More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The little Cessna hums low over the Indian Ocean and then, almost without fuss, turns inland: a square of rust-colored scrub, a scattering of termite mounds, and then the Serengeti’s broad horizon. You step from the airstrip into dry heat that smells like dust and wild grass; fifteen minutes later a Toyota jeep lowers the canvas roof and the Serengeti opens like a plain opera. Vultures wheel above a distant carcass, zebras slice the horizon in a striped river, and your guide clicks off radio calls while the engine idles — the first of two full days inside the park.

History
The Serengeti has been a landscape of movement for millennia — Maasai herding cultures shaped local routes and 20th-century conservation established protected corridors.
Conservation

Reserve your spot on the From Zanzibar:3-Day World-Famous Serengeti Safari and Flight today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Book early — small aircraft seating
Flights to Seronera run on small planes with limited seats; confirm domestic flight details early and be flexible with times.
Layer for temperature swings
Mornings and evenings are cool while mid-day can be hot — bring a warm layer for game drives and a hat for sun protection.
Carry cash for tips and extras
Park shops are limited; bring small Tanzanian shillings or USD for guide tips, souvenirs, and unexpected fees.
Protect your gear from dust
Use zippered camera bags and lens cloths; sand and engine dust are the main threats during open-roof drives.
Binoculars
Compact binoculars let you pick out distant prides, birds and subtle landscape features from the jeep.
Sun hat & sunscreen
High sun exposure on the plains makes head protection and SPF essential for mid-day drives.

Dust-proof camera bag
