The well-known event, the “wildebeest migration,” also takes place in November when the dry season ends and the rainy season begins. During this time, raincoats and jackets are recommended, along with gum boots to help travelers avoid getting muddy.
At this time of year, the herds move to the southern short-grass plains of Serengeti National Park with their young ones.
It is fascinating to watch how these animals split into different groups. The first group settles in Central Serengeti, while the second group moves to either Kogatende or the Moru area.
Tourists should focus on these places because, by mid-November, migration sightings become less common.
It’s a good idea to combine your safari with visits to other places, such as the Ngorongoro Crater, where the first human remains and fossils are believed to have been found. Tarangire National Park is also a great place to visit, with animals like lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, buffaloes, snakes, lizards, rhinos, gazelles, monkeys, and more.
Accommodation options in the area include Tarangire Tortilis Camp, Acacia Tarangire Luxury Camp, Oliver’s Camp, Lemala Mpingo Ridge, Elewana Tarangire Treetops, Tarangire Simba Lodge, Maralodge Tented Lodge, and many others. Other safari options include visiting beaches and Lake Natron National Park, where activities like fishing, camping, and game drives are available.
There are also many hotels that welcome tourists with well-equipped facilities, including bathrooms, private balconies, spacious parking, gardens, swimming pools, restaurants, minibars, and campfire areas.

There are many activities to enjoy, such as visiting local people known as the Maasai, who are famous for their traditional way of life, wearing simple clothing, having piercings, and living in grass-thatched houses covered with mud.
Many tourists enjoy meeting them and taking photos of their unique culture. Bird-watching is also popular across Serengeti National Park, along with camping and other activities.
