Wildlife and Gorilla Safaris in East Africa
About Serengeti
Serengeti National Park is the main reason many travellers book a Tanzania safari.
The Serengeti is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most important wildlife areas. It is known for open plains, big cats, resident wildlife, and the Great Migration, when wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move through different parts of the ecosystem across the year.
This is not a park to rush.
If your budget allows, spend at least 2 nights in Serengeti. If your trip is built around migration, your camp location matters more than simply saying “Serengeti” on the itinerary.
What Activities To Do
You can take game drives, hot air balloon safaris, visit Olduvai Gorge on the route between Ngorongoro and Serengeti, add cultural visits near the route, and stay in central, northern, southern, or western Serengeti depending on the season.
What To See
You may see lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, hippos, crocodiles, and more than 500 bird species.
The Great Migration is seasonal. River crossings are usually linked to northern Serengeti and the Mara River season. Calving is usually linked to southern Serengeti and Ndutu.
Best Time To Visit
The best time to visit Serengeti National Park depends on what you want to experience. June to October offers prime wildlife viewing, including the Great Migration’s dramatic river crossings. From December to March, the southern plains host the calving season, attracting predators. Both dry and green seasons provide unique opportunities, making Serengeti a year-round safari destination for unforgettable adventures.
How To Get There?
Serengeti National Park can be reached by road or air. From Arusha, it’s a full-day drive through scenic landscapes and wildlife areas. Alternatively, domestic flights from Arusha, Kilimanjaro, or Dar es Salaam land on several airstrips within the park. Air travel is faster and convenient, while road trips provide immersive experiences of Tanzania’s countryside and cultural encounters along the way.

Where to Stay
Choose your Serengeti stay by season and area. Central Serengeti works well for general wildlife. Northern Serengeti is important for migration during the river-crossing season. Southern Serengeti and Ndutu are useful for calving season.
