Safari in Serengeti National Park — Private Game Drives from Arusha
A safari in Serengeti National Park is one of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences on Earth. Stretching across 14,763 km² of golden savanna in northern Tanzania, the Serengeti is home to the world-famous Great Migration, the Big Five, and some of Africa’s most dramatic predator-prey interactions. At Afranic Travel & Tours, we take you there privately — your own jeep, your own guide, your own pace.
What Is a Serengeti Safari?
A Serengeti safari is a guided wildlife expedition through Tanzania’s most iconic national park. You’ll spend your days on game drives — exploring the open plains, river crossings, and woodlands in a 4×4 safari vehicle alongside an expert local guide. Unlike tourist buses, our private safaris give you the freedom to stay as long as you like at any sighting.
The Serengeti is part of the larger Northern Tanzania Safari Circuit, which includes Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara — all easily combined into one unforgettable trip from our base in Arusha.
Best Time for a Safari in Serengeti National Park
- January – March: Calving season in the southern Serengeti. Witness thousands of wildebeest giving birth — and predators following closely behind.
- June – July: The Great Migration river crossings begin at the Grumeti River. Dramatic and unmissable.
- August – October: Peak season. The Mara River crossings in the northern Serengeti are at full intensity — crocodiles, wildebeest, chaos.
- November – December: Green season. Fewer crowds, lush landscapes, excellent birding, and lower prices.
Our local guides track the migration in real time and position you perfectly — no matter when you visit.
What Will You See?
The Big Five
The Serengeti is one of the best places in Africa to see all Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino — in a single trip. Our guides know the territories, the watering holes, and the kill sites.
The Great Migration
Over 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebra, and 500,000 gazelle move in a continuous loop across the Serengeti ecosystem and Kenya’s Masai Mara. It is the largest overland migration on the planet — and we’ll put you right in the middle of it.
Other Wildlife
Cheetah, wild dog, hyena packs, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, over 500 bird species — the Serengeti delivers on every game drive.
