Serengeti National Park Tours & Trips

Demographics

Our small group safaris running 3-7 days work perfectly for solo travelers - you'll join just 7-8 like-minded adventurers who often become friends by trip's end. Expert guides like Flavian know all the prime spots to position vehicles for capturing those perfect shots of big cats, elephants and also wildebeest. Solo guests tell us they love having everything sorted out, from the Kenya-Tanzania border crossings to quality stays at places like Ngorongoro Wildcamp. Everyone's favorite part? The shared dinners at camp, trading stories about what you spotted that day while the African night comes alive around you.

Couples can choose from 6-day classic safaris or extended 12-day journeys that blend romance with wilderness. Many pick tours featuring intimate tented camps where you'll watch the sun sink below the horizon from your private deck. Our guides Justin and Mark have a knack for creating those special moments - setting up surprise drinks in the bush or finding quiet spots away from other vehicles to watch lions on the hunt. The mix of adventure and comfort works beautifully according to TourRadar customers - track cheetahs across vast plains by day, then return to quality lodges for dinner by candlelight. Several routes include visits to local coffee plantations or sessions with Maasai artisans where you'll learn traditional crafts together.

Young adults gravitate towards our 3-day fly-in safaris that maximize wildlife viewing while minimizing travel time. These quick-hit tours let you spot the Big Five straight from Zanzibar, with comfortable tented camps putting you right in the heart of the action. TourRadar customers appreciate how the guides balance serious wildlife knowledge with fun, social elements - they'll track leopards at dawn then set up perfect sunset viewing spots where the group can hang out together. The week-long camping safaris also work well for this age group; you'll fall asleep to lion calls from your secure tent and wake up for sunrise game drives when predators are most active. The mix of intense wildlife encounters and cultural experiences hits the mark - from watching dramatic river crossings to learning traditional dances in Maasai villages and exploring local markets. Our guides like Aboh and David earn consistent praise for their deep knowledge, tracking skills and ability to create a laid-back yet adventurous atmosphere where everyone feels involved in spotting wildlife.

Our classic 6-day Tanzania safaris hit the sweet spot for seniors, balancing excellent wildlife viewing with thoughtful touches and comfort throughout. Starting in Tarangire National Park's rich landscapes, travelers spot elephants, lions and varied birdlife from vehicles chosen for their smooth suspension and optimal viewing positions. TourRadar customers often mention guides like Flavian, who knows exactly how to position vehicles for the best photos while adapting the pace to suit the group. The accommodations blend traditional safari lodges with upscale camps, and properties like Ngorongoro Wildcamp get consistent praise for attentive service and well-appointed rooms. Cultural elements add depth through optional Maasai village visits, carefully selected to avoid challenging terrain. The itineraries cleverly build in downtime between game drives, whether that's evening drinks on private decks or sharing tales over dinner in the lodges. The route flows naturally from Tarangire to Ngorongoro, Serengeti and beyond, keeping drive times manageable while maximizing chances to see black rhinos, lions, zebras, wildebeest and also diverse birdlife across the parks' most accessible areas.

Families do really well on our longer Serengeti tours that run 7-8 days - it gives kids time to ease into safari life. The camping inside national parks creates moments your children won't forget, like hearing lions roar in the distance from their cozy, secure tent. Between game drives, you'll visit Maasai villages where warriors perform traditional dances and kids get hands-on learning about local life. The Meserani Snake Park and Masai Cultural Museum keep younger visitors engaged when they need a break from wildlife spotting. Our guides Peninnah, Sue and Walter know exactly how to pace things for families, making sure everyone gets good views while explaining animal behaviors in kid-friendly ways.
