Whether you want to witness the Great Migration or avoid the crowds, knowing when to book can make a significant difference.   1. Best Time to Visit Dry Season (June to October): This is the ideal time to book your safari if you want to experience clear skies, excellent game viewing, and dry conditions that make wildlife easier to spot. The animals gather around watering holes, making it a fantastic time for game viewing in both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Pros: Best wildlife sightings, excellent weather conditions. Cons: Higher prices due to peak season. Wet Season (November to May): While the wet season brings some rain, it also provides a unique experience with lush landscapes and fewer tourists. This season is perfect for those who prefer a quieter, more affordable safari and want to witness the Greening of the Serengeti. Pros: Fewer crowds, lower prices, and lush scenery. Cons: Possible rain and some areas may be harder to access. 2. Best Time for the Great Migration The Great Migration in the Serengeti is a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle and one of the most popular reasons people book safaris. The migration typically takes place from May to July (when the herds move north into Kenya) and October to November (when the herds return south). If you want to witness this breathtaking event, plan your trip during these months. Pros: Witness the iconic wildebeest migration. Cons: Can be crowded and expensive. 3. Off-Peak Season (April to May) If you’re looking for discounted rates and don’t mind some rain, the off-peak months from April to May are ideal. While some parts of the park may be less accessible due to heavy rains, the Ngorongoro Crater remains open for visits, and the lush green landscapes make for a beautiful and peaceful safari. Pros: Lower prices and fewer tourists. Cons: Some rain, and a chance of mud making travel harder. 4. How Far in Advance Should You Book? To secure your luxury safari tour with the best accommodations and services, it’s advisable to book at least 3-6 months in advance, especially if you’re planning to travel during the peak season (June to October). For the off-peak season, booking 2-3 months ahead is usually sufficient. Why Book Early? Booking your luxury safari in advance offers several advantages: Availability of Exclusive Lodges: During peak times, the best luxury lodges in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater fill up quickly. Better Rates: Early bookings can help you secure better rates, especially for luxury services and private tours. Custom Itinerary: Early booking gives you more flexibility in tailoring your itinerary, ensuring you get the best experiences, from private game drives to luxury accommodations.
