When to go?

Throughout these dry months water is limited & wild creatures tend come together around the small zones that do have water & vegetation. This means you’ve better chance to explore the great Serengeti migration in Tanzania.

Travelling during the rain is not advisable as several visiting areas tend to be closed because of the bad weather condition.

Peak season for tour to Tanzania and Kenya is during the wild creature migration. The migration has its source on Tanzania’s southern Serengeti plains, where great flocks of wild creature & zebra nibble on the rain-ripened grass in the month of January. Between June & October the flocks total 1.4 million creatures in the Masai Mara & here the green grass of the Mara-plains feeds them – until the coming of the November rains.
