Our Serengeti holidays & tours

Our Serengeti holidays will have you unconsciously humming Toto’s “Africa” from spectacular sunrise to spectacular sunset, while by the end of a week your binoculars will feel like an extension of your own body. The Serengeti is the stuff of legend, a vast savannah traversed by a million wildebeest – zebras and gazelles in tow – during the annual Great Migration, one of the planet’s most thrilling sights. At 15,000km2, Tanzania’s oldest national park has space for lodges and camps to suit all tastes, and our Serengeti holidays choose accommodation that sources produce from local markets and growers, as well as using Maasai guides for safaris by vehicle and on foot, ensuring that tourism directly benefits surrounding communities. They also contribute to a range of environmental initiatives such as vital reforestation projects. You can combine our Serengeti tours with the beaches of Zanzibar, or the challenge of Mount Kilimanjaro. But whether you’re after adventure, wildlife or a splash of luxury, you can go in the confidence that your travels are helping to protect the Serengeti’s incredible landscapes, as well as the people and animals that depend on them.

Serengeti map & highlights

The biggest highlight of the Serengeti is, of course, the Great Migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and more. However, the Serengeti is far from a flash in the pan,’ one minute they’re here, the next they’re gone’ sort of wildlife experience. The Big Five are here to stay. The Serengeti National Park has one of biggest populations of lion in all of Africa. There are thousands of buffalo, elephants are omnipresent, hippos are forever hovering at rivers and lakes, and there are also the more elusive leopards and rhinos to catch a sighting of. So even when the gnu has gone, the Serengeti never sleeps.
Mara River

1. Mara River

The Mara River rises in the Kenyan Highlands, flows through the Serengeti, and, after nearly 400km, drains into Lake Victoria. Famously the most perilous crossing for wildebeest and other animals on the Great Migration, as predators lie in wait. As do wildlife watchers keen to see the greatest wildlife show on earth, staying in nearby camps to catch sight of hippos, Nile crocodiles, rare black rhino and many more.
Naabi Hill

2. Naabi Hill

A rocky outcrop just beside one of the main gates into the park, do hike up to the top for a smack-in-the-face panoramic view of what lies ahead. Bring binoculars for this one to spot giraffes or zebras in the distance. These rocky outcrops formed by erosion of the volcanic rock are known as kopjes and, once hunting vantage points, are havens for reptiles, birds and butterflies.
Ol Doinyo & Lake Natron

3. Ol Doinyo & Lake Natron

The Serengeti landscape is interrupted solely by the nearby Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano. Translated from Maa as ‘Mountain of God’, you do need almighty strength to climb it. Serengeti cycling holidays pass by, with an option of a guided climb. Although most are happy to enjoy views of this sizzling 2,878m cone from their campsite on the banks of nearby Lake Natron, famous for its flamboyance of flamingoes.
Serengeti National Park

4. Serengeti National Park

This is bow down, kiss the earth and worship the supreme one, when it comes to wildlife watching. Created in 1951, this legendary landscape protects 15,000km2 of vast plains, originally created to protect the lion population, but which led to the displacement of the Maasai. Today, this UNESCO site is home to lions, elephants, cheetah, giraffe, hippos, zebra, buffalo and the wondrous wildebeest.
Simba Kopje

5. Simba Kopje

The Serengeti has several rocky outcrops formed by erosion of the volcanic rock. Simba are the highest ones, also known as Lion Hill. Due to their elevated status these Serengeti royalty and their cheetah courtiers can monitor their magnificent kingdom from up above. Down below is a small hippo pool as well as Lake Magadi to the west, famous for its pink flamingoes.
The Great Migration

6. The Great Migration

Nearly two million wildebeest head north through the Serengeti, accompanied by thousands of gazelles, zebra and eland in search of greener pastures in Kenya’s Masai Mara from July-Oct. During this exquisite exodus, crocodiles, lions, cheetahs and hyena lie in wait at key vulnerable points. The main one is the Mara River but also the Mbalageti and Grumeti Rivers and the Ndutu, Masek and Lagarja Lakes.

Seeing so many lions close up and moving alongside a lioness and her three cubs for about half an hour as she patiently led them ,waiting for them t catch up. Watching about ten elephants wallowing in water and interacting with one another. When they lifted their heads out of the water they had weeds hanging from their tusks. Seeing great herds of wildebeest and zebra on the endless plains. We rate our holiday very highly. This was because is was so well planned by Ann and carried out by Abu -...read more

Great safari. We were five adults and had a blast. Our guide was very informative and patient with us. Special thanks to Ann. Answered all my questions and accommodated all the last minute changes when we could add our son-in-law to the trip and when our flight got cancelled the day before the trip started! read more
