Zones & Areas

Each section of the park has its own character and best season.

Seronera Valley

The heart of the Serengeti with the highest density of predators. Leopards in acacias, lions on lookout rocks, hippos in the Seronera River.

Best time:Year-round

Northern Circuit

Fewer visitors, more adventure. The Mara region borders the Masai Mara in Kenya — the promise of the river crossing in July and August.

Best time:July – August

Western Corridor

The Grumeti River with its gigantic crocodiles waits for the migrating herds. Breathtaking spectacle in May and June.

Best time:May – June

Southern Serengeti

Ndutu area: the calving grounds of the wildebeest. From January to March, hundreds of thousands of calves are born — and cheetahs, lions and hyenas compete for their share.

Best time:January – March
