Frequently Asked Questions - 6 Days Tanzania Safari
1. What is the best time of year to book a 6-day Tanzania safari for the Great Wildebeest Migration?
The best time to book this 6-Day Tanzania Safari for the Great Wildebeest Migration depends on where the herds are in the Serengeti:
-
July to September – Northern Serengeti
This is the prime time to witness the dramatic Mara River crossings near Kogatende and Bologonja. It is the most sought-after period for travellers flying from Arusha, Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Dubai, Europe, and the USA, specifically for migration sightings.
-
December to March – Southern Serengeti (Ndutu Area)
This is the calving season, when thousands of wildebeest give birth. Predator action is exceptionally high. Very popular with wildlife photographers and travellers entering via Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). -
May to June – Western Corridor (Grumeti Region)
Herds move through the Serengeti’s riverine areas: rich wildlife scenes and fewer crowds.
Recommendation:
If your priority is the Great Migration during a 6-day Northern Circuit safari, aim for July–September or January–March, and secure bookings 6–12 months in advance due to limited Serengeti lodge availability.
2. How many days do I need in Serengeti National Park during a 6-day Tanzania safari?
On a 6-day Tanzania safari, spending 2 to 3 days in Serengeti National Park offers the perfect balance. The Serengeti is vast—almost the size of Belgium—and travelling from Arusha takes several hours, so staying multiple nights is essential.
Typical breakdown:
-
Day 3: Enter Serengeti via Naabi Hill Gate, game drives en route to the lodge
-
Day 4: Full-day game drive in Central, Northern, or Southern Serengeti
-
Optional Day 5 Extension: If following the migration or visiting remote areas
With 2–3 days in Serengeti, travellers coming from Arusha, Moshi, Zanzibar (fly-in), or Dar es Salaam get enough time to explore major wildlife zones and track big cats, migration herds, hyenas, and large elephant families.
