A Serengeti safari would be the ideal holiday plan for people who love adventure and want to discover what lies beyond the tremendous African vastness or explore nature. A savannah expedition offers a peek at the wildlife in its natural habitat. Moreover, the breathtaking landscape will indeed remain in your memories for years.
So, let's explore why you should choose the Serengeti trip and how to prepare for it.
- Why should you go on savannah safari?
When you choose to visit this national reserve, you can view the lush green landscape, with a vast array of wildlife, such as the Big Five, in their untouched habitat. You can witness the great migration and authentic and untamed fields, mile after mile.
- When should you visit?
The best time to visit is from January to March and again from June to October, which is considered to be the dry season and is a good time to witness a variety of animals and birds. However, if you want to enjoy the sporadic rain, then go for November to December and April to May, which is the perfect time to witness the transition of wildness and the vast land surrounding it.
- How do you get to Serengeti National Park?
Visiting Serengeti National Park requires careful planning. You must know about the transport facilities and explore different options, such as driving safaris, guided safaris, or a combination of both. Try to include all the prime locations in your itinerary and sort out the budget required for domestic flights and road transfers to maintain a smooth transition between the locations.
- How do I choose the right accommodation?
You must be right about the accommodation when you are on a savannah expedition at this national park. You can choose luxury lodges, tented camps, or mobile camps based on your preference and budget. There are different options available in these areas that allow you to witness the wildlife movement. You must prioritize comfort and select accommodations to make your adventure holidays memorable.
- What can you expect on this trip?
When you go on a Serengeti trip, you encounter the iconic wildlife of Africa. There is a vast array of wildlife, and you also see the Big Five—elephants, buffalos, lions, leopards, and rhinos—all within the same terrain. Other intriguing species are seen moving around gracefully. You embark on a journey of learning and breathtaking natural wonders.
- What should you pack for the safari?
When packing for the trip, you must not forget the essentials, such as lightweight, breathable clothing in a neutral color; if you are visiting the park during the wet season, do not forget to take rain covers. Sturdy walking shoes, a first aid kit, sunscreen, insect repellent, and binoculars for spotting wildlife are necessary.
Summing it up
Before you go out into the wild:
- Take necessary precautions based on your health and safety.
- Get all the vaccinations and all the preventive medications, keep a guide who can help you regarding the wildlife you encounter, and keep travel insurance to cover all your medical expenses during emergencies.
- Stay informed and prepared.
Besides the aspects listed above, you must also consider the crowd, your fascination for birdwatching, and your budget while planning a savannah adventure.
