Serengeti National Park Honeymoon Safari
When people dream of Africa, they tend to dream of the Serengeti. The honey-lit plains stretching to a horizon that seems impossibly far away. The silence interrupted by the low rumble of a distant lion. The sky at sunset turning shades of amber and deep rose over a landscape that has looked exactly like this for millions of years. A Serengeti honeymoon safari is not simply a holiday. It is the beginning of a marriage or a long lasting relationship placed inside one of the last truly untouched natural wonders on earth, and the memory of it will follow you for the rest of your life together.
Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is the most celebrated wildlife destination on the African continent and the stage for the Great Wildebeest Migration, the largest overland movement of animals on earth. It covers nearly 15,000 square kilometres of open savannah, riverine forest, and granite kopje country, and supports over 2 million ungulates, 3,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 550 cheetahs, and more than 540 bird species. For couples planning a Tanzania safari holiday, it is the destination against which all others are measured.
Africa Bed of Roses Safaris is the best Tanzania honeymoon tour company for couples who want a Serengeti safari holiday that goes beyond the standard itinerary. We design Serengeti honeymoon safari packages from the ground up, drawing on deep knowledge of the park’s seasonal rhythms, its best camps, and the specific experiences that make a Tanzania honeymoon safari genuinely extraordinary. From the Grumeti River crossings to a private candlelit dinner under the stars, every detail of your Serengeti honeymoon holiday is built around you.

About Serengeti National Park
Why the Serengeti Is Perfect for a Honeymoon Safari
The Serengeti works as a honeymoon destination for reasons that are both practical and deeply emotional. Practically, it offers the greatest concentration of wildlife in Africa, a variety of accommodation from intimate tented camps to ultra-luxury lodges, and a range of activities that give couples far more than game drives to fill their days. Emotionally, the Serengeti delivers something harder to articulate: a sense of scale and wildness and beauty that makes two people feel very small and very alive at the same time, and that shared feeling creates a bond that no other kind of travel quite manages.
A Serengeti honeymoon safari also offers genuine variety within a single destination. The different sectors of the park, from the southern calving plains to the western corridor’s Grumeti River crossings to the northern Mara region, each have their own character and their own best season. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris designs Serengeti honeymoon safari packages that move couples through more than one area of the park, giving them the full depth of the ecosystem rather than a single fixed-camp view.
The Tanzania safari holiday experience also sits within a broader East Africa context that is uniquely compelling for honeymooners. The Serengeti can be combined with the Ngorongoro Crater, with Zanzibar’s white-sand beaches and warm Indian Ocean waters, with Tarangire’s ancient baobabs and elephant herds, or with a Kenya Masai Mara extension for those who want the complete migration circuit across both countries. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris manages all of these combinations as the best Tanzania honeymoon tour company operating across the region.

The Great Migration
The Great Wildebeest Migration is the event that defines the Serengeti in the world’s imagination, and with very good reason. More than 1.5 million wildebeest, 300,000 gazelles, and 200,000 zebra move in a continuous annual circuit through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, following the rains and the nutritious grasses they bring. The journey covers approximately 800 kilometres in a clockwise loop through Tanzania and Kenya, and every phase of it offers a different and extraordinary experience for couples on a Serengeti honeymoon safari.
The calving season on the southern Serengeti plains between January and March is one of the most spectacular phases for Tanzania safari holidays, when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest calves are born within a few weeks of each other. Predators concentrate in extraordinary numbers and cheetah, lion, wild dog, and hyena are all highly active. The western corridor Grumeti River crossings between May and July deliver one of the Serengeti’s most dramatic moments, as massive columns of wildebeest up to 40 kilometres long plunge into a river guarded by enormous Nile crocodiles. The northern Mara River crossings between July and September, shared between the Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara, are the most iconic and most photographed moments of the entire migration cycle.
Africa Bed of Roses Safaris designs Serengeti honeymoon safari packages that position couples in the right part of the park at the right time of year to maximise their migration experience. We are also honest about the unpredictability of nature. River crossings can last thirty minutes and happen without warning. Large herds can be in a completely different location than expected due to unusual rainfall patterns. Our approach is to manage expectations honestly while ensuring that every Serengeti safari holiday we design delivers extraordinary wildlife regardless of whether a river crossing occurs.
