This is the ultimate park for safari experience, it is every visitors desire to see the “land of endless plains” as it is known by the nomadic Masaai who are found here. Serengeti covers an area of 14,760sq km. It is famed for the annual wildebeest migration and its wildlife density. The landscape can roughly be divided into short grass plains and woodland area. There is a common misconception that during the annual migration in late July, the park is virtually empty. In fact, the “migration” typically involves wildebeests and a couple of hundred zebras. Therefore, when the migration is over, there is a lot of resident wildlife to be seen and photographed.
How to get to Serengeti: It is a 6-7 hour journey by road or you can fly to any one of several airstrips in Serengeti (several flights daily).

Experiencing Serengeti: Due to the distance from Arusha, this park is seldom planned as a visit on very first day of a safari unless flights to Serengeti are planned. For this reason you need to consult our safari consultant to plan the right program for you. Depending on the time of visit, we recommend a minimum of two or more nights. Ask us for more details and ideas.
