World Travel Awards Nominee 2024
The pristine Serengeti National Park is nestled in the heart of northern Tanzania. Encompassing vast plains of savannah, rolling hills, and a network of rivers, the Serengeti offers sanctuary to an abundance of wildlife and incredible safari opportunities year-round. Renowned for the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth—the annual migration, numerous zebra and gazelle, move in a circular pattern between Tanzania and Kenya in search of new pastures brought to life by the rain.
A dramatic highlight of their journey is crossing the Grumeti River, distressed wildebeest and zebra attempt to navigate the crocodile-infested waters making for a nail-biting experience. Experience calving season when the gorgeous newborn animals can be spotted, along with a large number of big cats.
The Serengeti offers a selection of luxury lodges and mobile tented camps, ensuring an unforgettable safari experience.
Serengeti National Park, home to Africa's richest population of wildlife, offers incredible game viewing experiences year-round. The best time to visit depends largely on what you wish to see. Many visitors are eager to witness the thrilling wildebeest migration, but this can be challenging to plan for, as the timing of the migration varies each year. Since the migration is a year-long process, which can be observed throughout the year. However, because the wildebeest traverse vast areas, certain key events in the migration can only be witnessed in specific regions of the park
When planning your trip consider that the calving season, usually runs from January and March with the river crossing happening between July and August. The best time for general wildlife watching is considered to be during June and July when animals are easier to find as they tend to congregate around water sources, and the vegetation is typically less dense. The weather is also ideal during this period, with little to no rainfall.
Visitors should note that while days are usually warm during this time, mornings and evenings can be chilly, so be sure to pack some warm clothing for early morning game drives.

First time to Cape Town
We are a group of ten friends traveling together to Cape Town for the first time. Safari.com was our top choice for travel agents. Leché and Tracy were incredibly helpful and prompt with our questions and bookings. The trip to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve was fantastic, and everything went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Safari.com for your safari plans!

Jayson is polite and knowledgeable…Highly recommend
Jayson was a polite and knowledgeable person. He was never 'pushy' and gave us a lot of options. He was very understanding when we had to 'delay' our plans due to an aging mother-in-laws health and wellbeing. We have every intention of pursuing our dream of visiting Africa in the 2025/26 season and we will certainly be in-touch with Jayson. Many thanks to Jayson