The Best Areas of the Serengeti for Your Honeymoon Safari?
The Serengeti is too large and too varied to treat as a single destination. Different sectors of the park offer profoundly different experiences at different times of year, and one of the most important things a Serengeti honeymoon tour company can do for couples is to select the right area at the right time. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris knows each sector of the Serengeti intimately and designs Serengeti honeymoon safari packages that put couples in the best position to experience what the park has to offer on their specific travel dates.
01
Southern Serengeti and Ndutu: Calving Season
The southern Serengeti, including the Ndutu area near the Ngorongoro boundary, is the most accessible part of the park and the setting for the calving season between January and March. During these months the short-grass plains are carpeted with wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle, and the predator activity is among the most intense in the entire Serengeti ecosystem. Cheetah, lion, leopard, and wild dog are all regularly encountered at very close range. The southern Serengeti is also the easiest sector to combine with a Ngorongoro Crater visit, making it a natural anchor for a multi-destination Tanzania safari holiday.
03
Northern Serengeti and the Mara River: The Great Crossing
The northern Serengeti, including the Lamai Wedge and the Mara River area, is the most remote and least visited sector of the park and the setting for the most dramatic phase of the Great Migration between July and September. The Mara River crossings are the iconic moments of the entire migration cycle, and the northern Serengeti is the best place in Tanzania to witness them. This sector also allows walking safaris and off-road game drives that are not permitted in the main park, making it an exceptional choice for Serengeti honeymoon safari packages that prioritise exclusivity and a full range of activities. Rhino sightings, while never guaranteed anywhere in the Serengeti, are most likely in the northern sector.
05
Eastern Serengeti and Namiri Plains
The eastern Serengeti is one of the quietest and most rewarding sectors of the park for couples who want a more exclusive Serengeti honeymoon holiday away from the main tourist routes. The open plains of the eastern sector are among the finest cheetah habitat in the entire Serengeti ecosystem, and the iconic images of lions resting on granite kopjes are most reliably found here. The eastern Serengeti also provides excellent grazing for migrating wildebeest between December and March, drawing large predator concentrations during the calving season. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris recommends the eastern Serengeti as a complement to a western or northern sector stay for couples who want the full range of Tanzania safari holiday experiences.
02
Western Corridor and Grumeti: The First River Crossing
The western corridor stretches towards Lake Victoria and is bisected by the Grumeti River, home to some of the largest Nile crocodiles in Africa and the scene of the first major river crossing of the migration between May and July. The western corridor is significantly less visited than the central and southern Serengeti, which makes it an ideal choice for couples who want the excitement of the migration with a more exclusive and intimate safari experience. The camps in the western corridor, particularly those within the privately managed Singita Grumeti Reserve, are among the finest in Tanzania and are a natural fit for a luxury Serengeti honeymoon safari package.
04
Central Serengeti and Seronera
The central Serengeti around the Seronera River Valley is the most accessible and most visited part of the park, and for good reason. The valley creates a natural boundary between the grassy southern plains and the wooded northern hills, drawing wildlife from both habitats and creating one of the richest ecosystems within the park. Lions and cheetahs are regularly encountered at close range, leopards are frequently seen in the acacia trees along the Seronera River, and the central location gives easy access to all other sectors of the park. Seronera is the best base for a Serengeti safari holiday that prioritises year-round resident wildlife over specific migration timing.
What to Do in the Serengeti as a Couple
Africa Bed of Roses Safaris designs Serengeti honeymoon safari packages that give couples a rich and varied experience across their time in the park. The Serengeti offers more than most visitors realise beyond the game drive, and the best Tanzania honeymoon safari itineraries make thoughtful use of the full range of activities available.
