As a couple we had a wonderful trip with Serengeti African Tours for a safari. Our tour guide Aboh was excellent. He answered all our questions and provided lots of information on the animals, landscape and culture around us. He was very friendly, funny and informative and we always felt in safe hands. Aboh consistently managed to find us the best spots to see the animals, by being able to expertly navigate through the Serengeti and other safari vehicles. On our private safari experience, we were very lucky to see all of the big 5 and a lot more - thank you Aboh! Our accommodation was great in beautiful and unique settings

AMAZING We had a truly AMAZING experience going with Serengeti African Tours and with the guide Aboh. We saw all big 5 animals, and most of them plenty of times. Aboh knew all the best spots to see truly amazing things. We even got to see 4 lion cubs together with the mum and dad. The guide also explained everything about the park, the animals and all other questions we had. Everything felt super safe and great. I can really recommend everyone to do this trip and to have Andrew as your guide, it will be your best trip ever

Were able to create the trip we wanted with the dates and budget we had. Communication was swift and efficient. We had opted for a mid-range price bracket but the accommodation exceeded expectations. Especially their Boma Suricata lodge. Star of the show wasn’t any of the Big 5 which we were able to see, but our driver and guide Max. With warmth and great Tanzanian charm, he drove with skill and somehow managed to find these elusive animals Max guarded us rather like the Meerkat, always vigilant making sure we were all having the best experience ever.

Our guide Abouh was amazing, he explained a lot (he knows a everything about wildlife, the nationalsparks and about life in Tanzania) and drove us safely the entire trip. Can definitely recommend booking your Safari with Serengeri African Tours

Super 6 Day Family lodge Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Unforgettable memories in Serengeti and Ngorongoro where we slept among the animals.

We booked the 4 day safari with Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. During the safari we quickly decided to go to Materuni waterfalls, this was possible without any problems. We've all seen the Big 5. Our guide ombeni was very friendly and knew his way around very well. The food was excellent.

Excellent planning and implementation

Excellent planning and implementation My husband and I planned and recently completed a 5-day private safari with Serengeti African Tours. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the team members once again. Only with professional help it is possible to plan the right length in the different national parks. Our guide Ombeni was unbelievably great, he was there for us the whole day, told us everything we needed to know about the animals and was simply a likeable and nice person with whom we enjoyed spending the 5 days. THANK YOU, Ombeni for an unforgettable safari! Everything was very professional, from the organization to the handling on site and the implementation. We can highly recommend Serengeti African Tours as a tour provider

Best team to go on top of Africa

Best team to go on top of Africa It's a lifetime experience to do Kili and to succeed thanks to a team that help us fulfilling this. Thanks to Lucas for making it so easy for us, for both, Kilimanjaro and Safaris. Thanks also to Gasto (best guide ever) and all his team that were so kind and so generous, always the smile on their faces. Lemosho route is wonderful, each day is different with a lot of sceneries and views. We recommend them 1000%

We really enjoyed our 5 day northern parks safari with Serengeti African Tiours. We saw lots of birds and animals (big 5 included). By the 4th day we’d seen so many big cats we’d lost count. Highlight was a gathering by the river… a large pride of lions including 6 cubs, a herd of elephants (around 40) and a large herd of buffalo (50+). Our guide Ombeni was great. His knowledge of the local flora and fauna was truly impressive. I think he was even more excited at spotting the big 5 than we were. Our kids (13 and 15) thought he was awesome! Let’s be honest, on a once-in-a-lifetime safari like this, having the right guide means everything. If you’re looking for a professional and knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humor we’d definitely recommend Ombeni and Serengeti African Tours

Amazing experience with a fantastic…

Amazing experience with a fantastic guide and great safari company. Our experience with Serengeti Adrian tours couldn't have been easier and we felt very lucky to have our guide, Abu. Abu is very knowledgeable, experienced, and an excellent spotter of wildlife. Because of Abu and his spirited drive, we were able to see all of the big 5 and many other wonderful animals. The itinerary itself was packed and gave us an opportunity to enjoy all of the different excursions in Tanzania without having to worry about the logistics. All of the places we stayed at that were selected by Serengeti African tours were wonderful with great staff themselves. In the lead up to the trip, Lucas, Safina were extremely responsive and made sure all the arrangements were correct in planning the right vacation for us.

