JUNE TO SEPTEMBER
The previous months long rains have ensured that the Serengeti plains contain substantial grazing and await the arrival of the half a million plus Wildebeest, Zebra and Thompson’s Gazelles amongst others. The game viewing in these months is superb and the opportunity to catch one of the greatest migrations on earth is quite spectacular. The mornings and evenings are generally quite cool and a jacket is definitely needed for the morning safaris.

OCTOBER TO DECEMBER
The short rains typically fall in these months. Temperatures will rise slightly after the cooler months and will stay in the mid 20’s for most days and begin to exceed 30 degrees toward the end of November. Resident wildlife on the concession has been exceptional over the last few years during these months, with large numbers of especially Thomson Gazelle, Topi and Zebra extremely prevalent on the plains.
