How many days you should spend for Safari exploring the Serengeti national park in Tanzania?

Answering how long you should stay in Serengeti can be challenging as this question might be very subjective depending on your timetable and budget.

Here you will get some facts based on the nature of the area and finally, you can decide the number of days you can spend in park of Serengeti.

First of all, you should bear in your mind the Serengeti ecosystem consists of Manyara national park, Ngorongoro crater, and other game-controlled areas including lake Natron therefore you should be very specific about how many places you wish to visit.

On the first day, you arrived at Kilimanjaro international airport, you will be picked up by your tour operator and drive you about 137 km to the Manyara gate. Or if you arrived at night, you will be taken to your hotel to rest and start the journey the following day.

At Manyara gate, you will pay park fees for you, tour guides, and vehicle to enter the park but normally if you booked through a tourism company you find all these fees were included in your invoice so your tour operator will clear everything for you.

On your second day, you can just go to visit the Manyara national park and Ngorongoro crater, you can spend some hours there and in the evening return back to your hotel, camping, or camping in the wild depending on your preference and arrangement.

On The third day of your vacation, you will start a drive to the Serengeti park and on the following fourth day do a game drive for two days morning and evening sessions, this will give you higher chance to see rare animals like leopards and rhinos.

Moreover, after arrival to Tanzania the first day you can go right away to Serengeti park, the second day you do a game drive for 3-4 hours then you exit the park.

During your Honeymoon Safari in Serengeti, Leopard can be the most difficult animal to view because it is shy and a solo hunter hence prefers to stay in shadowed areas. Sometimes you may have to stay close to the river bank and wait to see a leopard when going to drink water.

If you are running short of time or funds. you can spend 3 days visiting the Serengeti ecosystem; from Manyara gate-Lake Manyara-Ngorongoro crater and and two days visiting the Serengeti national park.

The first day you arrived at the park the next day you do a game drive and exit the park with this timetable, you will get no time to walk around and explore a lot just a game drive and run.

A minimum of 3 days is suitable for you to be able to explore the national park, the first day you arrive at Serengeti, the two days do a game drive and exit the park.

however, there is no maximum number of days for you to stay in the park a vacation. this all depends on your timetable and funds.
