The best things to do in Serengeti

Witness the great migration

It is the best attraction all over Africa. The Serengeti migration is a highlight for many visitors to Tanzania. 

More than one million wildebeest and Zebras migrate each year to the Masai Mara in Kenya; it is an endless process in this park.

The migration remains in the Serengeti for an extended period. From July to September, you should take the front seat to witness the Mara River crossing. This is the drama you won’t dare to miss.

Timing is everything for the Serengeti migration in Tanzania. You should consider planning with your safari experts.  Our team will arrange your trip to Bologonja, Kogatende, or Lobo in the Serengeti.

Balloon Safari

For a little added romance on your trip, consider adding a hot-air balloon safari—nothing compares to the feeling of soaring several thousand feet above the plains of this park.

The complete view of the Serengeti from the sky is so unique.  The inhabitants’ view and the silence are remarkable. 

Most of these tours are optional. But you’d better think about it; nothing will beat the Serengeti hot-air balloon experience.

Sunrise Game Drive

Many of the Serengeti’s animals are most active during the cooler morning and evening hours.

This makes the sunrise game drive the perfect opportunity for game viewing. It’s easy to see wildcats and other animals either resting or moving.

If you’re intent on seeing African Wild Dogs, this is also the best time to spot the elusive pack hunters.

We allow unlimited game drives between 06:00 and 18:00 (park operating hours).  Ask your driver what you would like to see on a sunrise game drive, and he’ll make it happen.

Luxury Tented Camp & Lodges

Serengeti National Park offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and nature.  Serengeti provides all levels of accommodation.

The luxury tented camps of the Serengeti are popular year-round. The well-known camps, such as An’gata and Whisper, are the best places to stay.

Experience the authentic African safari by spending at least one night in a tented camp.

Whatever your budget, it wouldn’t be a visit to the Serengeti without at least one night in a tented camp.  But if you are visiting during the rainy season, a brick-and-mortar lodge is the

Camping experience

The experience of a camping safari is beyond imagination.  Is something primal and magical to tend on Serengeti? The sound of the wilderness arouses courage and adventure.

Blessing Safaris is an expert in arranging camping safaris. The fully equipped team will ensure your trip goes smoothly. Service from our best cook and guides is always guaranteed.

Camping on safari can be an excellent way for budget tours. However, we don’t recommend it during the rainy season.

General Travel Information

Our team carefully researched and focused on trips that attract people with the same interests and naturally get on well with each other through their shared interests.

Once you confirm your booking on a tour, you will be sent further practical information – packing tips, detailed itineraries, including advice on health, passport, and visa requirements, and minimum and maximum numbers of guests on tours.

Memorable meals are a hallmark of an excellent holiday. With the support of the best cooks, the quality of food and drink service is guaranteed. Depending on the service level or tour type you have chosen, a pre-discussion with your tour planner is a win-win for an enjoyable trip. Our cook accompanies other tours, and other services are included with our accommodation partners, including hotels, private camps, and luxury lodges.

The answer is absolute yes! The areas where safaris are organized are safe and free of political chaos. We conduct safaris in politically stable regions to ensure our clients’ safety and enjoyment.

Our Professional Safari Guides are well-trained about wild animal behaviors, and they have enough experience to lead our clients in the wilderness. Our vehicles are 4×4 Toyota Land Cruisers and Land Rovers with a hatchback roof to maximize visibility of the game.

African safaris offer unlimited sightseeing; millions of animals, birds, and plant life are the defining features of the African savanna. You roam across the countryside in search of Elephants, Lions, Rhinos, Cape buffalo, and Leopards (the so-called “Big Five”). On any given day, you will encounter Blue Wildebeests, Zebras, a large variety of antelope species, Gazelles, Giraffes, Baboons, and Hippos. The birdlife is fantastic – in some areas, up to 400 bird species have been identified! Think of the majestic Baobab tree (some tribes believe that the tree was indeed planted upside-down!), and there are hundreds of varieties of thorn trees! You will also see the acacia-dotted landscape, endless plains, majestic mountains, and the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises imaginable! Think of a late afternoon thunderstorm, short but violent, and then the beautiful rainbow.

Tanzania destinations are accessible year-round, but we recommend scheduling your safari during the dry season (July to October and December through February) for the best sightings, as grasses and bush are at their least dense. The green session includes March through June. Discuss with us the best option if you also plan to coincide with the Wildebeest Migration in Serengeti National Park.

(We suggest you remember) insect repellent (the best way to prevent malaria and other insect-borne diseases), sunscreen, cap or hat, sunglasses, binoculars, detergent powder if you want to wash some clothes yourself, hand-wipes small flashlight, aspirin, diarrhea medicine, rain jacket, poncho, or collapsible umbrella, plastic bags (for wet clothes, swimsuit and for keeping dust away from camera equipment), Kleenex/toilet tissue a neck chain for eyeglasses if you take them off to use binoculars and cameras, any medical prescription you need, masking tape or labels for marking exposed films cans, film, extra camera batteries.

Although more than 200 languages and dialects are spoken across Africa, this is not a problem, as English is widely spoken in East and Southern Africa. In addition to English, all our professional guides are multilingual, so we have you covered.

African safaris guarantee unlimited sightseeing; millions of animals, birds, and plant life are the core characters of the African savanna. You roam across the countryside in search of Elephants, Lions, Rhinos, Cape buffalo, and Leopards (the so-called “Big Five”). On any given day, you will encounter Blue Wildebeests, Zebras, a large variety of antelope species, Gazelles, Giraffes, Baboons, and Hippos.

Think of a late afternoon thunderstorm, short but violent, and then the beautiful rainbow.

This aspect is much overstated. You will rarely see a snake, but if you do, it will most likely be from the safety of your safari vehicle. Tents and lodges all have bug screens fitted to windows and doors. In most areas where bugs or mosquitoes are prevalent, rooms and tents are also equipped with mosquito nets, adding to the idealistic ambiance. Bear in mind that malaria is a threat in most wildlife areas, and it is necessary to consult your doctor for advice before embarking on your safari.

Tanzania destinations are accessible throughout the year but we advise you to take your tours during the dry session for the safari so as you can enjoy the best sightings at this time as the grasses and bush are at their least dense. July to October and December through February. The green session includes March through June. Discuss with us for the best option if you have also a plan to coincides with Wildebeest Migration in Serengeti National Park

Note – the migration is a natural event and the timing varies month by month; year by year. A good thing is it won’t happen in one day it takes time to complete. And we update most of our clients once the migration starts, so if your great desire is to witness the migration communicate with us in advance so as we can try our best to assure your encounter. Please note that the vast majority of travelers do not witness the wildebeest crossing of the Mara as the timing and duration varies widely each year. The best probable months are July, August, September

Around the turn of the century (until the ’30s and ’40s), mobile tenting was the only option, and “camp as you go” was the standard practice. Over the years the luxury connected with the traditional mobile tenting safari has increased. By the same token, one can understand that the cost of having a “luxury hotel” following one around in Africa is expensive. However, most people settle for permanent tented camps. Because they are “permanent” they can be equipped with flush toilets and traditional bathroom fixtures and conveniences. Don’t be misled by terminology – a permanent tented camp offers the comfort of a 5-star hotel but with the romance and adventure of being surrounded by the sights and sounds of Africa.
