Serengeti National Park
Where Is The Serengeti
This wildlife refuge is located in north-central Tanzania adjacent to the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya with which it shares a border, and even though it's in a remote area it reasonably accessible.
By Road: Guided safaris normally start from the town of Arusha which is about an eight hour drive away from the park. Self drive safaris are possible but a 4x4 vehicle is essential.
By Air: For international travellers the best point of entry is Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) which lies between the towns of Moshi and Arusha. From here or Arusha Airport (ARK) its possible to fly-in to land at one of the seven airstrips in the Serengeti.
Trees & Plants
Over 314 plant species have been recorded in the park, with open savannah grassland dominating most of the region and acacia tree species being the most common.
Other tree species that occur are the sausage tree, yellow fever tree, fig tree and wild date palm.
Animals to See
The Serengeti is a wonderful place to see the big cats, lion, cheetah and leopard are commonly seen. So are elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, hyena, black-backed and golden jackal and Thomsons gazelle.
Wild dog and black rhino are very rare with white rhino not found here at all.
Accommodation
There are a variety of accommodation styles available in The Serengeti National Park from ultra luxurious lodges to permanent tented camps and mobile tented camps that follow the migration.
There are over 24 luxury lodges to choose from within the borders of the park itself and for the budget conscious traveller there are a total of eight public camps where you can pitch a tent overnight.
Weather & Climate
The climate here is moderate, never getting overly hot in African terms as the average maximum temperature is under 30° C (86° F). At night temperatures are cool to cold in winter.
The dry season runs from June to October every year and there are two wet seasons. The 'short rains' are from November to December, and the 'long rains' are from March to May.
Best Time To Visit Serengeti
Wildlife sightings are good all year round but there are some specific times when sightings are particularly good. The dry months from June to October offer the best general wildlife viewing.
And of course, the wildebeest migration that occurs around June, July and September offers spectacular sightings and also February, when the wildebeest calving season is in full swing.
