When to go to Serengeti

Tanzania’s high season, June to October, has dry weather, smoother roads and the migration. It is also the most expensive and the busiest.

The low season, March to May, is cheaper and quieter, with heavy rain on some days. The shoulder seasons, late October to early December and April to early June, balance the two.
