The Serengeti ecosystem is a geographical region in northern Tanzania, bordering Kenya, Lake Victoria, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It’s also a UNESCO-listed World Heritage national park that offers year-round safari adventures.
The wonder and excitement of a Serengeti safari can be enjoyed in the low season when fewer tourists crowd the majestic landscapes. From June to October, the Great Wildebeest Migration crosses back and forth over the Mara River, a spectacular sight, but also the busiest time of the year. Marvel at cheetah on termite mounds surveying the landscapes for prey, elephant herds on vast plains, and other fantastic wildlife. Explore more about the top places to visit in Tanzania, or head over to our blog to read stories from the field.
3-Day Budget Serengeti Itinerary
A 3-day budget safari in the Serengeti, the most common approach is a camping-based itinerary starting and ending in Arusha. This duration is compact, so it typically focuses on the Central Serengeti (Seronera), which is known for its high density of big cats.
