predators. Excellent wildlife viewing with few tourists.

Wildebeest crossing the Mara River in the northern Serengeti

July – October: River Crossings

The most dramatic phase of the migration — the herds move north to the Mara River and attempt crossings under pressure from crocodiles. The northern Serengeti is the place to be. July to October is the peak dry season and the most popular time to visit overall.

Year-Round: Resident Wildlife

The Serengeti's resident lion prides, cheetah, leopard, elephant, and giraffe are present all year. The Seronera valley in the central area is reliable at any time. Even during the long rains (April – May), game viewing remains good and rates are lower.
