The Serengeti is a park in Africa known for its vast plains and woodlands, as well as its abundant wildlife and unique landscape. It is home to large populations of wild animals and is renowned for its annual wildebeest migration of over one million animals.
Serengeti National Park experiences a subtropical climate, with two distinct seasons: a dry season from June to October and a wet season from November to May. During the dry season, temperatures are warm and comfortable, with highs averaging around 28°C (82°F) and lows dropping to around 15°C (59°F) at night. The wet season is characterized by periodic heavy rainfall, which can cause flooding in some areas of the park. Temperatures during this season remain similar to those of the dry season, but the humidity is higher, which can make it feel hotter. Regardless of the season, it’s important to bring layers of clothing to Serengeti National Park, as temperatures can vary widely between day and night.