Great Tour, Nice Guide, Good Food! Would recommend!! It’s been a great 4 day Safari with Serengeti African Tours. The whole planning was very professional. Our tour guide Aboh has a lot of experience and knowledge about animals, the spots and the culture of Tanzania. The food during the Safari was so great, we will miss it a lot! If you are searching for a great nature experience, this is the tour to book for you! Also a big plus for us is that it was very sustainable and that the staff and owners are Tanzanian people, so all the money stays in the country

Incredible safari experience with our guide Aboh from Serengeti African Tours This has been the most, or at least one of the most extraordinary experience my girlfriend and I ever had. Our guide, Aboh was incredible throughout this trip and made sure we had the best time possible. He knows the parcs and especially the serengeti by heart, is very knowledgeable about the parcs and the animals and always have very interesting stories. He is also extremely gifted to see animals we'd have missed without him. 1000 thanks to him. Don't hesitate to ask for him personally for the best experience possible! (And if you want a french speaking guide). Thank you Aboh and Serengeti African Tours

We had an amazing time during our Safari with our guide Ombeni and our cook Richard We booked the safari via the internet from Germany. The communication was easy and we got all information we needed. Also the organisation during our trip was perfect and on time. Our Guide Ombeni drove us safely all the time and explained a lot. We saw a lot of animals, some even very close to the car! He also found the best picture spots :) It was amazing! The food was always freshly prepared. You don‘t get the lunch boxes you get with other companies. The food Richard prepared for us every day was absolutely exquisite! The tents are quite big and comfortable.

This New Luxury Safari Camp Moves to 9 Locations Across Serengeti National Park During the Great Migration

Wilderness Usawa Serengeti just opened in Tanzania, and T+L contributor and hotel expert Jackie Caradonio was the first to review it.

Jackie Caradonio is a New York–based writer and photographer who specializes in travel, dining, sustainability, and art and design. Her articles and photography have appeared in publications such as Condé Nast Traveler, Bloomberg Pursuits, Afar, The New York Times, and others.

It was what the guides in Serengeti National Park call a “small crossing” — slight in both the number of animals involved (no more than 100) and the number of humans who witnessed it (just a handful). But it was hardly minor to me. 

The zebras were casual — too casual, I suspected — as they trotted across the Mara River. Murky brown water swallowed up their legs and haunches, yet they remained unhurried. All was peaceful. 

Then the crocodiles came. At first one, then two — then six — and within seconds, they had taken hold of an adolescent. The water splashed and bubbled, the young equine scuttled, the crocodiles worked in unsettling concert. Suddenly, the zebra broke away, bucking its hind legs in one last Hail Mary attempt at escape. But it was too late. At the first sight of red, I put my binoculars down and trained my focus on the distant savannah. 

Noticing the tears welling up in my eyes, Chrisple Sikawa, my guide from Usawa mobile camp, offered the salve of logic. “This is the circle of life,” he said. “You wouldn’t want the crocodiles to go hungry, would you?”

Jackie Caradonio/Travel + Leisure

Heartbroken as I was, I knew he was right. I also knew that such dramatic sightings are precisely the reason one comes to Tanzania’s most famous safari destination: to see the wilderness at its most brazen and brutish, as real as it has ever been or ever will be. 

That’s the promise of the great migration, the mass journey of roughly 2 million wildebeests and zebras, and the headlining act of almost any Serengeti safari. The event is constant and year-round, spanning 500 miles from the southern Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara, just north of the Tanzania border, making it a moving target for the nearly 500,000 tourists who come to the national park every year. 

That transient nature is what enticed Keith Vincent, co-founder and CEO of the hospitality company Wilderness , to create Wilderness Usawa Serengeti , a roving camp that opened on its first of nine eventual sites across the Serengeti on July 26. “In the old days of guiding, you had a vehicle and a tent, and you moved wherever the wilderness went and set up camp along the way,” Vincent says. “With Usawa, I wanted to give that freedom back to our guests.”

Wilderness Usawa Serengeti

• A luxury mobile camp, Usawa travels across the Serengeti National Park, popping up seasonally in nine locations across the national park, all set along the path of the great migration.

• The camp’s six en-suite tents are designed to have minimal impact on the environment, with off-grid power and water systems, and an innovative design that requires only manpower to build and disassemble. 

• The main attraction of any stay at Usawa are the daily game drives and safari walks, during which guests can glimpse the great migration, big five animals, and other wildlife.

• Usawa’s custom-designed tents are decorated with art, furniture, and crafts made exclusively by Tanzanian artisans. 

• The camp’s all-inclusive rates include three meals a day, all game drives and safari walks, and on-the-ground support from the moment your journey starts.

