The timing of the migration can vary each year depending on rainfall, but your expert guide will know where to find the action. Even outside the migration season, the Central Serengeti offers rich game viewing, with open savannahs, rocky outcrops, and river areas home to elephants, giraffes, hyenas, and more. From the open roof of your safari vehicle, you’ll have panoramic views of this iconic landscape as you track wildlife and soak in the natural beauty of one of Africa’s greatest safari destinations.
