Best Time to Visit:
Shoulder Season: October to February
The weather is hot during these months.
Wildebeest calving takes place from late January in the southern Serengeti.
High Season: June to September
The weather is cooler and dry and most days are sunny. Hotels in popular areas are often full, with high-season prices.
Animal-spotting is easiest as foliage is sparse and the animals congregate around dwindling water sources.
Low Season: March to May
Heavy rains make secondary roads muddy and some areas inaccessible during these months, but it seldom rains all day, every day, and landscapes are lush and green.
These months are cheaper, quiet with fewer visitors and almost as appealing as visiting during the more popular months.
