Serengeti National Park
Nearly 100,000 foreign visitors from all over the world come to Serengeti each year. Add to that the massive number of locals who visit the wildlife paradise all the time. The incredible influx of visitors is not a shocker. With idyllic savannas that go as far as the eyes can see; amazing wildlife concentration and activity including one of the largest and most diverse large predator-prey interactions in the world; action-packed game drives; and the iconic Great Migration, Serengeti is easily one of the world’s finest safari parks.
What to expect in Luxury Safaris
Serengeti National Park holds a myriad of accommodation options that range from budget to mid-range to luxury. For budget, it is almost a given that this type is a no-frills safari with only the basic amenities or even down to roughing it out in a bivouac tent. Mid-range offers a little more than that. A little more comfort, a little more space. But, what about luxury safaris? Is it really like the ones we see in brochures?
â—˜ High living in the midst of the wild
Can you imagine yourself in the middle of wilderness where animals are roaming freely, lions are roaring nearby and birds are chirping and humming tunes? Now place an exclusive piece of property amid all that… It could be a lavish lodge or a grand tented camp strategically located to provide you the best Serengeti views and the best seats to the magic that’s bound to happen in the park.
Having spent an entire day of game driving and wildlife viewing, having a soothing shower and being able to collapse in bed for a good night’s sleep are certainly a luxury you will not miss. It’s a good thing luxury tented camps and lodges feature comfortable large beds, ensuite bath with Western style toilets and hot showers, huge vanities, superior quality sheets and a private veranda that looks out into a phenomenal view of the iconic Serengeti.
You will think that because you are in the wild, you won’t be able to experience such luxuries, right? But luxury safaris redefine the ordinary. You even get to enjoy an internet connection!
â—˜ Delightful banquet all day
Luxury Safaris include meals of your entire stay, from breakfast to lunch to tea time to dinner! You will be able to savor different flavors of local and international cuisine, all prepared by savvy chefs that work around the clock to provide each guest a gastronomic feast. Dietary restrictions may also be accommodated. Of course, you need to inform them ahead of time.
Breakfasts and dinners are usually served buffet style, and lunches are usually done as lovely picnics between your game drives. The food spread is also guaranteed to come from fresh meats and fishes, with most of the fishes caught from Lake Victoria. Pancakes, pasta, chicken, fruits, salads, stews and white bread sandwiches are staple food choices.
â—˜ Unique dining options
Apart from the typical dining setups, there are special dining options that you can experience as well. Whether you are dining with a group or you are out on a wild dinner date with your loved one, bush dinners or breakfasts are classic. Bush dinners or breakfasts allows you to enjoy your meal while reveling in the picturesque natural scenery of the Serengeti landscape. A table or two is typically set up for you and depending on your request, fine wines, liquor or champagne may also be served.
Another dining option would be barbecue, which is particularly popular among group travelers. Grilling facilities are usually available upon request, depending on the property.
â—˜ Wilderness at a stone’s throw away
Serengeti National Park is a massive park with unfenced borders which means animals are free to roam around its plains, in and out. And with a record-breaking wildlife density and concentration, it is only natural to hear lions close, rhinos or elephants wander through your camp at night, or even witness an animal interaction!
â—˜ Never-to-forget experiences
Serengeti by itself is an adventure of a lifetime — from its wildlife and landscapes to its dreamy stars at night, gorgeous sunrises and inspiring sunsets. What makes the Serengeti even greater is that other iconic Tanzania destinations is easily accessible!

â—˜ Home of Africa’s Seventh Natural Wonder
Serengeti National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous across the globe for hosting the world’s largest inland animal movement: The Great Wildebeest Migration. The iconic migration displays about 2 million wildebeests, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 Thomson’s gazelles along with thousands of kudus and impalas in a survival run to chase greener pastures. As they move from one place to another around the Serengeti ecosystem, opportunistic predators like lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, Nile crocodiles and savage hippos lurk around for a hard-earned meal.
As Luxury Safaris provide you the luxury of staying in a perfect location in the Serengeti, this allows you courtside seats to some of the most incredible wildlife events in the Serengeti — including the action-packed river crossings.
