Serengeti National Park Tours & Trips
Picture this: the Great Migration, a spectacle of nature's design. Millions of wildebeest, a vast, rumbling tide sweeping across the Serengeti, with lions poised in the underbrush. The wildlife here is something else, truly. You can't fully grasp it until you're there. Witnessing predators in action, it's something you just have to see with your own eyes, and when you do, you won't forget it.

Tanzania is an amazing place to vacation. We visited three magnificent parks ( Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti) and they were all special. I bet going on tour with Sadique made it all better than we expected, for he was the best. He really knows his stuff and very passionate about conservation. We stayed at nice places, especially Ngorongoro Wildcamp which was excellent. I highly recommend this package.

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.

Best places to start your Serengeti National Park tour
Most safaris kick off from Arusha, where 44 different tours begin in this lively city. Another 21 tours start from Nairobi, while some visitors choose Zanzibar as their jumping-off point, particularly if they want to mix beach days with their wildlife experience. You'll want to book about 26 days ahead since the best lodges fill up fast, though during the busy months of July through September it's smart to plan even earlier to get your pick of accommodations and expert guides. The wildlife viewing hits its peak in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu Plains from December to March when thousands of wildebeest calves are born, while the western corridor offers dramatic river crossings from June to July. Early morning and sunset drives give you the best shots at seeing and photographing the park's big cats, including some harder-to-spot predators like servals and also caracals. More visitors are now adding Maasai-led cultural tours to their trips, which gives you real insights into local traditions and helps support community tourism projects.

Our top Serengeti winter tours focus on the southern plains and Ndutu area from December through March, right where the great migration settles in. The 8-day tours really hit the mark for wildlife viewing, especially during wildebeest calving season. Our safari vehicles get you close to the action and TourRadar customers love how these trips combine game drives across Lake Nakuru, the Serengeti and also Ngorongoro Crater. You'll spot rhinos along Lake Nakuru's shoreline, and the nights camping in the park are something special - there's nothing quite like being tucked in your comfortable tent while lions call in the distance.

Spring tours in the Serengeti showcase exceptional wildlife activity in the southern plains and Ndutu region. From December through March, TourRadar customers gather to witness thousands of wildebeest calves taking their first steps on the savanna, offering prime migration viewing opportunities. The 8-day safaris encompass Lake Nakuru, the Serengeti, and also Ngorongoro Crater where you'll find excellent rhino sightings along the lake's shoreline. Our expert guides position vehicles in just the right spots for unobstructed views of these remarkable animals. The nights become magical in comfortable tents set up within the park, where distant lion calls serve as your evening soundtrack. You'll discover both natural wonders and cultural heritage through Maasai village visits, stops at Olduvai Gorge, and intimate encounters with the ecosystem's diverse wildlife.

- Summer 2026
Summer in the Serengeti means river crossings, and our 7-14 day tours catch the migration moving through the western corridor from June through July. Starting from Nairobi or Arusha, these safaris work their way through multiple parks at just the right pace. Our guides know exactly where to position vehicles for the best views of crocodiles and wildebeest at river crossings - it's what they do best. Some tours mix things up with stops at the Olduvai Gorge museum and Maasai villages, while others stick to pure wildlife watching. Our travelers particularly like how the accommodation varies from bush camping to proper lodges where you can take a cool dip between game drives.

World Adventure Tours and African Polecat Safaris stand out among safari operators in the region based on what our travelers tell us. World Adventure Tours works with Zara Properties to provide really comfortable lodges and camps, while their guides Daniel, Joseph and also Obed consistently get mentioned by name in reviews. Travelers appreciate how they track wildlife movements and position vehicles just right for watching lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos and also buffalo - the complete Big Five. The timing is particularly good during the wildebeest migration, when the guides know exactly where to set up for the best viewing spots. African Polecat Safaris takes a similar quality approach - they've invested in well-maintained vehicles with good suspension for those bumpy tracks, and their accommodations hit that sweet spot between comfort and feeling properly immersed in the wilderness. Their staff undergoes extensive training which shows in how they handle everything from wildlife spotting to explaining local ecology. What makes these safaris real adventures is the unpredictable nature of wildlife viewing - you might find yourself following fresh lion tracks at dawn, or quietly watching a herd of elephants pass right by your vehicle. The guides know how to read animal behavior and adjust the schedule when something interesting is happening nearby.
