Where are the best regions for Serengeti Safaris ?

The Serengeti is one of the largest and most protected ecosystems in the world. Namely, different regions of the Serengeti are all spectacular to visit for a real African adventure. Every corner of the Serengeti is uniquely striking. Let us tell you about each region in full.

Central Serengeti

If you decide to do a Serengeti Safari in its most central part, you will stay in the bustling heart of this amazing national park. This centralized region is a great spot with a variety of camps and lodges to choose from, which can also make it a busier location than the other parts of the Serengeti. It can be especially crowded during peak season – June to October. 

However, Central Serengeti is known for having great access to the best Migration spots and Big 5 sightings. You will be surrounded by beautiful wooded hills and grassy plains – which is a magnet for other wild animals giving you optimum observations of wildlife. Opting for Central Serengeti is a great choice if a Serengeti Safari is at the top of your list.

Northern Serengeti

The northern part of the Serengeti is the most remote and the least crowded. It is an ideal spot to see amazing wildlife as well as enjoy the miraculous landscapes. What’s great about northern Serengeti is that it is on the border of Kenya which makes it a fabulous location to continue your adventure in another country. One of the highlights of Northern Serengeti is the Mara River as well as the Great Migration that happens right across it. Just make sure you are in town at the right time to see it.

The northern region offers you a chance to see one of the rarest animals in the world – the rhino. This region is a great place to spot it!

Western Serengeti

If you want a luxurious Serengeti safari, head to the west. Luxurious accommodations and camps are upon you in this upscale region of the park. The western part is also ideal for traditional safaris as well as an array of experiences to match, like photography safaris, sleeping under the stars and private group safaris. It’s also an ideal spot to witness the Great Migration as well as visit the Grumeti River. This area is an ideal setting for a Serengeti Safari with outlooks and views to behold. This is why many of the more exclusive lodges and overnight stays are based here. It is a gorgeous part of the Serengeti.

Eastern Serengeti

The eastern part of the Serengeti is a good choice if you want to avoid tourist crowds. It is the least visited area of the park, and it is also the quietest one. If the idea of a Serengeti safari is your cup of tea but you want a quieter adventure – the eastern region is an ideal choice. It is also closer to Lake Natron as well as the Ngorongoro Crater too. If you love wild cat species, especially cheetahs – a larger number are found in east Serengeti. Here you will get to observe wild cats as well as wild animals in abundance. A quieter side of the Serengeti but amazing to visit.
