Imagine yourself surrounded by endless grassy plains dotted with waterholes, teeming with majestic lions, graceful leopards, lumbering elephants, and towering giraffes. This is the magic that awaits you on a Serengeti safari, an experience that will leave you breathless and forever etched in your memories.
The Serengeti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is not just another safari destination. It’s a vast ecosystem teeming with life, where the annual wildebeest migration, one of the greatest natural spectacles on Earth, unfolds. As Alan Moorehead aptly said, “Anyone who can go to the Serengeti, and does not, is mad.”
Every year, over 2 million wildebeest embark on a breathtaking journey, following the rains in a clockwise loop between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara in Kenya. Witnessing this awe-inspiring spectacle, with thundering hooves and clouds of dust swirling, is an experience that will stay with you forever.
Beyond the migration, the Serengeti boasts an incredible diversity of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas stalking their prey. Observe playful elephants and giraffes, graceful antelopes, and over 500 species of birds soaring through the sky.
Embark on thrilling game drives, both during the day and under the starlit sky, for unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities. As dusk falls and the nocturnal predators emerge, witness the drama of the hunt unfold before your very eyes.
Unforgettable experiences in the Serengeti don’t have to break the bank. We offer a range of exciting overland tours and budget safaris that allow you to immerse yourself in the wonders of the park without compromising on adventure.
Opt for camping safaris, immersing yourself in the heart of the park under the starry sky.
Enjoy comfortable campsites with essential amenities while keeping costs manageable.
Our budget safaris offer guided game drives, meals, and basic accommodation, ensuring a memorable and affordable Serengeti experience.
The reserve offers year round game viewing along with very comfortable temperatures. The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is one of Africa’s greatest wildernesses. Offering one of the ultimate safari experience.
As the world’s largest protected grassland, it’s made up of vast savanna plains and forests. It’s especially well known for its predators which boast lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas.
The Serengeti is spectacular at any time of year, however the highlight is the wildebeest migration. This is when millions of animals including zebra cross from the Serengeti into the Masai Mara in Kenya and later return to the Serengeti. This time of year is also the calving season when baby animals are born. The Migration generally begins in November following the rains in this region, the herds move from the neighbouring Masai Mara and head south into the Serengeti. Although, in August the herds cross back into the Masai Mara.
By visiting this UNESCO World Heritage site you are assisting in contributing towards the sustainability of the country’s economy and protection of the reserve which supports the annual migration of these beautiful animals.
The Serengeti is a pretty expensive safari destination, with park fees costing $50 per person per day. Additional costs of $30 per vehicle and $30 per tent. Unlike other African parks, such as Kruger National Park and the Masai Mara, the Serengeti does not have many accommodation options. The lodges in the reserve are pricey with some charging thousands of dollars a night.
However, you can still travel to the Serengeti on a budget. This is possible on an overland trip. We offer a number of budget safaris to the Serengeti where you stay in the park’s campsites. These include our epic 58-day Nairobi to Cape Town overland tour (which covers most of the highlights of east and southern Africa) as well as shorter trips like the 12-day Kenya and Tanzania budget safari or the 10-day highlights of Tanzania budget safari. You can browse more of our budget Serengeti safaris here.
October through to July is the best time to go to the Serengeti as this is normally when the wildebeest migration occurs. The weather in the Serengeti is generally comfortable all year round however you can experience short rains during Oct and November and again in March and April.
Serengeti safaris can range in price depending on various factors like the type of accommodation (camping, lodge), duration of your trip, and chosen activities. Budget-friendly options like camping safaris start around $100-$200 per day, while luxury lodge stays can cost upwards of $1,000 per night.
The Serengeti is undoubtedly one of the most iconic safari destinations in Africa, offering a unique combination of diverse wildlife, vast landscapes, and the unparalleled spectacle of the migration. However, “best” is subjective and depends on your individual preferences and priorities. Consider other destinations like Masai Mara in Kenya or Kruger National Park in South Africa for comparison.
Both Masai Mara and Serengeti offer incredible safari experiences. The Masai Mara is known for its wide-open plains and excellent predator viewing, while the Serengeti boasts a larger landscape and the wildebeest migration. Ultimately, the “better” choice depends on your specific interests and priorities.
Safaris in Kenya, particularly in the Masai Mara, tend to be slightly cheaper compared to Tanzania, especially for budget options. However, prices can vary depending on specific itineraries and chosen operators.
Several factors contribute to the higher cost of safaris in Tanzania, including higher park fees, remoteness of certain areas, and exclusivity of certain experiences. However, budget-friendly options like camping safaris are available.
The ideal duration for your Serengeti safari depends on your preferred pace and desired activities. For a glimpse of the highlights, including the migration, 3-5 days might suffice. However, to fully immerse yourself in the park’s wonders and diverse wildlife, consider a 7-10 day itinerary.
A 2-week African safari encompassing multiple destinations, including the Serengeti, can range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on chosen destinations, accommodation types, and activities. Budget options and group tours can help bring down the cost.
October, is an amazing Month, but you can visit either side.
