Serengeti Safari Holidays

In the heart of the Serengeti is the wildlife-rich area of Seronera. Nicknamed the predator capital of the world, there’s a good chance you’ll spot lions, cheetahs and, if you’re lucky, a leopard or two. During the rainy season, between December and April, confusions of wildebeest also gather in Seronera. For a truly wild experience, you can camp in the open bush.

Formed by a giant volcanic eruption, the vast Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most spectacular stops on our Serengeti holidays. As you stare over the rim into the crater, you’ll see steep cliffs tumbling to the floor and extinct craters surrounding the valley. You might also see the Big Five: black rhinos, elephants, lions, buffalos and leopards.

One of the most dramatic spectacles in the animal kingdom, the Great Migration is one of the many reasons Serengeti holidays are so remarkable. It occurs between January and March, when millions of wildebeest, zebras, elands and gazelle begin their epic journey from the Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara in search of wetter grasslands.

Camping on a Serengeti safari holiday brings you closer to the wild side of Africa. The best campsites are those that aren’t protected by fences to keep the animals at bay. Imagine waking to the sound of an African Cape buffalo grazing by your tent or listening to the distant roar of a lion – this is a wildlife adventure you’ll never forget.

Waterholes are a great stop on any Serengeti safari, as animals gather around them day and night. This is particularly true during the dry season when water is scarce, making the period between June and October an excellent time to join a Serengeti safari − you might even get a glimpse of the elusive leopard.
