Serengeti Safaris

Introduction

The Serengeti National Park is central to East Africa’s wildlife system, defined by seasonal movement across a wider ecosystem extending into the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Rainfall, grazing conditions, and water availability determine wildlife distribution, making precise timing and camp positioning essential when structuring a safari.

A well-planned Serengeti safari is built around these shifting patterns, with different regions offering distinct conditions throughout the year. Working with experienced private guides allows for flexible, well-informed decisions on the ground, ensuring time is spent in the most relevant areas rather than following fixed routes.

Where is Serengeti National Park?

Serengeti National Park lies in northern Tanzania, extending west from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the shores of Lake Victoria, and north to the Kenyan border where it connects directly with the Maasai Mara National Reserve. It forms part of a larger, continuous ecosystem defined by wildlife movement across unfenced boundaries.

Access is typically via scheduled or private light aircraft from Arusha, with airstrips positioned across key regions including the southern plains, central Seronera, western corridor, and northern areas. Road transfers are possible but time intensive, and generally used only when linking nearby locations within northern Tanzania.

What do Serengeti Safaris cost?

The cost of a safari in the Serengeti varies depending on season, location, and level of logistics required. Our private safaris typically start from around $1,000 per person per day, rising significantly with higher-end accommodation and more complex routing overall.

At the upper end, itineraries using private charter aircraft and the most exclusive lodges can reach approximately $3,000 per person per day. Final costs are driven by flight time, camp selection, guiding structure, and the use of private aircraft rather than scheduled services.