01
Game Drives
A Serengeti game drive is the defining experience of any Tanzania safari holiday and the foundation of every Serengeti honeymoon safari package Africa Bed of Roses Safaris designs. The park is best explored in the early morning, when the light is extraordinary and predators are most active, and in the late afternoon, when the golden hour turns the plains into something that looks like a painting. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris provides private 4×4 safari vehicles for all Serengeti honeymoon holiday packages, meaning your game drives run entirely on your schedule and your interests. If you want to spend an hour watching a cheetah mother with cubs on a kopje, you stay. If you want to follow a lion pride at dawn across the open plains, you follow. A private vehicle is the single most important element of a Serengeti honeymoon safari, and we include it in every package we design.
03
Walking Safaris
Walking safaris are available in the private conservancy areas adjacent to the national park, including the Lamai Wedge in the north and the privately managed reserves in the western corridor. Walking through the Serengeti ecosystem on foot, with an armed and experienced guide, gives couples an entirely different relationship with the landscape. The scale shrinks to the human, the details expand, and the sounds and smells of the bush become something you are inside rather than passing through. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris includes walking safari options in Serengeti honeymoon holiday packages based in the northern and western sectors of the park, where this activity is available and where the guides are among the most experienced in Tanzania.
05
Birdwatching
The Serengeti holds more than 540 recorded bird species, making it one of the finest birdwatching destinations in East Africa. From the martial eagle and the secretary bird of the open plains to the paradise flycatcher and the grey-crested helmet shrike of the riverine forest, the variety is extraordinary. The wet season between November and April is the best period for birdwatching in the Serengeti, when migratory species arrive and the park’s resident birds are most active and visible. For couples on a Serengeti honeymoon safari who are interested in birds, Africa Bed of Roses Safaris can arrange specialist birding sessions with dedicated ornithological guides as part of the broader Tanzania safari holiday itinerary.
02
Hot Air Balloon Safari
A hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti at sunrise is the experience that most couples on a Serengeti honeymoon holiday describe as the single most beautiful moment of their entire trip. The balloon lifts off as the first light touches the plains below. For an hour you drift in complete silence above the savannah, watching the landscape open in every direction and the wildlife moving through the golden grass beneath you. During the Great Migration, the view from above is almost incomprehensible in its scale, thousands upon thousands of wildebeest covering the plains as far as you can see in every direction. The flight concludes with a champagne breakfast served in the bush. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris includes the balloon safari as a central component of premium Serengeti honeymoon safari packages and manages all bookings in advance as part of your Tanzania safari holiday itinerary.
04
Bush Meals and Sundowners
Eating in the open bush of the Serengeti is one of the simplest and most profound pleasures of a Tanzania safari holiday. A sundowner on a granite kopje as the sun descends behind the plains and the sky fills with colour, a bush dinner around a fire with the sounds of the Serengeti settling into night, a picnic lunch under an acacia tree with wildebeest visible on the horizon. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris arranges private bush sundowners, intimate candlelit dinners in the bush, and full-day picnic lunches as part of Serengeti honeymoon safari packages. For couples who want the most romantic possible dining experience in the wild, a private dinner for two with a personal chef, a fire, and nothing around them but the Serengeti is something we can organise at most of the camps we work with.

Best Time To Visit Serengeti for Your Honeymoon
The Serengeti is a year-round Tanzania safari holiday destination, and every month offers its own compelling reasons to visit. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris has designed outstanding Serengeti honeymoon safari packages in every season. Understanding the seasonal cycle will help you choose the timing that best matches the experience you want from your Serengeti honeymoon holiday.
The southern Serengeti and Ndutu area between January and March host the calving season, when hundreds of thousands of wildebeest calves are born within a few weeks of each other and predators gather in extraordinary numbers. February is widely regarded as the finest month for big cat action in the entire Serengeti, with cheetah, lion, leopard, and wild dog all highly visible and active. The landscape is lush and green, visitor numbers are lower than peak season, and the Tanzania safari holiday atmosphere is intimate and unhurried. For couples who want a Serengeti honeymoon safari with exceptional predator sightings and fewer fellow visitors, January through March is one of the best periods to travel.
