The best time to witness the 9 Days Serengeti Great Migration in Tanzania in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Manyara typically corresponds to the timing of the Great Migration in the Serengeti, which is from late June to early August. During this period, the herds are often in the northern Serengeti, close to the Mara River, where the dramatic river crossings occur.
In Tarangire, the best time to visit for wildlife viewing is during the dry season, from July to October when animals congregate around the Tarangire River. For Ngorongoro, year round game viewing is excellent due to the crater's unique ecosystem.
Lake Manyara also offers good wildlife viewing year-round, but the dry season from July to October is ideal for spotting large mammals.
The 9 Days Serengeti Great Migration in Tanzania costs between $4,500 and $6,000 per person. Accommodation after the 9 Days Serengeti Migration Safari can be arranged for an additional cost.
