8 Days, 7 nights Serengeti Migration Safari tour Description

The Great Serengeti Migration is one of the most amazing natural spectacles on earth, and an 8-day, 7-night Serengeti Migration safari will give you plenty of time to witness this awe-inspiring event, as well as explore some of the other stunning landscapes and wildlife in the Serengeti ecosystem.

What is the best time of the year to visit Tanzania for 8 Days, 7 nights Serengeti Migration Safari tour?

The best time to visit Tanzania for an 8 days, 7 nights Serengeti Migration Safari tour depends on the timing of the Great Migration, which is a natural phenomenon of over a million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles moving in search of food and water.

The Great Migration typically takes place between June and August, as the animals move from the southern Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya. This is a popular time to visit Tanzania, as you can witness the dramatic river crossings and predator-prey interactions.

However, if you want to avoid the crowds and enjoy lower prices, you may consider visiting during the shoulder season, which is from April to May or November to mid-December. During this time, you may still see some herds, but the numbers will be smaller, and you can enjoy more solitude in the park.

Overall, the best time to visit Tanzania for a Serengeti Migration Safari tour is from June to August if you want to witness the Great Migration, but you can also consider the shoulder seasons for a more relaxed and affordable experience.
