Top 5 Reasons to Visit Serengeti during the Dry Season

The Serengeti is a year-round safari destination, but the dry season, typically from June to October offers some of the most rewarding experiences. Here’s why it’s the perfect time to visit:

1. Incredible Wildlife Viewing

As water sources shrink, animals gather around rivers and waterholes, making them easier to spot. Expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, and even elusive leopards in action.

2. The Great Migration Crossings

This is when the iconic river crossings happen. Thousands of wildebeests and zebras risk it all to cross crocodile-infested rivers, a true wildlife drama you don’t want to miss.

3. Clear Skies and Stunning Sunsets

With little rain and low humidity, the skies are clear, the landscapes golden, and the sunsets unforgettable. It’s a photographer’s dream.

4. Fewer Mosquitoes

Dry season means fewer mosquitoes, reducing the risk of malaria and making evenings more comfortable, especially around camps and lodges.

5. Easy Access and Game Drives

Roads are drier and more accessible, which means smoother game drives and the ability to reach remote corners of the park.
