Why this trip
The wildebeest migration sets the rhythm, not the calendar. In the Serengeti huge herds move across the plain, and anyone who wants to experience the animals at daybreak gets up early and sits for hours in the vehicle. Physically that demands less fitness than patience, concentration and good back posture on bumpy tracks. Dust protection for the camera, a cap and layers for cool mornings belong in the rucksack.
Serengeti National Park itself is a nature reserve with lions, elephants and rhinoceroses. Around Seronera a visit to the Visitor's Centre is worthwhile, to place routes and animal movements in context. At the Retima Hippo Pool you observe hippos from a safe distance. As accommodation your trip file names, among others, the Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp and the Serengeti Luxury Retreat.
The best time to travel is July to October. Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Arusha lie nearby as neighbours and can be linked into a round trip. The journey takes about 9 to 11 hours, usually with a change, and a visa is required, which you should check beforehand. You clarify the equipment for dust and early cold in the video call.