To do so, Vincent first had to strip down the luxury safari camp experience regularly found at other Wilderness camps. There are no plunge pools or spa treatments at Usawa, but rather a wide-open expanse on the crest of a remote hill, where six guest tents and a larger main tent are wrapped 360 degrees in mesh and canvas, giving a sense of near-total exposure to the elements. The entire operation is off-grid, with lighting supplied by rechargeable lanterns and solar-powered lamps (romantic or vexing, depending on your task) and showers fed by buckets of manually heated water that funnel into taps by simple gravity (and, boy, do they feel amazing). 

Still, nothing comes close to roughing it. King-size beds are dressed in crisp white linens, bathrooms are stocked with Inaya Zanzibar’s all-natural products, and décor is a curated assemblage of local design and ingenuity. The greatest luxury of all, however, is Usawa’s connection to nature: the cool breezes that drift through your tent, the sound of raindrops and elephants trumpeting as you drift to sleep, the first sliver of early morning sun as it stretches across the horizon to gently wake you.

“But the real fun of it,” Vincent insists, “is the chase.” Thus, Usawa moves with the great migration — from the south’s calving season, during which hundreds of wildebeests are born every day, to the mass crossings that take place on the Mara River — with Wilderness operating up to three identical camps at any one time, while a fourth transitions to the next site. Guests can easily follow the action, hopscotching from camp to camp. Once the herd moves on, Wilderness packs up and makes for the next location, leaving no trace behind. 

Over five days at one of the camp’s northern locations, I found that, however great the migration itself is, it was only a small part of any experience in the Serengeti, which is home to one of the most wildlife-rich expanses in Africa. Spanning more than 5,500 square miles, it is the quintessential picture of sub-Saharan wilderness, home to an abundance of big cats, as well as the rest of the Big Five animals (including a growing population of rhinos), plus giraffes, elephants, hyenas, and more than 500 bird species. 

But, in the end, it was the great migration that once again beckoned. Though the heartache of our earlier sighting was still fresh in my mind, I agreed to let Sikawa show me what he called “the magic of a big crossing.” And so, we set out for the Mara, tracing its banks until a massive swirl of dust caught our attention — a scuffle of hooves pounding the dirt, Sikawa explained.

We arrived at its source minutes later, just as the first wildebeests were crossing, grunting and bucking all the while, literally running for their lives. One by one, as they made their safe passage across the river, they surrounded our vehicle, their mews nothing short of celebratory to my ears. The crossing carried on for close to an hour, and when the dust finally settled, not a single casualty had occurred. Then, a calf, clearly exhausted, dropped onto its knees to nurse from its mother’s teat. I felt the tears welling up once again, and this time they poured out like rain. It had been quite the journey — for all of us. 

Designed by Luxury Frontiers (whose other hospitality projects include Camp Sarika by Amangiri in Utah and Naviva, a Four Seasons Resort in Punta Mita, Mexico), Usawa’s six en-suite tents are made from overlapping swatches of canvas and mesh to eliminate the barrier between the indoors and the great outdoors.

Still, every creature comfort has been accounted for. King-size beds are dressed in luxury linens; minibars are stocked with fresh coffee, tea, and snacks; and toiletries are from all-natural skincare brand Inaya Zanzibar. Interiors throughout the camp showcase Tanzania’s artisans and designers: handwoven baskets, blankets, and pillows are sourced from a local collective that empowers women to achieve financial independence. Glassware, beaded chandeliers, and leather details come from Sanaa, a non-profit that teaches lucrative crafts to those with disabilities. And tables and chairs made from upcycled plastic are the ingenious creation of Arusha-based DuniaDesigns. 

Outside, my husband and I lounged on our hammock (often with a bottle of South African rosé) or watched the surrounding hills through binoculars from a pair of canvas chairs. We regularly witnessed game drive–worthy sightings right outside our tent, from a family of elephants crossing the hills to the hundreds of zebras and wildebeest that wandered right through camp. 

Usawa is all-inclusive, including spirits and a wide selection of wines from the African continent. The culinary team takes full advantage of Tanzania’s robust farming culture, serving both international and traditional Swahili dishes. Okra takes on heavenly forms in spicy curry, South African syrah sings with fragrant Zanzibari-spiced pilau rice, and creamy mtori soup, made with fresh plantains, is equal parts sweet and savory — and utterly irresistible. 

All mealtimes and menus are customized for guests as they plan each day with their guide. Pre-safari breakfasts are lavish spreads of porridge, fruit, pastries, and made-to-order eggs. Lunch is served overlooking the savannah at the edge of camp, or as a picnic on game drives. Dinners are multi-course affairs served under the starry night sky or in the main tent. 

