Serengeti National Park Safari Tour Reviews
- 5 Days Affordable Annual Wildebeest Migration
We modified the itinerary to have additional days in the Serengeti and Bernard was very helpful in organising the new itinerary. They were quick to reply and made sure we had everything we needed. Bernard kept in contact leading up to the tour and was very helpful with any questions. There was an included airport pick up and drop off in the tour. We had an included Arusha city tour the morning before we flew out. The campsites in the Serengeti are very basic and not necessarily well maintained but the tents and camping equipment provided by the company were good. Free WiFi was also provided on the tour. Our driver Richard from Mashindiko tours was amazing! He did everything he could to ensure we saw as much as possible. He really made the tour one to remember!
I was apprehensive about booking this tour due to the lack of reviews but I’m so glad I did. The communication from the beginning was spot on, Ahmad answered all questions with professionalism and clarity. The tour itself was amazing. Special thanks to our guide, Emmanuel, who was extremely knowledgeable and seemed to know the national parks like the back of his hand which helped us massively with the abundance of wildlife we saw and in such close proximity too. He made it an unforgettable experience and gave us memories I will cherish for the rest of my life. This is a tour that will exceed your expectations.

Special thanks to our driver guide Aboh who explained a lot of things to us about the park, history, ecosystem, habits, local traditions, etc. Really vast knowledge, Bravo!
What our customers ask about Best Serengeti Safaris
What is the best time to visit Serengeti National Park to witness the Great Migration?
The Great Migration follows distinct seasonal patterns in Serengeti National Park. Visit between July and September to see dramatic river crossings in the northern Serengeti. February to March brings the calving season in the southern plains. Properties like Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge provide front-row seats to the migration where over two million wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "We had the safari of a lifetime and got to see the mass migration in Serengeti including all the big 5 during our visit."
What wildlife can I expect to see during a Serengeti safari?
The Serengeti teems with Africa's most iconic wildlife. The park houses over 3,000 lions (Africa's largest population) and roughly 1,000 leopards with high visibility in the Seronera region. Visitors regularly encounter the "Big Five" along with cheetahs zebras and over 500 bird species. The Wagakuria area stands out for its resident wildlife particularly its lion prides that can number up to 30. A TourRadar traveler notes: "Every game drive felt like an expedition not knowing what we would encounter next."
How are game drives typically structured during a Serengeti safari?
Safari days in the Serengeti start early with morning drives between 6:00-8:00 AM when animals are most active. Afternoon drives begin after lunch around 13:00. Most itineraries include two daily game drives led by guides who know the best viewing spots in regions like Seronera and the northern plains.

Travelers can reach the Serengeti by air or road. Regular flights connect Arusha and Zanzibar to various park airstrips including Seronera and Kogatende. The two-hour flight from Arusha offers views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Ngorongoro Crater. The road journey from Arusha takes 5-6 hours with stops at other attractions. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The scenic flight from Zanzibar to Serengeti offered breathtaking views and was an experience in itself."
What is included in the typical safari package price for Serengeti National Park?
Standard safari packages cover professional English-speaking guides 4x4 vehicles with pop-up roofs park fees full-board accommodation and three daily meals. High-end options like Baobab Serengeti Camp add private verandas and gourmet dining. Packages usually include transfers from Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport. A TourRadar traveler shares: "Everything was well-organized - from the comfortable vehicles to excellent meals and knowledgeable guides making it great value for money."
How long should I plan to stay in Serengeti National Park for an optimal safari experience?
Plan for 3-4 days to properly explore the Serengeti's diverse regions from central Seronera to the northern plains. Popular options include the 4-day Serengeti Explorer combining Serengeti and Ngorongoro or the focused 3-day fly-in safari.
