Reading the Serengeti by Season
Back to the journal
The Serengeti migration isn't one event — it's a year-round circuit, and where you should be standing changes by the month. The southern plains around Ndutu hold the calving season; the northern river crossings draw the crowds later in the year.
Neither is objectively 'better.' They're different stories. We build each itinerary around which one you actually want to witness, rather than defaulting to the most photographed month.