Experiences and Amenities 

Activities are centered on the magnificent theater that is the great wilderness of the Serengeti. As Usawa travels among nine locations throughout the national park, guests are afforded the chance to witness the great migration up-close in its many phases. From January to March, the southern Serengeti bears witness to the birth of thousands of wildebeests (an estimated 800 calves are born each day). Come July, the herds move north and river crossings are the main event. 

Game drives and bush walks are offered daily. One morning we set out straight from camp on foot, skirting a family of elephants as they broke down an entire acacia tree for an afternoon feast, then catching sight of a cheetah sprinting across the hillside 100 yards away. On a drive the next day, we encountered a mother cheetah and her cubs, the white of their bellies fat and round, the scruff of their chins blood-stained—and vultures circling overhead in pursuit of the remains of their kill. We waited patiently outside a cluster of bushes for a leopard to at last poke out its spotted head; watched a thick-maned lion perch proudly atop a boulder, keeping a watchful eye over a valley filled with prey; and counted the many crocodiles ominously patrolling the banks of the river. 

Family-friendly Offerings 

Usawa welcomes children from six years old. Buy-outs are available for families with members of all ages. All safari activities can be customized to accommodate different ages and abilities.

Wilderness’s greatest ambition in creating Usawa was to create a safari camp that would minimally impact the Earth. Power is provided by solar panels and portable batteries that are recharged at a main power bank. Tents are constructed only by employees, ensuring the least possible disturbance to the native wildlife and enabling the camp to be easily and quickly moved from location to location. “We’ll leave no trace,” Vincent says. “One storm, and the grassland will look like we’ve never been there.” 

To preserve the land, Usawa has forgone constructing sewage systems, employing a series of innovations to stay more eco-friendly. Toilets operate on portable septic systems, with waste routinely removed from the park or used to fertilize the grounds when possible. Filtered cold and hot water are supplied to guests throughout the day. Showers are especially clever in their operation, supplied by heated water that is manually fed into overhead buckets then funneled into taps. Simply pull the chain for a steamy cascade.

Usawa is not ADA compliant, which is typical for safari camps like this one.

To arrive at Serengeti National Park, travelers can fly via Hamad International Airport in Doha to Kilimanjaro International Airport, then connect from Arusha Airport to one of Serengeti National Park’s airstrip. Wilderness plans all itineraries end-to-end with VIP travel perks, including Al Maha service when flying with Qatar Airways. In Arusha, we stayed at Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge, a Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2020 winner set on a coffee farm. 

Usawa’s nine locations stretch from the southern Serengeti National Park to Tanzania’s northern border with Kenya. Up to three camps will operate simultaneously to allow guests to follow the great migration as closely as possible. Wilderness arranges guest stays based on predictions of the great migration path. 

How to Get the Most Value Out of Your Stay 

Safaris are admittedly costly, but Wilderness’s all-inclusive pricing includes everything: accommodations, unlimited meals and beverages, all activities, and transfers within Serengeti National Park. Wilderness also partners with airlines such as Qatar Airways to offer discounted flights for safari goers. Nightly rates at Usawa start at $950 per person, with a minimum two-night stay.

Serengeti Safari - Compare 2,511 Tours

The Serengeti is one of Africa’s finest safari destinations. Extending over 14,763km²/5,700mi² of undulating plains and isolated koppies (rocky hills), the Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest, largest and most famous national park. The Serengeti is renowned for hosting an annual migration comprising at least 2 million wildebeest, plains zebra and gazelle – the greatest spectacle of its type in Africa – but the immense plains are also home to unusually dense populations of lion, leopard, cheetah and other predators, while being possessed of a liberating sense of space best experienced on an early-morning balloon safari. A Serengeti safari trip will be a highlight of a visit to Tanzania.

7 Questions About Serengeti Safaris

Answered by

Philip briggs.

When is the best time to see the great migration?

“The migration through the Serengeti follows a reasonably predictable annual cycle, but there is also variation from one year to the next, dependent mainly on rainfall. If you are looking to see a horizonless column of braying wildebeest on the move, aim for the Western Corridor around June and July, when the migration heads towards the south bank of the Grumeti River before crossing it. More reliable for river crossings is the far north of the park around September, when massive herds make the treacherous crossing from one side of the Mara River to the other with logic-defying regularity. Over December to April, the wildebeest disperse into the southeast Serengeti, which is the most accessible part of the park from Arusha, but might still be seen in herds that stretch from one horizon to the other. These southeastern plains are the main wildebeest calving grounds, with peak calving season usually centered on January and February, a phenomenon that attracts high predator concentrations.”

What opportunities are there to meet local Maasai people?

