Serengeti: Home to the great migration.

A little bit about Serengeti National Park

Chances are that you have dreamt of Africa, and when you did, you probably dreamt about the Serengeti. Countless wildlife movies have been recorded in the Serengeti, and with good reason: this is the home of the Great Migration and may very well be one of the last true natural wonders on planet earth.

Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife: over 2 million ungulates, 4000 lions, 1000 leopard, 550 cheetahs and some 500 bird species inhabit an area close to 15,000 square kilometers in size. Join us on a safari and explore the endless Serengeti plains dotted with trees and kopjes from which majestic lions control their kingdom; gaze upon the Great Migration in awe or find an elusive leopard in a riverine forest. Or perhaps see everything from a bird’s-eye view and soar over the plains at sunrise during a hot air balloon safari. Accommodation options come in every price range - the sound of lions roaring at night is complimentary.

Serengeti is incredible. We went here during the rain season but were very lucky with the weather. We saw so many animals and beautiful landscapes.

We started seeing huge herds of zebra and wildebeest as soon as we entered the park, and finally spotted a leopard, completing the Big 5 after more than a week visiting other parks in Kenya and Tanzania.

Be careful, after watching this video you can be sure that you want to travel to Tanzania. Today.

The Serengeti is an incredible experience. There is no better place in the world for spotting lions. You don't even have to do anything to see them!

The diversity of the landscape and the sheer number of migratory animals make this region a must-see. Beware, however, of the great number of visitors during high season.

Had two amazing days in the Serengeti, we saw a myriad of animals including two Leopards and 7 Cheetahs. We did not set out to see the big 5 but saw 4 of them in Serengeti.

The Serengeti

Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti is the ultimate African safari destination. It is one of the most famous game-viewing parks in Africa and is quite possibly the location of the best wildlife experience in the world. The Serengeti is located in Northern Tanzania forming part of the renowned northern circuit. With endless grass plains stretching for as far as the eye can see only dotted with the odd acacia tree, this national park is the Africa we all envision.

The Serengeti has become synonymous with African Safaris, often filling heads with images of golden sunsets over the savannah, or heavy hoofs rising clouds of orange dust, lions stalking in the wake. This is easily the most famous National Park in Tanzania and offers unparalleled safari experiences, including the biggest spectacle on earth, The Great Migration.

With over 2 million animals forming the great migration each year, the stomping grounds team with the highest concentration of predators in Africa. The abundance of game here is phenomenal and the park never fails to exceed visitors’ imagination year on year. With no fences and limited interruption or interaction with humans, the Big Five are easily spotted within their authentic environment, with huge herds of zebra and wildebeest following ancient migration patterns.

Mainly consisting of flat rolling grasslands, interspersed with rocky outcrops (kopjes) which act like magnets for the wildlife, each area has its resident animals, as well as those that migrate through.

Quick Facts:

• What's in the name: Serengeti comes from the Maasai language meaning 'endless plains'.
• Did you know: the wildebeest and zebra migration takes place annually and is the world's largest land based migration.
• Wildlife spotting opportunities: may be able to see the elusive black maned lions, leopards, rhino and wild dogs.
• Unique for: the ecosystem is the oldest and most complex in the world.

Areas of the Serengeti:

Seronera & Moru Kopjes

The Seronera is often considered classic Serengeti due to the thrilling variety of wildlife throughout the year, particularly between December and May – this is when the rains bring the migratory herds of wildebeest and zebra in one of Africa’s most spectacular sights. Lions resting on the kopjes, eland antelope and flocks of ostrich are all commonly sighted on the vast open plains, and fewer trees means leopard sightings are relatively easier in the sausage trees that dot the river banks. The surreal rock formations of the Moru Kopjes are the setting for the strategically positioned and high-quality tented Dunia Camp.

Southern Plains

Characterised by short-grass plains that extend south into the northern section of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, this area teems with game between December and April when the wildebeest arrive in throngs looking for the first phosphorus-rich green grass after the rains. The rest of the year offers few sightings, aside from gazelle that can remain in the area and attract cheetah. The wildebeest also calve here in a short period early to mid-February, which inevitably attracts predators like lion, hyena and cheetah. Ndutu Safari Lodge straddles the boundary of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and is a brilliant spot for the migration, where wildlife frequently arrives at your door!

Lobo & Northern Serengeti

The gentle rolling plains of Lobo and Northern Serengeti are popular areas between September and October, when the migrating herds straddle the border of the Kenyan Masaai Mara and the herds frantically crossing the Mara River provide some of the most dramatic scenes of the migration, the frantic wading of wildebeest and zebra, the snapping jaws of crocodiles and hungry eyes of vultures, circling ahead. Into November, the wildebeest continue to move south through Lobo targeting the fresh green shoots of the plains of the Serengeti. Set amidst the rocky outcrops, the spacious tents of Migration Camp are perfectly positioned for migration viewing.

The Western Corridor

This area almost reaches Lake Victoria, a much narrower track of the Serengeti, dominated by the Grumeti and Mbalageti Rivers. Less visited, it nonetheless offers prime migration viewing between May and July, particularly with the crossing of the Grumeti River, which sees giant opportunistic crocodiles gorge on the more vulnerable wildebeest. The luxury tented camp of Grumeti River Camp blends with its natural surroundings as well as is excellently placed for the migration.

Of course, a visit to the Serengeti National Park wouldn’t be complete without a highly rewarding game drive across the renowned Big Five habitat. This is the highlight safari activity within the park and can be offered as a day game drive, night game drive and even a full day game drive. Experience the wilderness of the Serengeti from the safety of a vehicle and spot a full plethora of wildlife including lion, cheetah, hyenas, leopards, buffalo, elephants, zebra, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelle, and much more.

Bird watching is very popular within the Serengeti Park, home to over 500 fascinating bird species including many migratory birds. Fischer’s lovebird, southern ground hornbill, Silverbird, grey-backed fiscal, yellow-throated sand grouse, black-headed gonolek, and many more.

The Serengeti National Park is dotted with giant rock formations known as the Kopjes. These huge weathered outcrops are found mostly in the central plains of the Serengeti and act like islands within the ocean of African grasses. Here the rocks provide shade and shelter for many animals throughout the park and provide a great vantage point to spot wildlife such as cheetahs, lions, and leopards which may be difficult to spot on a level with the tall grasses. With various kopjes visible throughout the park, the Moru kopjes are the most visited due to the wealth of animals which can be spotted from these spaces. Even more interesting, these rock formations contain paintings from Maasai cattle herders. One rock, in particular, is nicknamed Gongo Rock as it was believed to be an ancient musical instrument.

The Oldupai Gorge is one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world and is located within the vast Serengeti National Park. A steep-sided riverine gorge measuring about 30 miles long, the gorge is a convenient stopover whilst on safari in the park and Ngorongoro conservation area, the gorge is famous for the array of human fossils and ancient tools dating back over 2 million years ago. Alongside the site, there is also a small Oldupai museum founded by Mark Leakey containing information and artefacts relating to Leakey’s discoveries including the amazing Laetoli footprints.

One of the perfect ways to tour the magnificent Serengeti Park is to enjoy a thrilling hot air balloon safari experience offering an amazing bird’s eye view of the park. Here you can see stunning views over the spanning plains as well as stunning sunrise scenes in the early African morning.

