Serengeti National Park Safari | Soul of the Serengeti Safari

Come visit the only place in the world where you can witness millions of migrating wildebeest grazing over the Acacia lined plains. The Serengeti is the cradle of human life, and probably the closest to an untouched African wilderness you will ever get.

The magic of Serengeti National Park is not easy to put into words. Not only seeing, but hearing the buzz of millions of wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra so thick in the air that it vibrates through your entire body. Cheetahs racing through the plains, lions resting under acacia trees, leopards high atop kopjes (boulders) and elephants drinking from watering holes are all sights you will see while driving through the never ending golden plains.

Due to its seasonal changes that shape the pattern of the Great Migration, the Serengeti National Park is exciting and captivating all year round.

March - April

The herds along with their calves will begin to migrate west, heading towards their ultimate destination of the northern Serengeti. This will last until June. During this time there is a smaller crossing at the Grumeti River where visitors can watch the migrating herds cross the river which is loaded with the fiercely aggressive Nile crocodile!

June - July

Dry season begins and lasts until the middle of October. This is when the herds will be in the Northern Serengeti which is where the Mara river will be host to one of the most spectacular wildlife events in the world - the crossing...Will the herds that have made it this far, make it successfully to the other side of the river while the crocodiles, who only eat one time a year, wait anxiously below? The excitement of this event rivals the most exhilarating sporting events in the world. Heart racing, edge of your seat, hands clenched, will you be the next one to witness this incredible natural event?!

November - December

The migrating herds have arrived to graze on the short grass plains of the east and south Serengeti. This is also calving season, when herds of Wildebeest and Zebra gather to give birth almost simultaneously, which also triggers a massive influx of the apex predators who will hunt on these same plains. This season lasts until March.

All I wanted to do was get back to Africa. We had not left it, yet, but when I would wake in the night I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.