“If your Serengeti holiday is restricted to the park itself, there will be no opportunities to meet Maasai people. This is because the Serengeti is a national park and people aren’t allowed to live there. That said, practically all drive-in Serengeti safaris pass through Maasai country en route from Arusha, while fly-in Serengeti safari packages usually incorporate a stop at Ngorongoro Conservation Area. In both cases, this offers safari-goers the opportunity to incorporate a visit to a Masaai manyatta (group of huts within an enclosure) into their Serengeti experience.”

How can I avoid the crowds on a Serengeti safari?

“The Serengeti is a vast reserve and it doesn’t usually experience the kind of crowding you get in the far smaller Masai Mara National Reserve across the border in Kenya. The one exception to this is the area around the park headquarters at Seronera, where any worthwhile sighting tends to attract a gaggle of safari vehicles responding to radio calls from other driver-guides. In addition, safari vehicles tend to congregate in whichever sector of the park is currently hosting the migration. The best way to avoid this is to limit the time you spend in the vicinity of Seronera, and to split your Serengeti safari package between two areas: one set in the heart of the migration, and the other somewhere unseasonal (for instance the far north between November and June, or the Western Corridor between August and October). It is also worth bearing in mind that April to May is the lowest season in the Serengeti due to the high rainfall, but it can be an excellent time to visit. In addition to being uncrowded, it is a very pretty time of year, and large numbers of wildebeest are usually present in the far south. Note, too, that roads around Seronera tend to be busiest during the peak wildlife-viewing hours of 7:30 AM to 10 AM and 2 PM to 4:30 PM. So, instead of breakfasting in camp, head out as early as possible – game drives are permitted from 6 AM onwards – with a packed breakfast to enjoy that magical first hour of daylight.”

What animals can I expect to see in the Serengeti?

“The Serengeti is great when it comes to both the variety and volume of wildlife. Over the course of a typical Serengeti safari, you can expect to see lion on a daily basis, and with luck you will also encounter a host of other carnivores including leopard (most common around Seronera), cheetah, spotted hyena, black-backed jackal, golden jackal and bat-eared fox. You might also be lucky enough to see secretive nocturnal creatures such as civet, serval, genet and African wildcat. Also certain to be seen on Serengeti tours are elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, plains zebra, wildebeest, Thomson’s gazelle, Grant’s gazelle, impala, Coke’s hartebeest and warthog. The localized patas monkey and black-and-white colobus are both resident in the Western Corridor. The black rhino is scarce and more likely to be seen in Ngorongoro Crater. More than 500 bird species have been recorded, among them the endemic grey-breasted spurfowl, Fischer’s lovebird, rufous-tailed weaver, Usambiro barbet and grey-crested helmet-shrike. The open plains are good for terrestrial giants such as ostrich, kori bustard, secretary bird and southern ground hornbill.”

How long is the drive to the park?

“Coming directly from Arusha, it is around 300km/186mi to the park headquarters at Seronera. The first half of this drive follows the same surfaced road that runs past Lake Manyara to the main eastern entrance of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). The second follows a rough and dusty corrugated track around the Ngorongoro Crater rim and western plains of the NCA. Allow at least six hours for the full drive, and ideally a full day. Note, however, that most Serengeti tours include overnight stops at Lake Manyara and/or Ngorongoro Crater, which helps to break up the trip.”

What condition are the roads in within the Serengeti?

“By any sensible international standards, the roads are terrible. It’s not a problem when you are on a relaxed game drive, but it can be tough going on longer drives between lodges and camps. If this sounds daunting, or you have a vulnerable back, think about booking a Serengeti safari package that includes flights into the park and between lodges and camps.”

What are the pros and cons of different accommodation types?

“Several types of accommodation are available on Serengeti safari tours. If you want to keep down costs, the cheapest option is a basic camping safari with a budget operator that will usually supply tents, sleeping bags and other gear, and no-frills meals. Serengeti is also serviced by a number of ‘hotel in the bush’ lodges operated by chains such as Serena and Sopa; these tend to be upper mid-range in price and offer high levels of comfort. They also tend to be designed to close out the bush at night, making them well suited to first-time safari-goers nervous about wildlife encounters. The park is also serviced by innumerable small lodges and tented camps (some permanent, others seasonal in order to follow the migration). These combine a medium to high level of comfort with a genuine bush atmosphere and a high probability of wildlife passing through, especially at night. Generally speaking, these smaller camps have prices that reflect the level of luxury and exclusivity they offer. Whichever option you go for, practically all Serengeti safari prices are all-inclusive and incorporate transport, game drives, park fees, accommodation and food.”
