The focus of most safaris in northern Tanzania visit Serengeti National Park, a famous ground for the wildebeests migration safaris. Away from this dramatic wildlife spectacle, the Serengeti’s density of animals makes for incredible wildlife safari holiday throughout the year. See the big five safari in Serengeti, from (though black rhino is rarely seen) giraffe, cheetah, spotted hyena, black-backed jackal, warthog and a huge variety of antelope. Along the Grumeti and Mara Rivers are home to pods of hippos and gigantic Nile-crocodiles, known for their feeding fury during the Serengeti wildebeest river crossings.

If on a first-time safari in Africa, the wonder and excitement of a Serengeti safari trip can be enjoyed in the low season when fewer tourists crowd the endless savannah landscapes. As from June to October, catch the Great Wildebeest Migration crossing back and forth over the Mara River to Masai Mara, a great sight, but also one of the busiest times of the year on an East African safari calendar.