The Maasai local people are the main inhabitants of the area covered by the Serengeti ecosystem. Here visitors are offered the opportunity to visit the Masaai village to earn more about the customs, traditions, and lifestyles of the Maasai. Tourists are often fascinated by the traditional bomas created using sticks, mud and cow manure and the wide range of crafts available as well for purchase. The opportunity to interact with the Maasai elders is worth the trip and you will learn the ways of life of the Maasai including livestock rearing, dress code, marriage, and boma construction.

The complete guide for your Serengeti safari in Tanzania

Without a doubt, Serengeti National Park is the best place to visit for a safari in Tanzania . This UNESCO World Heritage Site is unique for many reasons, but especially because of the Great Migration , the incredible array of wildlife including the Big Five , and the truly wonderful landscapes. Find everything you need to know for a safari in Serengeti, Tanzania.

Why is Serengeti National Park famous?

Serengeti National Park is a world-renowned destination for wildlife safaris, famous for its vast grasslands and savannahs, which are home to a spectacular array of wildlife. The park's ecosystem supports one of the largest remaining populations of wildlife in Africa , and is also an important conservation area, with ongoing efforts to protect its wildlife and their habitats.

In 1981, the Serengeti National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its exceptional natural beauty and ecological significance, and for its role in supporting one of the world's largest remaining wildlife populations, including the annual wildebeest migration.

Visitors come from all over the world to experience the park's incredible wildlife, stunning landscapes, and unique cultural and historical heritage. The park's popularity also helps to support the local economy and promote conservation efforts in the region.

The beauty of the Serengeti’s Landscape

The Serengeti National Park has a diverse landscape that includes vast grasslands, savannahs, woodlands, and riverine forests.

The park's grasslands and savannahs are the dominant landscape, covering approximately 80% of the park's area. The grasslands are characterized by short-grass plains in the south and long-grass plains in the north, and they support large herds of herbivores, including wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, which in turn attract predators such as lions , leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas. The woodlands and riverine forests are found along the park's river courses and in areas of higher rainfall.

The soils of the Serengeti consist of volcanic rock and ash. For that reason, you will find ancient crystalline rocks in the Serengeti National Park, which are also called "kopjes". Some of them contain African rock paintings. They harbor and are popular resting spots for big cats because they provide shade and drinking water. Can you spot the pride of lions in the image below?

How do you get to the Serengeti?

The nearest city and the city most Serengeti safari tours begin from, is Arusha. The distance between Arusha and Serengeti National Park is approximately 320 kilometers (200 miles) and takes about 7 to 8 hours by car, depending on traffic and road conditions. Alternatively, you can also take a flight from Arusha to one of the Serengeti airstrips . These flights take around 1 to 2 hours depending on the flight route and airline. By far the most popular way to get to Serengeti is by road. You can always choose to fly back from Serengeti to either Arusha Airport, Kilimanjaro Airport, or Dar es Salaam.

Serengeti safari by road from Arusha

Arusha is located in northern Tanzania and is a common starting point for visitors embarking on a safari to the Serengeti National Park. There are many different tour operators and packages available for a Serengeti safari from Arusha , so visitors can choose an itinerary that suits their interests and preferences. Some tours may include game drives , guided walks, and visits to local Maasai villages or conservation projects.

The most popular safari packages in Northern Tanzania include Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park, for example, these 5-day Tanzania safari tours that include the highlights of the Northern Tanzania Safari Circuit or this 7 to 10-day Tanzania safari including Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, Lake Natron, and Lake Manyara.

Booking a safari tour package can be a convenient option since everything is taken care of, including transportation, accommodation , meals, and activities. This means you don't have to worry about logistics and can focus on enjoying your safari experience. It can often be more cost-effective than planning your own safari plus these safari tours are usually operated by experienced guides.

Many safari tour operators offer customized packages that can be tailored to your interests and preferences. This means you can choose the parks, activities, and accommodations that best suit your needs and budget.

Serengeti by plane

There are several options for traveling to the Serengeti National Park by plane. The main airport that serves the park is the Seronera Airstrip , which is located in the central part of the park.

You can fly to the Seronera Airstrip from Arusha, Kilimanjaro International Airport, Dar es Salaam, or Zanzibar . Several airlines operate flights to the Seronera Airstrip, including Coastal Aviation and Auric Air. If you are visiting other parks in Tanzania, such as the Ngorongoro Crater or Tarangire National Park, you can also fly to the Serengeti National Park via a connecting flight. Many lodges and camps inside Serengeti Park offer transfer services to and from the airstrip.

In addition to the Seronera Airstrip, there are several other airports in the Serengeti region that you may be able to use to access the park. These include:

• Grumeti Airstrip : located in the western part of the Serengeti National Park, near the Grumeti River. It is primarily used by lodges and camps in the western corridor of the park.
• Kleins Airstrip : located in the northern part of the Serengeti National Park, near the border with Kenya. It is primarily used by lodges and camps in the northern part of the park, such as Klein's Camp.
• Kogatende Airstrip : located in the northern part of the Serengeti National Park, near the Mara River. It is primarily used by lodges and camps in the northern part of the park, such as Sayari Camp and Lamai Serengeti.

It's important to note that not all lodges and camps in the Serengeti have their own airstrips , and some may require ground transfers from nearby airstrips. It's best to check with your lodge or tour operator to determine which airport is most convenient for your specific itinerary.

Private transfer by car (taxi)

There are several transport services in Tanzania that offer private taxis, shuttles, and bus services to the Serengeti National Park. Most transportation companies are located in Arusha. Serengeti National Park is large, so the costs depend on where you want to go (total distance). Note that private transfers to Serengeti are often expensive as the cost of the return trip also needs to be covered. Additionally, the driver also needs to pay entrance fees if you want to be taken to a lodge inside the park.

Many tourists choose to combine Serengeti National Park with other parks that are located near Serengeti, such as Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, or Tarangire National Park.

I highly recommend combining a Serengeti safari with other National Parks and booking your customized safari package through a tour operator, for example via SafariBookings.com .

Public transport

Determined to explore Serengeti on a budget? Public transport is the cheapest way to travel in Tanzania. Large buses and ‘daladalas’, which are small public transport buses, crisscross the country and link the major towns. Longer routes even link Dar es Salaam with Nairobi and Mombasa in Kenya. Public transport is quite efficient between big cities, but it gets slower, less comfortable, and more challenging when you intend to reach smaller towns. To cover short distances, tuk-tuks and boda-bodas can be used.

In Tanzania’s National Parks, there's no public transport, so you cannot access Serengeti National Park without a private vehicle. This means you can only use public transport for the part of your trip which is out of the park, but this will be an adventure.

Self-drive in the Serengeti

Self-driving in Serengeti National Park is allowed, however, it is important to keep in mind that careful planning is necessary when driving through the park by yourself. A 4x4 vehicle is required to be able to access all roads throughout the year, and it is important to be familiar with the park's rules and regulations. It is also recommended to have a good understanding of the park's geography and to carry a detailed map. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the risks and challenges of driving in the park, such as navigating rough terrain and encountering wildlife on the roads. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use a reputable local tour operator or guide to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience in Serengeti National Park.

What is the best time for a safari in Serengeti, Tanzania?

The best time for a safari in Serengeti  depends on what you want to see and experience. The annual Great Migration is one of the main attractions in Serengeti, and it usually takes place from November to August. The best time to witness the wildebeest migration is from December to July when the herds of zebras and gnus are in southern and central Serengeti. However, visiting the Serengeti in December can be tricky due to the unpredictable weather. From July to October the Great Migration will take place in the northern part of Serengeti and the Masai Mara in Kenya.

