When is the best time to visit Nyani Public Campsite to maximize our chances of seeing the Great Migration in Serengeti?
The best time to visit Nyani Public Campsite for Great Migration viewing depends on the migration's location, typically from June to October when herds are in the Western Corridor or Northern Serengeti. However, the dry season (June-October) generally offers excellent wildlife viewing throughout Serengeti due to sparser vegetation and animals congregating around water sources.
