Serengeti day trip

Safari summary

This 1-day Serengeti safari from Mwanza begins early in the morning, around 5:30 a.m., and takes 2 to 3 hours to drive from Mwanza. The price ranges from $300 to $500 per person. Some of the animals that can be seen during the safari include lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, and various species of antelope. Additionally, you may also have the chance to spot some of the smaller predators, such as foxes and jackals, as well as a wide range of bird species. Keep in mind that wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but a knowledgeable guide can greatly increase your chances of spotting these magnificent creatures.

The best time to visit Serengeti National Park largely depends on what you would like to see and experience.

The dry season, from late June to October, is the best time for wildlife viewing, as animals tend to congregate around water sources. This is also the time when the Great Migration is usually in the Serengeti, providing a spectacular wildlife spectacle.

The short rainy season, from November to December, can also be a good time to visit, as it is still relatively dry and there are fewer tourists. The landscape is also lush and green, providing beautiful scenery for photography.