The best time for a safari in Serengeti, Tanzania is also influenced by the weather. The dry season, from June to October, is considered the best time to visit as it offers clear skies, lower humidity, and good visibility for wildlife viewing. The rainy season, from November to May, is when the park is lush and green, with many newborn animals and migratory birds, but it can also make the roads difficult to navigate.

If you're interested in seeing big cats, such as lions and leopards, the dry season from June to October is the best time to visit. During this time, the vegetation is sparse, making it easier to spot these elusive predators.

If I had to pick a favorite time to visit, I would choose October as the best month to visit Serengeti . It’s when the dry season ends and the wildlife gathers around water sources, making it easier to spot them. It's also the time when the wildebeest migration is in full swing, the weather is mild, and there is little rain, making it a comfortable and less crowded period to visit. You gotta love these shoulder seasons!

How safe is Serengeti?

Visiting Serengeti National Park is safe , but it's important to respect the animals and park rules and regulations, including the prohibition of littering and feeding animals, and follow the advice of your safari guide , who is a trained and experienced professional. The reserve is protected by certified park rangers , ensuring your safety, so inside Serengeti National Park there is no need to worry about safety.

How many days do you need in Serengeti?

The length of your visit depends on your preferences and schedule, but I would recommend spending at least three to four days in Serengeti to fully experience its beauty and wildlife because Serengeti has a lot to offer. The more time you have, the better.

Visiting Serengeti National Park for three days should give you enough time to explore the park, spotting various animal species, and experience the different landscapes. If you have a specific interest in seeing the Great Migration or want to go on longer game drives, a 4-5 day visit is more ideal.

Is Serengeti expensive?

Serengeti National Park can be expensive, but the cost of visiting the park depends on a few factors, such as the type of accommodation, the time of year you visit, and the activities you plan to do.

Accommodation in Serengeti ranges from budget camping sites to luxury lodges, so the cost of your stay will depend on your preferences and budget. Generally, the more luxurious the accommodation, the higher the cost.

The costs of safari activities in Serengeti , such as game drives, hot air balloon safaris , and guided walks, can also vary depending on the operator you choose and the duration of the activity.

Furthermore, the Serengeti park entrance fees for foreign visitors are relatively high, with a daily fee of $70 per person per day for adults and $20 for children (as of 2023). These fees are subject to change, and there may be additional fees for certain activities.

For instance, this budget 3-day Serengeti safari package starts at $728 per person including park fees, activities, transportation, budget camping, and meals.

Which part of Serengeti is best?

Serengeti National Park is divided into several different regions, each with its own distinct features and wildlife viewing opportunities, making it hard to say which part of Serengeti is the best.

The Seronera region is the heart of the Park, located in Central Serengeti. It is known for its wide-open savannah landscape and abundant wildlife, including the Hippo Pool full of countless hippos. Simba Kopjes, a group of rocky hills, is a popular area in Seronera, famous for its lion sightings and high density of leopards. However, note that the Seronera Valley is the busiest area of the park.

Northern Serengeti is a more remote and rugged region, home to the Mara River, which is known for its scenic beauty and wildlife, including spectacular river crossings and predators such as lions and crocodiles.

The Western Corridor is located in the western part of Serengeti National Park, with the Grumeti River running through it, attracting various predators and hosting large herds of wildebeest and zebras during the migration season.

Eastern Serengeti is known for its open savannah grasslands and is less visited than the other regions, but still home to a variety of wildlife, including giraffes and elephants.

Ndutu , located in Southern Serengeti and part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, is another popular area to visit. It is famous for its large open plains and is the breeding ground for wildebeest and zebras during the calving seasons in March and April, attracting plenty of predators such as cheetahs and lions. As there are no fences between the parks, the animals are free to roam.

Serengeti Balloon safari

To get the best out of your Serengeti experience, you should definitely book a balloon safari . A Serengeti Balloon Safari is a popular activity and is a unique way to experience the park and see its wildlife from above. The balloon safari takes place early in the morning, just before sunrise. The balloon flies low over the Serengeti's plains and savannahs, providing a panoramic view of the landscape and wildlife below.

During the flight, passengers can expect to see a variety of animals, including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest. The flight typically lasts for about an hour, after which the balloon lands and passengers are treated to a champagne breakfast in the middle of the Serengeti wilderness.

Is Serengeti better than Masai Mara?

Serengeti and Maasai Mara are two incredible safari destinations that share the same ecosystem, wildlife, climate, and types of landscapes, yet they have some distinctions. While both offer an exceptional safari experience, there are some notable differences between them. For instance, Serengeti National Park is larger than the Masai Mara National Reserve and relatively more expensive. The primary reason for the price discrepancy is that tourists typically stay within the Serengeti, where they are required to pay a daily concession fee in addition to the National Park fee (140 USD in total).

Determining whether the Serengeti or the Masai Mara is better is difficult, as both offer unique and memorable safari experiences. However, personally, I love to spend time in the Mara Conservancies, bordering the Masai Mara National Reserve.

Is Serengeti malaria-free?

Serengeti National Park is located in a malaria-endemic region, and there is a risk of contracting malaria while visiting the park. Due to the limited water sources, the high altitude, and the prevalence of short grasslands within the Serengeti National Park, the mosquito population is relatively low, which results in a reduced risk of contracting malaria while visiting the park.

However, it's important to note that even though the park has fewer mosquitoes and lower chances of malaria cases, it doesn't completely eliminate the presence of mosquitoes in the Serengeti. It's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before traveling to a malaria-endemic area and to take preventive measures against malaria, such as wearing long-sleeved clothing and pants, using insect repellent, and sleeping under a mosquito net.

Is Serengeti fenced?

Serengeti National Park is not entirely fenced. The park is part of a larger ecosystem that includes several wildlife reserves and protected areas, and wildlife can move freely between these areas. This is especially true during the annual wildebeest migration, where millions of animals move across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. However, there are some smaller fenced-off areas within the park, such as some of the lodges and campsites that have fences for the safety of guests.

How to enter the Serengeti National Reserve?

The Serengeti National Park is primarily accessible by plane or via road transportation. The park has multiple entry gates into Serengeti , including Naabi Hill Gate, Kleins Gate, Fort Ikoma Gate, Ndabaka Gate, and Habdajega Gate.

There are four main entry and exit points into the Serengeti:

• Naabi Hill Gate is the main gate, and the busiest entrance point, located about 45 kilometers from Seronera. The gate is open daily from 06h00 to 18h00.
• Ndabaka Gate is the primary access gate for the Western Corridor area, which is approximately a 1.5-hour drive from Mwanza and 145 kilometers from Seronera. The gate is open daily from 06h00 to 18h00, but the last entry is at 16h00.
• Klein’s Gate is situated in the far northeast of the Serengeti and is open daily from 06h00 to 18h00, with the last entry at 16h00.
• Bologonya Gate is located en route to or from Kenya; do check if the gate is (still) closed as it was closed for a while.

Best places to stay in Serengeti

There are many excellent places to stay in Serengeti , ranging from luxurious lodges to budget-friendly campsites. The best place to stay depends on your preferences, budget, and travel style.

If you're looking for luxury, some of the best lodges include Singita Sasakwa Lodge , Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti , and AndBeyond Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp . These lodges offer top-notch amenities, personalized service, and breathtaking views.

For mid-range options, you might consider places like Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge , Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge , or  Serengeti Explorer Camp . These lodges offer comfortable accommodation, good food, and a range of activities.

