Best Time to Visit AndBeyond Grumeti Serengeti Lodge

The dry season, from late June to October, is considered the best time to visit the Serengeti. During this period, animals gather around rivers and waterholes, making wildlife easier to spot. This timeframe also coincides with the Great Migration, offering opportunities to witness river crossings. However, visiting during the wet season (March to May) has its own charm, with lush green landscapes and fewer crowds.

How to Get to AndBeyond Grumeti Serengeti Lodge

You can reach the lodge by scheduled flights from Arusha, Kilimanjaro, or other airstrips in northern Tanzania. Flights land at Grumeti airstrip, which is only a short drive from the lodge. For those who like long drives, it’s possible to travel by road from Arusha through the Serengeti, but expect a full day on the road. The journey itself is scenic, passing through villages, plains, and wildlife areas along the way.
