August is an exciting time as the wildebeest migration is prevalent, and wildlife viewing is generally at its best.
The weather is warm and sunny, allowing for many activities to fill your day.
Packing warm clothes for your trip is vital because while the weather is warm and sunny, early mornings and evenings can get chilly.
You can visit the Ngorongoro National Park, which houses the black rhino as the star animal, with other attractions such as lions, spotted hyenas, and leopards.