If you want to visit Serengeti on a budget , there are several campsites and budget-friendly lodges in and around the park, such as Ikoma Tented Camp , Serengeti Acacia Camp s, and Tanzania Bush Camps . These accommodations offer basic amenities but still provide a great safari experience.

During my last Serengeti trip with the Tanzania Tourism Board, we stayed in the lovely Pamoja Serengeti Luxury Camp , situated at the center of the vast Serengeti National Park, in Seronera. We absolutely loved staying at this intimate privately-owned wilderness camp because of the outstanding staff, delicious buffet, lovely views from our luxury tented suite, and overall exclusivity.

The proximity to wildlife is one of the reasons that makes Pamoja Serengeti Luxury Camp unique. If you're lucky (like us), you will even spot elephants or cheetahs passing by your tents or the lounge area; the ultimate bush feeling!

Is a safari in Serengeti worth it?

A safari in Serengeti is definitely worth it. Serengeti National Park is one of the most famous and spectacular wildlife reserves in the world , renowned for its abundant wildlife, stunning landscapes, and unique cultural experiences. Visitors can witness the Great Wildebeest Migration , which is one of the most incredible wildlife spectacles on earth, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other grazers move across the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grass and water.

Serengeti offers an opportunity to see a diverse range of wildlife including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, and many more. The park also has a rich cultural heritage , with the Maasai people living in and around the park and offering visitors an opportunity to experience their unique way of life.

Whether you go for a luxury family safari, a solo trip, or a customized tour, a Serengeti safari won’t disappoint you.

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania: The Complete Guide

TripSavvy / Felicia Martinez

Things to Do

The great migration, where to stay, accessibility, how to get there, tips for your visit, serengeti national park.

Named for the Maasai word siringet, which translates roughly as “the place where the land runs on forever,” Serengeti National Park is among the oldest game reserves in Tanzania . It’s also one of the most iconic safari destinations in Africa. Located in the north of the country, it partly adjoins the Kenyan border and together with the Masai Mara National Reserve provides the backdrop for the annual Great Migration —considered by many to be the planet’s most impressive natural event. The park covers over 5,700 square miles (14,700 square kilometers), including vast expanses of grassland plains and tangled riverine forest.

For more than 200 years, the Serengeti ecosystem provided fertile grazing land for nomadic Maasai tribes. The first Europeans visited the area in 1892, and thereafter it became a popular haunt for big game hunters. In 1921, the colonial British administration addressed the decline in the Serengeti’s lion population by forming a partial reserve in the area. This was converted into a full reserve eight years later and eventually established as the Serengeti National Park in 1951. The colonial government evicted Maasai living within the park’s borders in 1959, two years before the country gained independence from the British. In 1981, Serengeti National Park was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of its incredible ecological importance. 

Traditionally, the park is divided into three distinct geographic regions. The largest of these is the southern Serengeti plains—an iconic, largely treeless savannah landscape that serves as a breeding ground for the wildebeest and antelope that congregate here from December to May before beginning their migration north. The Western Corridor includes the Grumeti River and its adjacent forests. Visitors flock to this area of the park from May to July when the wildebeest migration passes through, but it’s also a great place to spot water birds and other aquatic species all year round. Finally, the remote northern Serengeti woodlands are the best place to spot elephants and giraffes, and to observe the spectacle of the migration’s Mara River crossings.

A traditional jeep safari is just one of several wildlife viewing experiences offered by lodges in and around the Serengeti. Although night safaris are banned within the park itself, many operators offer after-dark game drives in the private concessions of the greater Serengeti ecosystem. These are the only way to see the region’s fascinating nocturnal wildlife. Other exciting options include walking safaris, horseback safaris, and charter flight safaris. There is even a sunrise hot air balloon safari —a very expensive and exclusive experience that will stay with you long after you return home.

In the unlikely event that you tire of wildlife spotting, you can also take part in a cultural visit to one of the Maasai villages located just outside the park boundaries; or drive south to the archaeological site at Olduvai Gorge . Here, a small museum gives you an insight into the life’s work of Louis and Mary Leakey, whose anthropological discoveries both at Olduvai and nearby Laetoli inform our understanding of human evolution.

Serengeti National Park is home to the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. This includes approximately 2 million wildebeest, 900,000 Thomson's gazelles, and 300,000 zebra. Other antelope species range from the abundant Grant’s gazelle and Coke’s hartebeest to rarer creatures like the dik-dik and the roan antelope. This proliferation of prey animals inevitably results in healthy predator numbers. Indeed, the Serengeti boasts Africa’s largest population of lions and is one of the best places in the world to spot the elusive leopard. Here, it’s also possible to see cheetahs , two species of hyena, and the endangered African wild dog. Smaller felines and nocturnal animals like the aardwolf and ground pangolin come out at night.

It is possible to see all of the Big Five in the Serengeti, although the small reintroduced population of black rhino is exceptionally difficult to spot. The June to October dry season is the best for general game viewing, as the foliage is less dense and animals congregate at the waterholes, making them easier to spot.

Those with a passion for birdwatching will feel right at home in the Serengeti, which boasts no fewer than 500 resident and migratory bird species. Five of these are endemic to Tanzania, including the grey-breasted spurfowl, the Rufous-tailed weaver, and the gorgeously colorful Fischer’s lovebird. Near-endemic specials like the Usambiro barbet and the Hildebrandt’s starling also deserve a place on your Serengeti wish list.

The park provides a refuge for several species of endangered or critically endangered vulture and has the highest ostrich population in Africa. It’s also home to the continent’s largest flying bird, the kori bustard. The November to April rainy season is best for birding because resident birds are in breeding plumage and migrant species arrive at this time from North Africa and Europe.

For many, the Serengeti’s No. 1 attraction is the opportunity to witness the Great Migration. Many safari operators and mobile camps are dedicated to putting you at the heart of the action; whether that’s watching newborn calves take their first steps in the grasslands of the south, or experiencing the drama of a Mara River crossing. To view the migration, you’ll need to time your trip carefully, as the herds’ movements are dependent on the rains and can change from year to year. Regardless of when you travel, a standard game drive gives you a front-row seat to the Serengeti’s incredible biodiversity. 

However, if you want to see the wildebeest migration, the herds gather in the south from December to May, then move into the Western Corridor from May to July. To see the herds crossing the Mara River, you’ll need to be there in July, August, or November.

Serengeti National Park is famous for its five-star camps and lodges that are notoriously expensive. Among the park's options to choose from. Permanent tented camps combine the romance of staying under canvas with the decadence of formal furniture, staff, and gourmet dining, while mobile tented camps follow the migration, making sure that you’re always at the heart of the action.

• Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti : Offering a high caliber of luxury, the Four Seasons offers beautiful suites and villas and is located next to a watering hole that is frequently visited by animals.
• Mbalageti Safari Camp : This highly-rated camp provides 360-degree views of the plains and the Serengeti River and a variety of suites that can accommodate families.
• Kirawira Serena Camp : Inspired by historic hunting camps, this luxury hotel has 25 tented suites and provides five-course lunches and dinners.
• &Beyond Serengeti Under Canvas : This roaming camp follows the Great Migration, operating multiple private campsites in key locations where accommodations have been preassembled.

For those on a tight budget, the only relatively affordable option is the park’s public campsites. Amenities are basic, and you’ll need to be entirely self-sufficient, bringing with you your own food, water, and cooking equipment. You’re likely to share the space with overland tour groups , which can be a pro or a con depending on how much you value peace and quiet. 