The long rains arrive in March and peak through April and May, turning the Serengeti plains an extraordinary deep green. Visitor numbers drop to their lowest levels of the year and accommodation rates fall substantially, with many lodges offering significant green season discounts. The landscape during this period is at its most photogenic, with dramatic cloud formations, vivid green grasslands, and the most spectacular light of the year for photography. Wildlife remains abundant and active throughout the wet season. For couples on a tighter budget or those who specifically want the Serengeti largely to themselves, April and May offer an outstanding and affordable Serengeti honeymoon safari experience.
June marks the beginning of the long dry season in the Serengeti. The vegetation thins, wildlife concentrates around water sources, and game viewing becomes consistently excellent across the park. The migration herds begin their movement northward through the western corridor towards the Grumeti River, and June through July is the best window for the Grumeti crossings. The weather is warm and dry with cool mornings, making this one of the most comfortable periods for a Serengeti honeymoon safari. Accommodation rates are moderate in June before rising to their peak levels in July and August.
This is the most popular period for Serengeti safari holidays and for very good reason. The Great Migration is in full flow, the Mara River crossings are at their most frequent and dramatic between July and September, the weather is dry and clear, and resident wildlife is concentrated and highly visible. July through October is also the period when the Serengeti is at its busiest, particularly around the Seronera area. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris positions couples in conservancy areas or the northern and western sectors of the park during this period where possible, ensuring the migration experience without the vehicle congestion of the central park. Booking Serengeti honeymoon safari packages for July to October should be done at least nine to twelve months in advance.
The short rains arrive in November and the migration herds begin their return journey south through the northern Serengeti and Lobo area. This sector of the park is rarely visited, making November and early December one of the most exclusive periods for a Serengeti honeymoon holiday. The landscape greens rapidly after the first rains, the birdwatching becomes exceptional as migratory species arrive, and accommodation rates begin to fall significantly. The short rains are mostly brief afternoon showers and rarely interfere with game drives or other safari activities.
Romantic and Luxury Experiences in the Serengeti
The Serengeti is home to some of the finest safari camps in the world, and the selection of accommodation is one of the most important decisions in any Serengeti honeymoon safari package. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris selects camps based on their location within the ecosystem, the quality of their guiding team, the intimacy of the setting, and the specific experiences they offer to couples on a Tanzania honeymoon safari.
The best Serengeti honeymoon holiday camps feature tented suites with private decks overlooking the plains or the river, outdoor shower enclosures with views of the sunrise, fireplaces or wood-burning stoves for the cool evenings, and dining under the stars as the standard rather than the exception. The most exclusive properties in the western corridor and northern Serengeti, including the camps within Singita Grumeti Reserve and the mobile camps of the Lamai Wedge, offer private vehicle arrangements, exclusive access to vast tracts of wilderness, spa facilities, and the kind of personalised service that makes a Serengeti honeymoon holiday feel genuinely bespoke. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris works with properties across all tiers, from beautifully designed mid-range tented camps to the most luxurious addresses in Tanzania safari holidays history.
Getting to Serengeti National Park
Most Serengeti safari holidays begin with an international flight into Kilimanjaro International Airport near Arusha, which is served by KLM, Turkish Airlines, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, and other major carriers. Arusha is the gateway city to the northern Tanzania safari circuit and is where most Serengeti honeymoon holiday itineraries begin. From Arusha, the most practical and recommended option for couples is a short domestic flight to one of the Serengeti’s seven internal airstrips, operated by local airlines including Grumeti Air and Coastal Aviation. Flight times from Arusha Airport range from approximately one hour to two hours and forty minutes depending on which airstrip serves your camp.
For couples combining a Serengeti honeymoon safari with Kenya’s Masai Mara, it is also possible to fly from Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta or Wilson Airport to Kilimanjaro or directly to Serengeti airstrips via regional connections. There are also direct flights between the Serengeti and Zanzibar for couples adding a beach extension to their Tanzania safari holiday. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris coordinates all flights, transfers, and cross-border logistics as part of every Serengeti honeymoon safari package we design.

