Serengeti National Park Safari Tour Reviews
- 5 Days Affordable Annual Wildebeest Migration
We modified the itinerary to have additional days in the Serengeti and Bernard was very helpful in organising the new itinerary. They were quick to reply and made sure we had everything we needed. Bernard kept in contact leading up to the tour and was very helpful with any questions. There was an included airport pick up and drop off in the tour. We had an included Arusha city tour the morning before we flew out. The campsites in the Serengeti are very basic and not necessarily well maintained but the tents and camping equipment provided by the company were good. Free WiFi was also provided on the tour. Our driver Richard from Mashindiko tours was amazing! He did everything he could to ensure we saw as much as possible. He really made the tour one to remember!
Our guide was a very friendly and knowledgeable person. It was a great experience at Ngorongoro Crater. The car was a comfortable and we had water and snacks ready for us. We would love to have this experience again!!

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.

The Wagakuria area stands out for its resident wildlife particularly its lion prides that can number up to 30.
