TANZANIA · SLOW SAFARI
The Serengeti is not just any national park.
This vast nature reserve in Tanzania is one of the most extraordinary safari destinations in the world. It is no coincidence that the Serengeti has been named the best national park in the world year after year by Tripadvisor and awarded the Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Award. Thanks to the endless savannas, enormous concentrations of wildlife, and the world-famous Great Migration, you experience safari here as safari is meant to be: pure, adventurous, and right in the heart of nature.
Where nature is given plenty of space
The endless grasslands, scattered hilltops, rivers, and woodlands combine to form an impressive ecosystem. Precisely because there are no paved roads, the landscape remains untouched. Instead, you drive a robust 4×4 over unpaved tracks, while wildlife moves freely through the area.
4 reasons to visit Serengeti
- World-class wildlife: during various game drives, you have a chance to spot lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and hippos.
- The Great Migration: In addition, the Serengeti is the scene of the spectacular Great Migration. Millions of animals follow the rhythm of rain and grass and migrate through the ecosystem.
- Endless landscapes: furthermore, it is not only the wildlife that is impressive. The vast open plains, golden savannas, and characteristic kopjes constantly provide a spectacular backdrop.
- The big wild cats: finally, the central Serengeti around Seronera and Gol Kopjes is particularly interesting for predator enthusiasts.
How a day in the Serengeti feels
Imagine this: it is early in the morning. The sun is slowly rising above the savannah and the sky turns golden. Next, your 4×4 drives quietly along a dirt track. Suddenly, your guide stops.
Before you lies a lioness with her cubs.
Moments later, you see giraffes among the trees, while a group of zebras moves across the plains. Then the landscape changes again, and an enormous herd of wildebeest appears on the horizon.
It is precisely those unexpected moments that make a safari so special. You never know what awaits around the next bend. Moreover, nature dictates the pace. That is why a good safari is not about ticking off as many animals as possible as quickly as possible, but rather about looking, sometimes waiting, and then enjoying.

Tips for a visit to Serengeti
More than 2 nights in the Serengeti
Although a minimum of two nights is possible, we recommend staying in the Serengeti for at least three nights. Precisely because the area is so vast, it takes time to discover the diverse landscapes and wildlife areas. Furthermore, we arrange additional permits to access zones where few other tourists or businesses wish to go.
Must take enough time for the Serengeti
A common mistake is to view this merely as a brief stopover on a tour of Tanzania. However, as an absolute highlight, this national park deserves more attention.
When is the best time to visit?
The Serengeti is interesting all year round. However, the experience varies greatly depending on the time of year. Feel free to ask about our experience and tips.
Serengeti safari always with a private guide
Good planning makes all the difference. That is why we work exclusively with experienced private guides who know this area and can adapt to the circumstances of the moment.