Frequently Asked Questions About Serengeti Honeymoon Safaris
The Serengeti is a year-round Tanzania safari holiday destination and every month offers a genuinely compelling reason to visit. For the Great Migration Grumeti River crossings, June and July in the western corridor are the prime window. For the Mara River crossings and the migration at its height, July to September in the northern Serengeti is the peak period. For calving season predator action and fewer crowds, January to March in the southern Serengeti is outstanding. For a budget Serengeti honeymoon safari with lush green landscapes, April and May offer the best value. For a balance of good weather, excellent wildlife, and manageable visitor numbers, June and November are ideal shoulder season months. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris will help you match your honeymoon travel dates to the right Serengeti honeymoon safari package.
The Serengeti is best known for the Great Wildebeest Migration, the world’s largest overland animal movement, in which approximately 1.5 million wildebeest, 300,000 gazelles, and 200,000 zebra move in an annual circuit through the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems. Beyond the migration, the Serengeti is famous for the highest concentration of large predators in Africa, including 3,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, and 550 cheetahs. It holds more than 300 mammal species and 540 bird species, all within an unfenced park that shares an open ecosystem with Kenya’s Masai Mara to the north. For Tanzania safari holidays, it is the defining destination.
Most travellers planning Tanzania safari holidays choose the dry season from late June to October, when the Great Migration is at its height, wildlife is concentrated and easy to spot, and the weather is warm and dry. However, the Serengeti offers outstanding wildlife viewing year-round. The calving season in January and February delivers some of the finest predator sightings of the year. The green season in April and May offers dramatically lower rates and a more exclusive experience. November and December bring the short rains and the start of the return migration through the northern Serengeti. The best time for your Serengeti honeymoon safari depends on what you most want to experience, and Africa Bed of Roses Safaris will advise you based on your specific travel dates and interests.
Most Serengeti safari holidays begin with an international flight to Kilimanjaro International Airport near Arusha in northern Tanzania. From Arusha Airport, domestic flights on light aircraft to one of seven airstrips within the Serengeti take between one hour and two hours forty minutes depending on the destination. This fly-in option is the most practical and most comfortable for couples on a Serengeti honeymoon safari. An overland drive-in safari from Arusha through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the park’s southern Naabi Hill Gate is also popular and takes approximately eight hours, allowing stops at other destinations en route. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris coordinates all transport as part of every Tanzania safari holiday package.
The Serengeti has four main entry gates. Naabi Hill Gate is the main and busiest gate, located approximately 45 kilometres from Seronera. Ndabaka Gate provides access to the western corridor and is approximately 145 kilometres from Seronera. Klein’s Gate serves the far northeastern sector of the park. All gates open at 6:00 AM and close at 6:00 PM daily, with last entry at 4:00 PM for Ndabaka and Klein’s gates. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris manages all park gate logistics as part of every Serengeti honeymoon safari package we design.
Serengeti National Park entry fees for non-resident adults are approximately USD 70 to USD 83 per person per day depending on the season, with children aged 5 to 15 paying approximately USD 24 per day. Children under 5 enter free of charge. These fees are subject to change and Africa Bed of Roses Safaris always includes the most current park fee rates transparently in the pricing of every Serengeti honeymoon safari package, with all costs presented in both USD.
A minimum of four full days is recommended to do the Serengeti justice on a honeymoon safari. This gives couples time for multiple game drives across different parts of the park, a hot air balloon safari, and at least one additional activity such as a bush dinner or sundowner. For couples who want to experience more than one sector of the park, or who want to combine the Serengeti with the Ngorongoro Crater or a Zanzibar beach extension, six to ten days in Tanzania allows for a far more complete and satisfying Tanzania safari holiday. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris designs Serengeti honeymoon safari packages of four days to two weeks depending on your goals and travel budget.
The Serengeti has a pleasantly moderate climate that surprises many first-time visitors to Africa. Maximum daytime temperatures in most months range from 26 to 29 degrees Celsius, comfortable for game drives. Nights and early mornings can be significantly cooler, particularly in June and July when temperatures approach 14 degrees Celsius and a warm layer is essential. The dry season runs from late May to October. Two rainy seasons occur: the short rains in November and December, which are mostly brief afternoon storms, and the long rains from March to May, which bring more sustained rainfall. Temperatures are highest during the wet season. The Serengeti’s altitude gives it a cooler, more moderate climate than many parts of tropical Africa.
