- Birdwatching and seasonal flamingo viewing
- Scenic lodge stays on the escarpment
- A flexible stop between Tarangire and Ngorongoro
When to go
Start planning
Choose the right season for your journey
The park is open year-round. The dry season can make wildlife easier to spot, while the wet season brings greener scenery and abundant birdlife. Lake levels and flamingo numbers change with rainfall.
