Best Time for a Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari
June to October – Dry Season: This is a popular time for a 4-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari.During the dry season, vegetation is generally thinner and wildlife can be easier to observe. The Great Migration also moves through different areas of the Serengeti during these months, creating opportunities for spectacular wildlife encounters.
January to March – Calving Season: January through March can be an excellent period for travelers interested in the Great Migration calving season.The southeastern Serengeti and Ndutu area can hold large concentrations of wildebeest and zebra during this period.
April to May – Green Season: April and May receive more rainfall, particularly during the long-rain period. The landscape becomes green and lush, while visitor numbers can be lower than during the peak dry season.
How Difficult Is This Safari?
This is not a physically demanding trekking trip. Most of the safari is spent in a 4×4 safari vehicle during game drives.
You should, however, be prepared for:
-
Long driving days
-
Uneven roads
-
Early morning departures
-
Dust and changing temperatures
-
Time spent in the safari vehicle
Comfortable clothing, sun protection, comfortable shoes and a good camera are recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 4 days enough for a Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari?
Yes. Four days can provide a good introduction to both destinations, especially when the itinerary is planned carefully. The exact amount of time spent in each park depends on your starting point, accommodation and route.
Can I start the safari from Moshi?
Yes. A 4-day safari can be arranged from Moshi, although the driving times and itinerary may differ from an Arusha departure.
Can I start from Arusha?
Yes. Arusha is one of the most common starting points for northern Tanzania safaris.
Is this safari private?
A private safari can be arranged for travelers who want their own vehicle and guide. Join-group options may also be available depending on the selected package.
Can I customize the itinerary?
Yes. Depending on your travel dates and accommodation preferences, the itinerary can be adjusted. Contact Kilinge Adventures to discuss your preferred route.
Can I do this safari from Zanzibar?
Yes. A fly-in safari can reduce road travel time, but it will have a different price and itinerary from the standard road safari.
What animals can I see?
Possible sightings include lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas and many bird species. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed because animals move freely in their natural environment.
What is the difference between camping and lodge safari?
