A concise, two-day immersion into Serengeti wildlife, starting from Mwanza. Expect sunrise and sunset game drives, nights at Nyani public campsite, and guided viewing from an open-roof 4x4.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the 4x4 at first light and the plain exhales — a slow, dry breath that lifts dust into gold. The air still remembers Lake Victoria, just an hour and a half behind you, but here the horizon is a map of grasses and kopjes where lions fold into the rock. This is the Serengeti on a two-day rhythm: long drives, short nights around a campfire, and two full days of game drives timed for the slice of daylight when predators move and the plains reveal themselves.

History
The Serengeti’s protected boundaries were shaped in the mid-20th century to safeguard migratory routes; pastoralist Maasai communities have long influenced land use patterns here.
Conservation
Park entry fees support anti-poaching and community programs; minimize impact by following guides’ instructions, avoiding single-use plastics and respecting wildlife distances.

Early starts pay off
Game activity is highest at dawn and dusk; be ready for 5:00–6:00 a.m. departures and pack a warm layer for early drives.
Dress for dust and sun
Light, long sleeves protect against sun and dust; a wide-brim hat and high-SPF sunscreen are essential.
Bring binoculars and camera kit
A 70–200mm equivalent zoom and binoculars will get you close to distant herds without disturbing wildlife.
Hydration and local cash
Carry a refillable water bottle and small Tanzanian shillings for tips and incidentals at campsites.
Binoculars (8x–10x)
Essential for spotting animals at distance during long game drives.
Warm layer (fleece or down jacket)
Mornings and nights at camp can be chilly even after hot days.
Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, SPF 50)
Open-roof vehicles and midday sun make strong protection critical.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Comfortable shoes for short walks around the campsite and uneven terrain.
