Serengeti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations, offers an unparalleled experience. Spanning 14,750 square kilometres, its pristine savannahs, woodlands, and riverine forests are teeming with breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife, making it a must-visit for any safari enthusiast.

The best time to visit Serengeti National Parkdepends on what you wish to experience. From June to October, the dry season is perfect for wildlife viewing, including the dramatic Great Migration river crossings in the north.

Between November and May, the green season offers lush landscapes, migratory birds, and fewer crowds. January to March brings the calving season, providing thrilling predator-prey interactions and a unique chance to witness nature’s raw beauty.

How To Go To Serengeti National Park

Most safaris to Serengeti National Park begin in Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit. Visitors typically fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), about 50km from Arusha, or Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) with a connection to Arusha Airport (ARK).

You can reach Serengeti by air or road. Regular flights connect Arusha to airstrips inside the park. Alternatively, an eight-hour scenic drive includes passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, offering opportunities for wildlife sightings.
