4 Days Serengeti Migration Safari in April

April falls during the long rainy season in Tanzania. You can expect heavy but often short showers in the afternoons which clear the air and refresh the plains. The temperatures are quite pleasant and the scenery is at its greenest during this time.

We use heavy duty 4x4 Land Cruisers that are specifically equipped for muddy conditions. Our professional drivers are experts at navigating the Serengeti tracks even during the rainy season. You can feel safe knowing the vehicles are well maintained for this type of terrain.

During April, the herds are typically moving from the southern plains toward the central and western corridor. While they may not be in the far north yet, you will still see large concentrations of wildlife. Your guide will track their exact movement to ensure you see the most active areas.

This is one of the best times for birding because many migratory species are still present in the park. The lush vegetation also encourages resident birds to display their vibrant breeding plumage. You will have the chance to see hundreds of species in just a few days.

The main advantage is the lack of crowds and the lower prices for luxury accommodations. You get a much more private experience with the animals and the landscape is incredibly beautiful for photography. It is the perfect time for those seeking peace and exclusivity.

You should bring a high quality waterproof jacket and comfortable waterproof shoes. It is also important to pack warm layers for the cool mornings and insect repellent. Neutral colored clothing remains the best choice for blending into the environment.

Mosquitoes are more active when there is standing water, so it is vital to take precautions. Most lodges provide mosquito nets and repellent, but you should also carry your own. Wearing long sleeves and trousers in the evenings helps significantly

Yes, we can easily add a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater or Lake Manyara if you have more time. These parks are also stunningly beautiful during the green season. Talk to our consultants to create a tailored itinerary that fits your schedule.

We have years of experience handling logistics during the rainy season to ensure a smooth trip. Our guides know the best tracks to use when certain areas become too wet. We prioritize your comfort and safety while providing an authentic bush experience.

All your meals are provided from lunch on the first day to lunch on the last day. You will enjoy fresh, hot dinners at the lodge and high quality picnic lunches in the park. We can also accommodate any dietary restrictions if you notify us in advance.