Read more about the different accommodation types in the Serengeti .

While the park does not have much in the way of accessible trails, the majority of the safari experience can be done from inside a vehicle. Some, but not all, tour operators can accommodate travelers with disabilities and the same goes for lodges. However, there are not a lot of accessible vehicles and in most cases, wheelchair users will need to be physically lifted into the car. Look for tour agencies like Responsible Travel or GoAfrica that can help make arrangements to accommodate your needs. Other travel agencies like Explore Africa Safaris can also help you find a sign language interpreter or guide.

Those that travel to Serengeti National Park by road will most likely enter through the Naabi Hill Gate in the southeastern section of the park. The gate is a 2.5-hour drive from Ngorongoro Conservation Area and a seven to eight-hour drive from northern Tanzania’s safari capital, Arusha. Some companies will arrange road transfers from Arusha, while others pick you up from one of several airstrips located within the park: Kusini and Ndutu in the south; Seronera in the center; Lobo, Kleins, and Kogatende in the north; and Grumeti or Sasakwa in the Western Corridor. These small airstrips are served by charter flights from Arusha or Kilimanjaro. 

Read more about how to travel between the Masai Mara and the Serengeti .

• If you'll be in the southern part of the park, winter is the best time to see the Great Migration. In the northern and western regions of the park, summer and fall are the best times to go.
• If you plan to travel during the heavy rains of April and May, be aware that some lodges and roads may be closed and mosquitoes are at their worst. 
• A visit to the Serengeti is also a good opportunity to visit the Ngorongoro Crater 41 miles (66 kilometers) away.
• Although it is possible to visit the park and stay overnight in a private campsite independently, the safest option is to travel with an experienced guide.
• Book far in advance if you plan to visit during the Great Migration, as this is the park's busiest time and safari camps are quick to fill up.
• During the game drives, you will spend a lot of time in the sun so make sure to pack sunscreen with a high SPF and a wide-brimmed hat.

Everything You Need To Know Before Going On A Serengeti Safari (With Expert Tips)

There are many misconceptions about going on a Serengeti Safari but, in reality, it's a rewarding and once-in-a-lifetime type of experience.

Africa is the delight of Safari trips. There are numerous national parks and wildlife reserves all over the Sub-Saharan part of the continent. These draw tourists from far and wide from all over the world to see these magnificent animals. The two regional hotspots for game Safaris are in Southern Africa (with South Africa, Botswana, etc.) and East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda - Uganda, and Rwanda are famous for their gorillas trekking).  Tanzania and Kenya are famous for their Serengeti Safaris and were the inspiration for the setting of the Disney classic The Lion King .

For those coming to see the circle of life on the Serengeti Plains and to find one's place with the great and mighty, there are some tips to keep in mind on a safari trip .

Park Entrance Fees

The park entrance fees in much of Africa for non-resident foreigners (aka tourists) are often expensive. This varies widely depending on the park being visited and the country. Park entrance fees can easily be $100.00 per day, so it is important that when booking a Safari that one check to see exactly what is included.

• Park Entrance Fees: They Vary And Can Be Very Expensive

Check which parks are the safari is going to. Not all the parks have the vast herds of animals that one may be expecting to see. One may see a cheap Nairobi National Park Safari for example, but this is just outside and partly surrounded by the sprawling city and its tiny. It is a great way to see animals if staying in Nairobi, but not the Serengeti one is hoping to see after flying all around the world.

Serengeti National Park vs Maasai Mara

The Serengeti and the Serengeti National Park are located in Tanzania. This is a massive area and where one can see the migration and where so many of the nature documentaries are filmed. The Serengeti runs north straight up to the border with Kenya, over the border in Kenya it is known as Maasai Mara National Park and is the northern extension of the Serengeti region (the animals don't care about the border).

Infrastructure and Safety

Regardless of what one may see in the news, Uganda, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, etc. are safe for tourists. Tourists who book a full safari package will feel very safe and will be fully comfortable throughout. Local people in these countries are also very friendly and welcoming. If one sees news headlines about trouble in the Congo, the collapse of the Central African Republic, and school kidnappings of girls in northern Nigeria - then that's Congo, the CAR, and Nigeria and not Kenya, etc. Trouble in Venezuela doesn't make Argentina unsafe, nor did the Cuban Missle Crisis make Florida unsafe.

• Tip: East Africa Is Safe For Tourists
• Tip: Be Prepared To See Numerous Armed Guards In Africa - In The National Parks Park Rangers Can Have Open Battles With Poachers

The infrastructure in Kenya is reasonably developed, especially anything touristic. One can expect great vehicles and stunning lodges in Kenya and Tanzania. In this part of Africa, the main roads are also generally in good condition (another story off the main roads!).

Bring A Sweater And Jacket

This depends on exactly where one goes, but much of Tanzania and Kenya is high in elevation. Nairobi for example is over 1,600 meters or 5,300 feet above sea level and so it can get quite chilly with nighttime temperatures falling to around 10°C or 50°F.

• Tip: When Traveling Even To Equatorial And Tropical Destinations In The World, It Is Always Prudent To Pack A Sweater or Light Jacket

Visas & Yellow Fever Vaccination

Countries in East Africa all have E-visas and Visas on Arrival (Visas on Arrival may have been suspended during Covid - one will need to check the latest). The fee for the tourist visa is normally $50.00 and one normally needs an onward ticket.

• Cost Of Visa: Normally $50.00

In some countries in East Africa like Uganda, yellow fever vaccination is mandatory before entering the country. If one is planning to go to Africa, it is strongly advised to get a yellow fever vaccination.

• Yellow Fever: Proof Of A Yellow Fever Vaccination Is Compulsory For Many African Countries.

Don't Worry About Packing

Don't worry about packing too much. If one forgets to pack things, then there are fully modern shopping malls in the big cities in East Africa. So one can normally buy anything one may have forgotten.

Going on a safari in East Africa is stress-free, hassle-free, and safe. Just one can expect them to be a little pricey - as these Sarafis are one of the countries' greatest sources of revenue and pays for the conservation of the animals.

Africa in Europe

If you're traveling through the safari by car, take the opportunity to feed giraffes or other exotic animals directly through your window.

Echte Bewertungen. Echte Aufenthalte. Echte Meinungen.

So funktionieren Gästebewertungen

Jedes Bewertungsergebnis liegt zwischen 1 und 10. Um die Gesamtbewertung zu erhalten, die Sie sehen, addieren wir alle Bewertungsergebnisse, die wir erhalten haben, und teilen diese Summe durch die Anzahl der Bewertungsergebnisse, die wir erhalten haben. Wir testen aktuell ein gewichtetes Bewertungssystem in Malta und Island (mit Ausnahme von Hotel- und Ferienunterkunftsketten). Für Unterkünfte in diesen Ländern heißt das, je aktueller die Bewertung ist, desto größer ist der Einfluss auf die Berechnung des Gesamtbewertungsergebnisses. Darüber hinaus können Gäste gesonderte „Unterbewertungen“ für wichtige Bereiche abgeben, wie etwa: Lage, Sauberkeit, Mitarbeiter, Komfort, Einrichtungen, Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und kostenloses WLAN. Beachten Sie, dass Gäste ihre Unterbewertungen und Gesamtbewertungen unabhängig voneinander abgeben, sodass es keinen direkten Zusammenhang zwischen diesen Bewertungen gibt.

