Is Serengeti good in October?

The park experiences periodic light showers from late October to November, making October the best time to explore this park. Because it is neither dry nor considerably wetter, the animals are found closer to the tracking tracks. June to September are the coolest and sunniest months of the year.

Serengeti is a huge national park so we would recommend minimum four days in order to properly explore it and find the wildlife. Being so large, you do need to spend time driving around looking for the Big Five, which takes time. Plus in four days you'll experience different weather and a variety of safari experiences.

We recommend spending as many days in the Serengeti as possible. While there are many different accommodation options, the extra cost of staying for longer will be well worth it. Additionally, make sure to come during the dry season to spot more animals, and be mindful of your travel dates.
