When to visit Serengeti

2026-10-16

The best months for Serengeti, Tanzania: weather, crowds and prices through the year.

Spring and autumn usually bring mild weather and fewer visitors to Serengeti: the light is softer and rooms are easier to find.

The high season is busiest and most expensive; book early, or travel at the edges of the season for the best of both.