Sie können eine Unterkunft, die Sie über unsere Plattform gebucht haben, bewerten, wenn Sie dort übernachtet haben oder wenn Sie bei der Unterkunft angereist sind, dort letztendlich aber nicht übernachtet haben. Um eine bereits abgegebene Bewertung zu bearbeiten, wenden Sie sich bitte an unseren Kundenservice.

Wir haben Mitarbeitende und automatisierte Systeme, die darauf spezialisiert sind, gefälschte Bewertungen auf unserer Plattform zu erkennen. Wenn wir solche finden, löschen wir sie und ergreifen gegebenenfalls Maßnahmen gegen die Verantwortlichen.

Jede Person, der etwas Verdächtiges auffällt, kann es jederzeit unserem Kundenservice melden, damit unser Fraud-Team dies untersuchen kann.

Idealerweise veröffentlichen wir jede Bewertung, die wir erhalten, unabhängig davon, ob sie positiv oder negativ ist. Dennoch zeigen wir keine Bewertungen, die (unter anderem) Folgendes beinhalten oder sich darauf beziehen:

• Politisch sensible Kommentare
• Werbeinhalte
• Illegale Handlungen
• Persönliche oder sensible Informationen (wie etwa E-Mail-Adressen, Telefonnummern oder Kreditkarteninformationen)
• Schimpfwörter, sexuelle Bezugnahmen, Hassbotschaften, diskriminierende Kommentare, Drohungen oder Bezugnahmen auf Gewalt
• Spam oder gefälschte Inhalte
• Tierquälerei
• Identitätsfälschung (beispielsweise, wenn der Verfasser behauptet, jemand anderes zu sein)
• Jede Verletzung unserer Bewertungsrichtlinien

Um sicherzustellen, dass Bewertungen relevant sind, akzeptieren wir möglicherweise nur Bewertungen, die innerhalb von drei Monaten nach der Abreise abgegeben werden. Außerdem zeigen wir möglicherweise Bewertungen nicht mehr, wenn sie älter als 36 Monate sind – oder wenn es bei der Unterkunft einen Eigentümerwechsel gab.

Eine Unterkunft kann auf eine Bewertung antworten.

Wenn Ihnen mehrere Bewertungen angezeigt werden, finden Sie die neuesten ganz oben, vorbehaltlich einiger weiterer Faktoren (in welcher Sprache eine Bewertung verfasst wurde, ob es sich nur um eine numerische Bewertung handelt oder auch Kommentare enthalten sind usw.). Wenn Sie möchten, können Sie die Bewertungen sortieren und/oder filtern (nach Jahreszeit, Bewertungsergebnis usw.).

Manchmal zeigen wir externe Bewertungsergebnisse von anderen bekannten Reise-Webseiten an. In solchen Fällen weisen wir darauf hin.

Richtlinien und Standards der Bewertungen

Diese Richtlinien und Standards dienen dazu, die Inhalte auf Booking.com relevant und familienfreundlich zu halten, ohne die Meinungsäußerung einzuschränken. Sie sind unabhängig von der Empfindung des Kommentars anwendbar.

Beiträge sollten einen Reisebezug haben. Die hilfreichsten Beiträge sind detailliert und helfen anderen Reisenden dabei, eine gute Entscheidung zu treffen. Persönliche, politische, ethische oder religiöse Kommentare sollen bitte nicht vorkommen. Werbeinhalte werden gelöscht und Probleme mit dem Service von Booking.com sollten an den Kundenservice weitergeleitet werden.

Beiträge sollten für ein globales Publikum geeignet sein. Obszönität sowie die Andeutung von Obszönität durch eine kreative Schreibweise, egal in welcher Sprache, ist bitte zu unterlassen. Kommentare und Medien mit Verhetzung, diskriminierenden Äußerungen, Drohungen, explizit sexuelle Ausdrücke, Gewalt sowie das Werben von illegalen Aktivitäten sind nicht gestattet.

Alle Inhalte sollten echt und einzigartig für den Gast sein. Bewertungen sind am wertvollsten, wenn sie original und unabhängig sind. Ihr Beitrag sollte auch Ihrer sein. Unterkunftspartner von Booking.com sollten nie im Namen der Gäste Bewertungen erstellen oder Anreize als Gegenleistung für eine Bewertung geben. Jegliche Versuche, das Ranking eines Mitbewerbers durch eine negative Bewertung zu verschlechtern werden nicht toleriert.

Respektieren Sie die Privatsphäre von anderen. Booking.com bemüht sich, E-Mail-Adressen, Telefonnummern, Webseitenadressen, Konten von sozialen Netzwerken sowie ähnliche Details zu verdecken.

Die Meinungen in den Beiträgen sind von Kunden und Unterkünften von Booking.com und nicht von Booking.com. Booking.com übernimmt keine Verantwortung oder Haftung für die Bewertungen oder Antworten.

Da immer 2 „Bungalows“ immer direkt zusammen sind, ist es sehr hellhörig. Selbst wenn man versucht leise zu sein, man versteht jedes Wort vom Nachbarn. Außerdem waren wir direkt an einem kleinen See und ich hätte mich über Fliegengitter an den Fenstern gefreut.

Es war alles super sauber und das Personal war wirklich nett, alle waren hilfsbereit.

Dreiviertel Stunde anstehen für den Check in....Hatten 17:50 Uhr unseren Zimmerschlüssel und mussten uns dann im Anschluss erneut hinten anstellen, da eine Buchung einer VIP safari erst ab 18 Uhr möglich ist.....heißt die ersten 2 Stunden im Park verbringt man mit warten in der Schlange....wenn man Pech hat ist man dann dran und die gewünschte Tour wird am Folgetag nicht angeboten. Wir haben an der big 5 express Tour teilgenommen und können die Tour, sowie den guide Chris sehr empfehlen!

Die Lage unserer Dschungel lodge war super, waren direkt am Affengehege...Dichter an den Tieren ging es fast nicht :) die Lodge ist klein, aber für zwei Personen und einen Kurzurlaub ausreichend. War positiv über den Wasserkocher und Kühlschrank überrascht. Wlan ist wohl grundsätzlich kostenfrei vorhanden, konnte von uns jedoch nicht getestet werden, da der Empfang nicht bis in die lodge reichte.

Vom Abendessen waren wir nicht sehr begeistert. Es gab wenig Auswahl, für Vegetarier nur eine Kleinigkeit, Geschmack war ok, aber zu überteuerten Preisen. Wenn man am Tisch ankam, war das Essen leider schon kalt.

Das Zimmer, der Park und die Attraktionen waren ganz besonders schön. Auch das Frühstück hat uns gut gefallen.

Der Fernseher ging nicht und wir wurden nur mit Ausreden abgespeist das es der erste Tag nach der Winterpause ist und es nicht zu ändern ist. Fand ich echt schade, gab auch keine Entschädigung dafür! 😪

Tolle Loge, recht witzig aber für eine Nacht ok bzw ausreichend !

Leider war unsere Lodge nicht sauber überall Spinnengewebe hingen von der Decke und waren in den Ecken. Die Nachtlampen waren alle staubig verklebt.

Sehr höfliche Mitarbeiter, der Park war sehr gut und für jede Altergruppe ist was dabei. Das Zimmer Dschungel Lodges was genau so wie wir es uns vorgestellt haben klein, gemütlich. Die gesamte Atmosphäre des Serengeti Parks war super. Das Frühstück war ausgewogen und Lecker.

