Serengeti Game Viewing - Migration Time

Serengeti Game Viewing - Migration Time

After breakfast, you are transferred back to Manyara airstrip and fly to the Serengeti. Arrive at the airstrip and transfer to camp via a meandering game drive. You are spending 3x nights at Kichakani camp including all your meals, shared scheduled game drives and local beverages.

Lamai area (June to October): This is the time to watch thousands of wildebeest take a leap of faith into the water, facing hungry Nile crocodiles and cantankerous hippos. When the herds are on the move, the air is full of grunting, thudding hooves and billowing dust.

Serengeti South (December to March): Spend time game viewing on grassy plains, where the wildebeest gather to give birth around February each year. Watch thousands of wobbly-legged young finding their feet, something they have to do quickly to avoid the watchful big cats that stalk these plains.

Main Destination:
Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
High Season July to March (The Seronera area is crowded)
Best Weather June to October (Little to no rainfall)

Games drives in the Serengeti

Games drives in the Serengeti

The name ‘Kichakani’ is Swahili for ‘in the bush’, and this is exactly where you will find yourself at this extraordinary camp, a gem that celebrates the ultimate remote, close-to-nature experience.

The northern location showcases an incredible view of wildebeest crossing the Mara River during the great migration from June to November, while the southern location enjoys a prime position for witnessing wildebeest calves, every December to March. Aside from the migration, spectacular predator and prey action is expected from both locations, thanks to an abundance of wildlife, from zebras, wildebeest and gazelles to lions, hyenas, cheetahs and leopards.
