The mobile camps follow the migration throughout the year. Basically, they have two or three ideal locations. All the mobile camps are tented so as to provide a more authentic and &#8216;real&#8217; safari experience. But let us tell you Luxury is not compromised though. There is nothing better than opening the front of your luxury tent in the morning and stepping straight out onto the plains of the Serengeti<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Permanent camps on the other hand are in fixed locations throughout the year. Thus might not be an ideal option if you want to witness the migration. The other animal population is so high in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lifetimesafaristz.com\/serengeti-national-park\"><strong>Serengeti National Park<\/strong><\/a>. Even though these camps may not have the migration near to them for a few months of the year or so. But you can still expect to see plenty of predators and other plains game. It is definitely necessary to chat to <strong>Serengeti Safari Guide<\/strong> to talk you through where the migration is and where the best camps are for the time of year you are looking to travel.<\/p>\n<p>The lodges and camps on the <strong>Serengeti National Park Safari<\/strong> do vary in price considerably, ranging from more affordable camps to the highly luxurious and pricey lodges.

Don&#8217;t leave your vehicle, don&#8217;t wander around outside the lodge\/camp perimeter, and don&#8217;t feed the animals.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How Much Does It Cost To Visit Serengeti National Park Safari?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lifetimesafaristz.com\/tanzania-holidays\">Tanzania Holidays<\/a>, in general,<\/strong>\u00a0are expensive to visit and <strong>Serengeti Safari<\/strong> is the most expensive along with Ngorongoro Crater. This is because of additional fees outside the park entry of USD$70.00 per day for adults ($24.00 for children under 13). There is also a special transit fee of $70.00 going in and out of the park. Camping is around $30.00 per person per day and vehicle entry is $30 per day too. All the lodges and tented camps are costly, around USD$500.00 for a double room or tent per night.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How Do You Get To The Serengeti National Park?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Fly to Kilimanjaro international airport (KIA) in Tanzania which is about 50 km from the town of Arusha. From there it&#8217;s a 4-hour drive north to get to the park.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How Many Days Do You Need In Serengeti Tours?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lifetimesafaristz.com\/serengeti-national-park\"><strong>Serengeti National Park<\/strong><\/a> is huge. So you should make plans to have three or four days to spend on <strong>Serengeti National Park Tours<\/strong> and go on <strong>Serengeti Safari<\/strong>. If you are into photography, you should stay a little longer to further make sure that you capture all that the park has to offer and get amazing photos. Your <a href=\"https:\/\/lifetimesafaristz.com\/tanzania-safari-guide\"><strong>Tanzania Safari Guide<\/strong><\/a> will help you plan your entire itinerary carefully.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What Is The Best Time Of Year To Visit Serengeti National Park?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Wildlife viewing is possible throughout the year in <strong>Serengeti Safari<\/strong>. Even though the animals don&#8217;t mind the rain. But tourists mostly prefer to go in the dry season from late June to October with the wildebeest migration in August an absolute highlight. Remember during the rainy season it might be cheaper in the lodges but the long grass makes it harder to spot animals.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What Animals Will You See In The Serengeti?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lifetimesafaristz.com\/serengeti-national-park\"><strong>Serengeti National Park<\/strong><\/a> hosts a massive diversity of wildlife, from the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and black rhino &#8211; to a great range of plains animals such as giraffe, Grant&#8217;s gazelle, impala, kongoni, topi, and eland to name a few. You will find the migration of over1.5 a million white-bearded wildebeest and 25,000 zebra and also for its numerous Nile crocodile and honey badger.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Which Is Better Serengeti Or Masai Mara?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The two parks are very different in size first of all. The Mara in Kenya is only about 1500 sq. km in size, but the Serengeti is 30,000 sq. km. But the north of Serengeti joins the Mara and becomes similar and hilly with more trees. The Serengeti is so vast that you cannot doubt its sheer variety and abundance of wildlife. Plus you can really find the classic &#8216;plains of Africa&#8217; here.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How Many Lions Are There In Serengeti?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Serengeti has the largest population of lions in Africa, an estimated 3000 in the whole park which is 5700 sq. miles in size. Being such a huge area you do have to look for them though, but it&#8217;s undeniably worth it when you do. Large pride on the open plains is what people come here for.<\/p>\n<p>We understand that Covid-19 is a concern for everyone, so we will provide you with Safety policies for the lodges and camps should you be keen to travel.