Das Bad ist etwas klein, aber für ein paar Tage in Ordnung. Das Frühstück könnte qualitativ etwas besser sein. Nix besonderes

Sehr gemütliche kleine Lodges. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Vor allem das Bett war sehr gemütlich. Es gab Tees und Kaffee zum Zubereiten. Der Außenbereich war sehr schön mit LED-Fackeln belechtet.

Die Buchungs-Infos von Booking.com waren verwirrend oder (bewusst) nicht klar formuliert. Evtl. dann lieber direkt beim Serengeti-Park online buchen ODER eine Online-Alternative. ;-) Der Parkeintritt ist NICHT inklusive gewesen!!! Also aufpassen: ggf. kommen für einen Tag zu den Übernachtungskosten nochmal EUR 93 oben drauf (bei bereits Anrechnung eines Kinder-Freikarten-Aktions-Coupons. = EUR 270 für zwei Nächte, zzgl. EUR 93 für EINEN Tag Parkeintritt (zwei Erwachsene, ein Kind von 4 J.)

Super Frühstück mit genialer Auswahl! Ausreichend Platz und ideales Essenszeitfenster.

• • Tongasoa-Lodge

Wir haben den Eintrittspreis bei unserer Ankunft um 13.30 Uhr für das Nachmittagsticket gelöst. Als wir in unsere Lodge wollten, mussten wir pro Person noch 10 Euro nachzahlen, weil wir das komplette tagesticket kaufen mussten. Das hätte man uns beim Einlass sagen müssen. Dann hätten wir den Park besser nutzen können. Ferner keine Möglichkeit VIP Touren zu bekommen. Sehr schlecht organisiert.

Der Park ist sauber und das Personal sehr nett. Es ist aber schlecht organisiert. Informationen werde sehr schlecht transportiert.

Die Unterkunft hat ein Kühlschrank nur kein Herd selbst Verpflegung ging nicht. Park Eintritt muss separat gezahlt werden so wie das Abendessen auch. Was den Preis für eine Nacht sehr hoch treibt. Getränke abends müssen immer bezahlt werden beim Abendessen. Sonst ist es fürs Essen ein einmaliger Preis.

Das Person super freundlich . Das einchecken ohne Probleme. Wir hatten einen schönen Tag.

Die Beleuchtung war nicht ausreichend, speziell im Badezimmer. Keine Möglichkeit eine kleine Mahlzeit zuzubereiten

Die Lage war top. Und die Unterkunft an sich sehr gut bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten, immer wieder gerne

Nette Ranger und nettes Personal, immer ein Lachen im Gesicht. Toller Umgang mit Kindern. Tolle Unterkunft.

Es ist alles unverhältnismäßig teuer!!! 1 Übernachtung in der günstigsten Unterkunft mit zwei Kids inkl Parkeintritt und Frühstück und einer safaribus tour hat uns 315€ gekostet, Abendessen inkl Getränke waren wir nochmal bei 62€ und damit ist man ja noch nicht am Ende… also unter 400 euro geht da nicht viel und das ist dafür schon extrem viel! Leider zählte meine Tochter mit 13 schon als Erwachsen.

Super schöner Park der eine Entspannte Stimmung verbreitet. Mega freundliches Personal! Wir durften am Anreisetag noch von 16:00-18:00 den Freizeitpark frei nutzen.

Serengeti Safari - Compare 2,694 Tours

The Serengeti is one of Africa’s finest safari destinations. Extending over 14,763km²/5,700mi² of undulating plains and isolated koppies (rocky hills), the Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest, largest and most famous national park. The Serengeti is renowned for hosting an annual migration comprising at least 2 million wildebeest, plains zebra and gazelle – the greatest spectacle of its type in Africa – but the immense plains are also home to unusually dense populations of lion, leopard, cheetah and other predators, while being possessed of a liberating sense of space best experienced on an early-morning balloon safari. A Serengeti safari trip will be a highlight of a visit to Tanzania.

7 Questions About Serengeti Safaris

Answered by

Philip briggs.

When is the best time to see the great migration?

“The migration through the Serengeti follows a reasonably predictable annual cycle, but there is also variation from one year to the next, dependent mainly on rainfall. If you are looking to see a horizonless column of braying wildebeest on the move, aim for the Western Corridor around June and July, when the migration heads towards the south bank of the Grumeti River before crossing it. More reliable for river crossings is the far north of the park around September, when massive herds make the treacherous crossing from one side of the Mara River to the other with logic-defying regularity. Over December to April, the wildebeest disperse into the southeast Serengeti, which is the most accessible part of the park from Arusha, but might still be seen in herds that stretch from one horizon to the other. These southeastern plains are the main wildebeest calving grounds, with peak calving season usually centered on January and February, a phenomenon that attracts high predator concentrations.”

What opportunities are there to meet local Maasai people?

“If your Serengeti holiday is restricted to the park itself, there will be no opportunities to meet Maasai people. This is because the Serengeti is a national park and people aren’t allowed to live there. That said, practically all drive-in Serengeti safaris pass through Maasai country en route from Arusha, while fly-in Serengeti safari packages usually incorporate a stop at Ngorongoro Conservation Area. In both cases, this offers safari-goers the opportunity to incorporate a visit to a Masaai manyatta (group of huts within an enclosure) into their Serengeti experience.”

How can I avoid the crowds on a Serengeti safari?

“The Serengeti is a vast reserve and it doesn’t usually experience the kind of crowding you get in the far smaller Masai Mara National Reserve across the border in Kenya. The one exception to this is the area around the park headquarters at Seronera, where any worthwhile sighting tends to attract a gaggle of safari vehicles responding to radio calls from other driver-guides. In addition, safari vehicles tend to congregate in whichever sector of the park is currently hosting the migration. The best way to avoid this is to limit the time you spend in the vicinity of Seronera, and to split your Serengeti safari package between two areas: one set in the heart of the migration, and the other somewhere unseasonal (for instance the far north between November and June, or the Western Corridor between August and October). It is also worth bearing in mind that April to May is the lowest season in the Serengeti due to the high rainfall, but it can be an excellent time to visit. In addition to being uncrowded, it is a very pretty time of year, and large numbers of wildebeest are usually present in the far south. Note, too, that roads around Seronera tend to be busiest during the peak wildlife-viewing hours of 7:30 AM to 10 AM and 2 PM to 4:30 PM. So, instead of breakfasting in camp, head out as early as possible – game drives are permitted from 6 AM onwards – with a packed breakfast to enjoy that magical first hour of daylight.”

What animals can I expect to see in the Serengeti?

“The Serengeti is great when it comes to both the variety and volume of wildlife. Over the course of a typical Serengeti safari, you can expect to see lion on a daily basis, and with luck you will also encounter a host of other carnivores including leopard (most common around Seronera), cheetah, spotted hyena, black-backed jackal, golden jackal and bat-eared fox. You might also be lucky enough to see secretive nocturnal creatures such as civet, serval, genet and African wildcat. Also certain to be seen on Serengeti tours are elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, plains zebra, wildebeest, Thomson’s gazelle, Grant’s gazelle, impala, Coke’s hartebeest and warthog. The localized patas monkey and black-and-white colobus are both resident in the Western Corridor. The black rhino is scarce and more likely to be seen in Ngorongoro Crater. More than 500 bird species have been recorded, among them the endemic grey-breasted spurfowl, Fischer’s lovebird, rufous-tailed weaver, Usambiro barbet and grey-crested helmet-shrike. The open plains are good for terrestrial giants such as ostrich, kori bustard, secretary bird and southern ground hornbill.”

