Why Add the Serengeti?

From the rooftop of Africa to the endless savannah

After standing on Uhuru Peak at 5,895m, drop into the Serengeti — one of the most wildlife-rich landscapes on Earth. The contrast is staggering.

4 hours from Kili base

After descending from Uhuru Peak, you're in Arusha — the Serengeti is a short flight or drive away. No long transfers, no wasted days.

The Great Migration year-round

The Serengeti-Mara ecosystem hosts the world's largest mammal migration. Depending on your dates, you'll witness either the calving season (Jan–Mar), the river crossings (Jul–Oct), or permanent resident wildlife.

Big Five territory

The Serengeti is one of the last places on Earth where you can regularly see all Big Five in a single game drive. Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino — all here.

Private, not crowded

Our Serengeti camps are in exclusive conservancy areas adjacent to the main park. You get the wildlife spectacle without the convoy of tourist vehicles.

The Great Migration

When to time your Serengeti safari

The migration is a 365-day cycle. Here's what you can expect depending on when you travel.

January – March

Calving Season

1.5 million wildebeest drop their calves in the southern Serengeti (Ndutu area). Predator action is extraordinary — lions, cheetah, and hyena hunt the vulnerable newborns. Fewer tourists, intimate wildlife encounters.

April – June

Green Season

The herds move north through the central and western Serengeti. Landscapes are lush and green, photography is spectacular, and prices are lower. Short grass means excellent game viewing.

July – October

River Crossings

The herds reach the northern Serengeti and cross the Mara River — the most dramatic wildlife spectacle on Earth. Thousands drown crossing. Crocodiles wait below. Witnessing a crossing is unforgettable.

Common Questions

What travellers ask about this combo

How many days do I need for Kilimanjaro plus Serengeti?
Minimum is 10 days: 7 days for the Machame climb, 3 days for a Ngorongoro + Tarangire taste of the northern circuit. The sweet spot is 14 days: 8 days on Lemosho plus 5 days covering the Serengeti properly. For the full Serengeti experience with Great Migration timing, plan 21 days.
Should I climb Kilimanjaro before or after a Serengeti safari?
Almost always before. Climbing Kilimanjaro requires full physical fitness, mental clarity, and acclimatisation — all of which are compromised if you're fatigued from safari travel. Post-climb, your body will be tired but capable of game drives, which are far less strenuous than summiting a mountain.
What is the Great Migration and when can I see it?
The Great Migration is the annual movement of 1.5 million wildebeest plus zebra and gazelle across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. River crossings (the dramatic part) happen July to October in the northern Serengeti near the Mara River. The calving season, when predators hunt newborns, happens January to March in the southern Serengeti (Ndutu area).
How much does a Kili plus Serengeti safari cost?
Our combos start at $3,952 per person for a 10-day Machame + 3-day safari package. The 14-day Lemosho + extended Serengeti is $5,096/pp, and the 21-day Grand Tanzania is $7,488/pp. All prices are for private 2-person departures with your own guide and 4x4 vehicle.
Can I see the Great Migration from a Serengeti safari camp?
Yes, depending on timing. Our Serengeti camps are positioned along the migration route. In peak crossing season (July–October), you can hear the thundering herds from camp. In calving season (January–March), our Ndutu camp is in the heart of the action.
What if I don't summit — do I still get the Serengeti safari?
You do. We never cancel the safari component due to an early climb ending. Your Land Cruiser and guide are waiting regardless. The Serengeti is a profound Tanzania experience in its own right — many clients say their safari was the highlight of the trip even if the summit was elusive.
