Serengeti National Park Safari Tours & Trips

The Serengeti National Park sits in northern Tanzania, stretching from the Ngorongoro highlands up to the Kenyan border, where it meets the Maasai Mara. At roughly 14,750 square kilometres it is one of Africa's largest parks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its endless plains and the Great Migration.

The long dry season, roughly June to October, is prime for general game viewing and overlaps with the Mara River crossings in the north. January to February is the calving season on the southern plains around Ndutu. The green months (November to December and the long rains of March to May) are quieter, lusher and better value. We'll time your trip around the wildlife you most want to see.

It depends on the season and the migration. The central Seronera area has resident big cats and is excellent year-round, the southern plains (Ndutu) shine for the calving from December to March, the Western Corridor (Grumeti) is best from May to July, and the north (Kogatende) is the place for the river crossings from July to October. Our specialists position your camps to match where the herds are likely to be for your dates.

Yes. The migration spends most of the year inside the Serengeti, from the calving on the southern plains to the long push north. Only the dramatic river crossings in July to October partly spill across the border into Kenya's Maasai Mara. With the right timing and camp placement, the Serengeti is the best place to witness the migration.

We'd suggest at least 3 to 4 nights in the Serengeti to settle into its rhythm and reach more than one region. Most trips pair it with the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire for a 6 to 8 day northern circuit, and many travellers add 3 to 4 nights on Zanzibar. Tell us how long you have and we'll build the right balance.

Yes, and it's one of the great Serengeti experiences. Balloons lift off at dawn and drift over the plains as the wildlife wakes, usually finishing with a champagne bush breakfast. We book the flight and the transfers into your itinerary, most often from the central Seronera or northern areas.

Most trips start at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) near Arusha. From there you reach the Serengeti by light aircraft to airstrips such as Seronera, Kogatende or Grumeti, or by 4x4 on the classic driving circuit through Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater. We arrange every internal connection for you.
