Why Choose a Luxury Safari in the Serengeti?
The Serengeti is home to one of the largest wildlife populations in the continent coupled with some of the best game viewing in the world. Venturing here offers game viewing like no other destination.
However, the only thing that sets it apart is the manner in which you experience it. Traveling with a luxury safari offers you comfort that is refreshing and brings you closer to the wild without compromising style.
For our guests, experiencing Serengeti luxury safaris offers them a deep connection while being well taken care of. It allows guests to wake to the sounds of distant lions, enjoy coffee while giraffes frolic nearby, and retreat to a suite prepared just for them. It is travel devoid of stress and filled with breathtaking moments.
We also understand that individuals do not simply wish to “see” the Serengeti, but actively “feel” a part of the wonder it offers. Therefore, we ensure to make a few moments meaningful. Your guide will take care of private sundowners, hot air balloons at dawn, and a lunch under a Baobab tree. These moments not only add value to the trip, but also create lasting and unforgettable memories. We customize the safari to every traveler’s pace, preferences, and vision of Africa.
Best time to visit the Serengeti
The Serengeti is a year-round safari wonder with the utmost magical offerings at any time of the year, but best depends on what you want to see. Each season offers something different, and we help you choose the perfect window based on your interests.
Wildlife can be spotted effortlessly around water bodies from June to October. This marks the peak season for the Great Migration in the northern Serengeti, particularly the spectacular river crossings around Mara. This season is perfect for those wishing to witness herds of wildebeests risk their lives crossing waters swarming with crocodiles.
The southern Serengeti is usually active from December to March for the northern migration of the herds, during calving season. This is the period of maximum activity for the wildebeest as well as the predators. The vivid green terrain is perfect for capturing pictures. This is also the best time if you want to avoid the crowds.
The months of April, May, and November act as transition months. April to November does not always guarantee the best weather, along with little to no tourists and more appealing offers. The foliage from the rains is refreshing, birds are abundant, and luxury lodges have incredible offers. This period offers peace for the ever-busy travelers, allowing them to disconnect from the world with the option of seclusion.
Serengeti Luxury Safari Best Tips
- Wear appropriate safari attire: Make sure to bring a wide brim hat, sunglasses, sunblock, and animal-colored clothes. They will greatly assist you during your trip. Binoculars will also be useful to view distant birds and animals.
- Book as early as possible: Booking camps and guides during July and August is very challenging. If you book six to nine months in advance, you are more likely to get the camps and guides of your choice.
- Book exclusive Private safari: To get the very best of your luxury Serengeti safari, book a private vehicle gives you freedom to decide. Wish to wait longer with the lions or skip a lions sighting? No issues. You can decide how your day proceeds.
- Do not miss the hot air balloon excursion: Though it is optional, it is not to be missed. You will have the unforgettable experience of drifting above the plains during sunrise.
- Interact with your guide: Guides are more than just drivers. They are emotional guides: storytellers, conservationists, and friends. Expect them to be knowledgeable about the land, the animals, and even their personal lives.
- A gentle pace is best: Do not attempt to cover every part of the Serengeti. Spending a few days at every camp will yield more magical experiences. The beauty is often found in stillness.
- Add other parks to the Serengeti: This can be done with the beaches of Zanzibar, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. This will make your safari a more complete experience.
- Make sure to drink enough water and apply sunblock: Even in luxury tents, it can get hot during the day. We provide shaded areas and cool drinks, but these tips are still helpful.

Serengeti Luxury Safari (What to expect)
We take you beyond the stunning landscapes and wildlife encounters to the iconic locations and experience of a life time. There is much to do, and much to see with the surprises in the Serengeti, and we take you through it all.
Start with a sunrise game drive as a way of setting the trail of gathering the experiences. The early hours is the most promising time as most actions are going on on the different classes of wildlife. This includes lions coming back from a preys, hyenas creeping in the grassland, and so on. This is all raw. With a personal guide who is encouraging you to follow the pace you desire, you learn as you go.
While camp is set up for guests, breakfast is taken al fresco, sometimes with giraffes and zebras in view. It is far from your typical buffet style meal. Here, you will be served coffee while basking in the delicious aromas of the freshly baked pastries and tropical fruits.
In the afternoons, you may opt for a walking safari with a licensed armed ranger. It allows you to appreciate the slower side of nature, and observe the many tracks, birds, insects, and plants that go unnoticed from a vehicle. You are also briefed on animal behavior, the local plants, and the delicate ecosystem.
As the sun sets, you will likely do a sundowner. Your guide will pick a beautiful area where you can toast to the day while basking in the gold and purple painted sky, and your guide snacks and drinks will be served. It is a timeless experience.
Some evenings will be set aside for cultural visits with the Maasai. Here, you can meet people from the local communities, listen to their stories, and understand the intertwining of their lives with the vast Serengeti. They are not designed for tourists, and thus, are authentic encounters.
And the hot-air balloon safari is something we always advocate. It starts before dawn, and by sunrise, you are in the air. The tranquility and beauty of drifting over vast herds of wildebeests and zebras is breathtaking. You enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush after landing.
At night, gather with other guests around the campfire under the stars. Share stories, listen to the tranquility of the wild. No phones, distractions, Just you and the wild. The simple pleasure of being in the moment.
