How to get Serengeti National Park :

Most safaris to Serengeti National Park start from the town of Arusha. The best option to get there is to fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), which is situated about 50km/31mi from Arusha. It is also possible to fly into Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam and fly on to Arusha Airport (ARK) or Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO).

There are regular flights from Arusha to several airstrips inside the park, but it is also possible to drive. The trip is about 325km/200mi and will take around 8 hours*. It is a bumpy ride, but it’s scenic and you’ll see wildlife along the way.

As the drive takes you through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a popular option is to fly one way, and drive the other way taking in an overnight stop to visit the Ngorongoro Crater. Coming from the crater, the distance to the Seronera area in the Serengeti is about 140km/90mi and the driving time is around 3 hours*.

*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.

Serengeti lodges & Camps FAQ's

What is Serengeti National Park known for ?

Serengeti National Park is renowned for its vast, breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife, including the iconic Great Migration. This annual migration involves over two million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles moving across the Serengeti and Maasai Mara, looking for fresh grazing lands. The park is also famous for its diverse ecosystems, ranging from savannahs and woodlands to kopjes (rocky outcrops), making it one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife reserves.

When is the best time to visit Serengeti National Park?

The best time to visit Serengeti Park depends on what you want to experience. The ideal time to witness the Great Migration is between June and October when the herds move through the Serengeti’s central and northern regions.

The dry season (June to October) is best for optimal wildlife viewing beyond the migration, as animals congregate around water sources. From November to May, the rainy season offers lush landscapes and fewer tourists, but it can be challenging for game drives due to muddy roads.

What wildlife can you see in Serengeti National Park?

Serengeti houses an impressive array of wildlife. In addition to the Great Migration herds, you can see the African Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinoceroses.
