From December to early March, the Serengeti sheds its harsh dry-season coat and reveals its lushest self.
Gone is the dust, replaced by a time of extraordinary richness: warm rains bring carpets of wildflowers, newborn wildlife wobbles on unsteady legs, and predators stalk on easy prey. This is when the natural rhythm reveals itself to those wise enough to listen.
The rain-kissed landscapes are alive with drama - dramatic skies, thrilling predator encounters, and the awe-inspiring sight of newborn life taking its first steps. This unparalleled safari experience promises unforgettable memories, far from the usual tourist trail.
Yet, the real jewel in the crown lies in the far north of the park. Visit Lamai, our eco-lodge hidden on a prime kopje position overlooking the vast plains towards the Masai Mara.
