We’ve gathered the most common questions travelers ask about the Serengeti, Tanzania safaris, and Asanja Africa luxury camps.
Yes, the Serengeti is safe to visit when you follow park rules and listen to your guide. Wildlife incidents are extremely rare, and safaris are designed to respectfully view animals in their natural habitats. Camps like Asanja Africa provide trained guides and staff escorts after dark for added safety.
Serengeti National Park is very safe for tourists. Professional guides accompany you on all activities, and camps ensure secure accommodation. The main safety rule is to remain in vehicles during game drives and respect wildlife distances.
The Serengeti is world-renowned for the Great Wildebeest Migration, the largest land migration on earth. It’s also home to East Africa’s highest concentration of predators, including around 3,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, and nearly 8,000 hyenas.
The Serengeti is in northern Tanzania, bordering Kenya’s Maasai Mara to the north and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the south.
Several factors contribute to safari costs:
The Serengeti ecosystem has about 3,000 lions, living in prides of 15–20 members. It’s one of the best places in the world to see lions in the wild.
No, Mount Kilimanjaro is not in the Serengeti. It’s about 100 miles away, near Moshi. Many travelers combine a Kilimanjaro trek with a Serengeti safari for a complete adventure.
The closest major city is Arusha, known as Tanzania’s safari capital. Most visitors take a short flight or scenic drive from Arusha to reach the Serengeti.
The migration is year-round but highlights include:
It’s a safari following millions of wildebeest and zebras across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Staying at Asanja Africa camps places guests near key migration routes and river crossings.
Tanzania’s Serengeti hosts the migration for about 9 months of the year, while Kenya’s Maasai Mara hosts the herds for about 3 months. For longer safari opportunities, Tanzania is often preferred.
Safari costs depend on season and style:
