What is the best time to visit Serengeti National Park to witness the Great Migration?
The Great Migration follows distinct seasonal patterns in Serengeti National Park. Visit between July and September to see dramatic river crossings in the northern Serengeti. February to March brings the calving season in the southern plains. Properties like Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge provide front-row seats to the migration where over two million wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River.
