Serengeti National Park Safari

A Serengeti National Park safari is well known for hosting a portion of the Great Migration. Each year, millions of wildebeest travel through the plains, followed by zebra, gazelle, and other animals. Predators use this magnificent gathering as cover to plot attacks; lions may follow them or crocodiles may strike as they cross rivers.
There are several creatures to witness, ranging from the well-known Big 5 (lion, rhino, leopard, buffalo, and elephant) to an amazingly diverse birdlife, so there is always something to appreciate around every corner.

How much does a safari in Serengeti cost?

A Serengeti safari will depend on various factors, including but not limited to where you stay, when you're visiting, and what activities you wish to partake in. However, the price per person per day is usually around $500–$2,500.