How long is the drive to the park?

“Coming directly from Arusha, it is around 300km/186mi to the park headquarters at Seronera. The first half of this drive follows the same surfaced road that runs past Lake Manyara to the main eastern entrance of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). The second follows a rough and dusty corrugated track around the Ngorongoro Crater rim and western plains of the NCA. Allow at least six hours for the full drive, and ideally a full day. Note, however, that most Serengeti tours include overnight stops at Lake Manyara and/or Ngorongoro Crater, which helps to break up the trip.”

What condition are the roads in within the Serengeti?

“By any sensible international standards, the roads are terrible. It’s not a problem when you are on a relaxed game drive, but it can be tough going on longer drives between lodges and camps. If this sounds daunting, or you have a vulnerable back, think about booking a Serengeti safari package that includes flights into the park and between lodges and camps.”

What are the pros and cons of different accommodation types?

“Several types of accommodation are available on Serengeti safari tours. If you want to keep down costs, the cheapest option is a basic camping safari with a budget operator that will usually supply tents, sleeping bags and other gear, and no-frills meals. Serengeti is also serviced by a number of ‘hotel in the bush’ lodges operated by chains such as Serena and Sopa; these tend to be upper mid-range in price and offer high levels of comfort. They also tend to be designed to close out the bush at night, making them well suited to first-time safari-goers nervous about wildlife encounters. The park is also serviced by innumerable small lodges and tented camps (some permanent, others seasonal in order to follow the migration). These combine a medium to high level of comfort with a genuine bush atmosphere and a high probability of wildlife passing through, especially at night. Generally speaking, these smaller camps have prices that reflect the level of luxury and exclusivity they offer. Whichever option you go for, practically all Serengeti safari prices are all-inclusive and incorporate transport, game drives, park fees, accommodation and food.”

My husband and I are trying to plan a safari trip for January 2017. We are still trying to work out our budget because Tanzania is turning out to being a lot more expensive than we expected. Just a little background on us are we are newlyweds in our early 30's who love traveling to new countries. My husband is more into hiking while I am more into beaches and beautiful landscapes (whether it be mountains, beaches, lakes or deserts )

Our main question is .. is camping in a tent on a safari scary? Or are you still protected and safe from the animals. Some of the places I have looked into seem like you can bring in your own food and the company would supple the tent, which looks like just a regular tent I would use while camping in the midwest, so I am a little wary about it. Do you think it would be safe to camp in a tent ? We are trying to keep the safari cost as close to $200 per person per night as possible, but we could spend more and go for a shorter amount of time if need be.

Would it be wiser to just stay in a lodge outside of the national park and take a day trip into the national parks with a guide?

Our total time in Tanzania would be for three weeks, so we would devote 5 days at the most to safaris. We also want to check out Kilimanjaro for 2 days and then head to the beaches and Zanzibar for a little over a week.

There are public campsites where you would meet other campers. It is safe to do camping. However, with a budget of roughly usd350 per person per day you could get more comfortable accommodation.

thank you so much!

It that Amount only budget Camping safari and all campsite is safe but there is no fences at all wild animals are free to move around but following the rules of campsite that your not allowed walk at night maybe just go to the bathroom only thing important is torch night camp.

But suite luxury Tented with huge tented and more expensive and others is standard cost but all is depends upon which tented camp

Tents of all shapes, from tiny pups to large walk ins are completely safe. There will be wildlife around so do make sure the zip is closed (padlocked when not actually in it.) and no food whatsoever kept inside.

Obviously you should remain inside the tent after lights out and should there be an urgent need to make a visit out then call for assistance first.

Most night noises will be chomping of grass by Antelope or Zebra, maybe even Buffalo or Hippo. Nothing to worry about. You may hear ellies grumbling or even a grunt from a passing cat but they won't come clawing at the canvas to get at you.

Enjoy your visit.

Hi Alissaschulze,

Tanzania is a destination for varied budgets. From a budget camping safari in public camps to luxurious hotel stays at the Four Season Safari lodge in Serengeti and on to uber-luxurious accommodations beyond this.

You can have a camping trip outfitted for you by a local tour operator who will provide you with basics such as tents, sleeping mattress and sleeping bag. They will have a cook accompany you on the trip who will prepare meals assist you to put up camp when you are out exploring. Bringing your own food and preparing it will take away from precious time you can use to enjoy the animals and you don't that much by doing this.

$200 per person is a good budget for a camping trip if you join a group. Contact different TO's and see if they have open groups around your travel dates.

Staying in a lodge outside the park will actually cost you more. The parks are single entry. Once you exit your permit isn't valid and you will have to pay again for a new permit. If you stay inside the permit lasts 24 hours. So camp inside. You also loose hours in transit if you enter and exit the park everyday. For example Serengeti is an enormous park, the size of Connecticut. Exiting and reentering isn't the best plan.

There are different hiking tours you can do in Moshi. I recommend visiting Arusha National Park for hiking tours, visiting Moshi town from where you can do a Kilimanjaro day trip or going to Usambara mountains and hike here.

In Zanzibar you can find good accommodation at low budgets. Review websites will come in handy for this.

We stayed at tented camps (as opposed to camping in public campsites). Be aware that there are no fences and animals can and will walk into the campsites. For this reason you are instructed not to leave your tent at night by yourself. We knew this and were drawn to the idea of being close to nature and in the bush. It appears to be safe because this is how most of the lodging is there and we certainly had no issues but there moments in the night where you heard noises and we were a little nervous. But I definitely recommend it over staying in lodges outside of the parks. As others said, that isn't possible in some parks due to distances and park permits. Plus you definitely lose some of the experience by not staying in tented accommodations. Just be aware of what to expect.

Hi, I was just on tanzania last month and just to tell you, your in for a treat. It's such a beautiful country. We did the northern circuit and we went with thomson safaris. If your looking for an amazing expierence with a great tour company, I cannot tell you enough how much I recommend thomson. Everything was taken care of perfectly and it was overall flawless. We stayed in their beautiful tents as well as Gibson farm. While we were in the tents we felt perfectly safe and sleeping in the bush is an amazing expierence. You always heard sounds and at night hyenas, wilderbeasts, zebra and elephants walked right next to our tents which were amazing. At night, there was always a guard walking along the tents and we always felts safe. Your gonna love it no matter what you do.

And if you choose basic camps and worry about going about for a short call- you can buy a portable toilet :-) Google - shewizz

Bwana P. You and I were brought up not to go "while the train was in the station!" Now you suggest in a tent? Eeuuw!

Tents are safe, don't worry! The public campsites have guard/rangers with guns, and if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night you can either go right outside your tent (assuming it's a short call situation) or one of the guard/rangers can walk you to the toilets. Some animals graze their way through the campground, but they don't like step on the tents or anything! For me it was so nice to be on the ground and feeling the fresh air blowing through the tent and being so present in the landscape. I also found them very comfortable with pads an cushions under the sleeping bags.

But there are some less-expensive lodges to stay in as well. Your TO will be able to come up with some suggestions depending on the area where you're going. You might want to mix it up with some low-budget tent camping in places that have nicer camping facilities and some slightly more pricey lodges in places that have nice but less expensive lodges on site and get a good mix of both. But if the whole reason you're wary of the camping experience is that you fear danger from animals or other people, you really don't have to worry about those things.
