Different Areas in Serengeti:

 

Northern Serengeti: Renowned for its prime location for witnessing the spectacular river-crossing during late July – October. Good year-round game viewing of residential wildlife in this is gently rolling country, broken by small rivers and occasional hills and kopjes.

 

   

 

Central Serengeti: Exceptional good destination for viewing the Big Cats – high densities of relaxed leopards, cheetah and lion. Within easy access to the Southern Plains and the Western Corridor, Seronera is the great base for the migration from November to June

 

   

 

Southern Plains: Perfect destination for grazing wildebeest from late-November to April, in this vast short-grass plains. Travel now and the Serengeti is lush and green, alive with wildlife and pumping with action. With approximately 8,000 young wildebeest born every day in the peak calving period. Witnessing a newly born calf capable of running in a matter of minutes is one of nature’s most incredible events.

 

Singita Grumeti: Situated adjacent to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, is an integral part of the Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem, the home of the Great Migration.  Few most exclusive Singita properties within the area, offering the guests their own piece of African paradise for rewarding game-viewing experience