The Serengeti supports all of the Big Five, including elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, and rhinoceros, though rhino sightings are rare and most likely in the northern sector. Resident wildlife across all seasons includes large prides of lions, cheetah on the open plains, leopard in the riverine forest, elephant, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, zebra, and a wide variety of antelope and gazelle. During the migration season, wildebeest and zebra are present in their millions. The Serengeti also holds the highest concentration of cheetah in Africa, making Tanzania safari holidays here outstanding for big cat encounters. Primate species include olive baboon and vervet monkey. With over 540 bird species recorded, the birdwatching is exceptional throughout the year.
Binoculars are strongly recommended for any Serengeti honeymoon safari. The park is vast and animals are often spotted at distances where the naked eye cannot fully appreciate what you are looking at. A good pair of binoculars, ideally 8x or 10x magnification, transforms a distant sighting into a memorable encounter and is particularly valuable for birdwatching across the park’s open plains and riverine forest. Some camps provide binoculars in their safari vehicles but this cannot be guaranteed. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris includes binoculars in the packing guidance provided as part of the pre-departure briefing for every Serengeti honeymoon safari package.
Yes. Leopards are present in the Serengeti and are regularly sighted, particularly in the Seronera River Valley in the central Serengeti where the acacia trees along the riverbanks provide ideal resting and hunting habitat. Leopards are elusive and solitary, so sightings require patience and a knowledgeable guide who knows the specific territories and trees where resident individuals are most frequently seen. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris selects guides for Serengeti honeymoon safari packages specifically on the basis of their local knowledge of individual animal territories, which significantly improves the quality of big cat encounters on Tanzania safari holidays.
No. Tigers are native to Asia and do not occur anywhere in Africa. The Serengeti’s predator community is made up of the African big cats: lion, leopard, and cheetah, as well as hyena, wild dog, jackal, and serval. The Serengeti holds the largest lion population in Africa and one of the highest densities of cheetah in the world, making it one of the finest destinations on earth for big cat encounters on a Tanzania safari holiday.
The Serengeti offers accommodation across a wide range of styles and price points, from comfortable mid-range tented camps to ultra-luxury design lodges and mobile tented camps that move seasonally to follow the migration. The most celebrated properties for Serengeti honeymoon safari packages include permanent luxury tented camps in the northern and western sectors with private plunge pools and exclusive game viewing access, centrally located lodges with sweeping plains views, and the mobile camps that reposition across the ecosystem to always be closest to the migration herds. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris selects accommodation for every Tanzania honeymoon safari based on location, guiding quality, romantic setting, and the specific experiences available to couples.

Serengeti National Park covers approximately 14,750 square kilometres, making it slightly larger in area than the Bahamas. The broader Serengeti ecosystem, including the surrounding protected areas such as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Maswa Game Reserve, and Kenya’s Masai Mara, extends to approximately 30,000 square kilometres. Because the park is unfenced, animals move freely through this entire ecosystem in response to seasonal rainfall and grazing conditions. The sheer scale of the Serengeti is part of what makes a Serengeti safari holiday unlike any other wildlife experience on earth.
Most international visitors require a visa to enter Tanzania. Visas can be obtained on arrival at major airports or in advance through your nearest Tanzanian embassy or consulate. Tanzania also offers an online e-visa application. Current visa fees range from USD 50 to USD 100 for a single entry depending on your country of origin, and these rates are subject to change. Your passport must have at least six months of validity from your intended date of departure from Tanzania. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris provides current visa guidance as part of the pre-departure briefing for every Tanzania safari holiday we design.
Both seasons offer genuinely compelling and very different Serengeti honeymoon safari experiences. The dry season from late June to October delivers the Great Migration at its most dramatic, consistently excellent wildlife viewing as animals concentrate around water sources, warm and sunny days, and the most reliable conditions for game drives and hot air balloon flights. The wet season, particularly April and May, offers a dramatically lush and green landscape, far fewer visitors on the plains and at camps, substantially lower accommodation rates, exceptional birdwatching, and the calving season predator action of January and February. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris designs outstanding Serengeti honeymoon safari packages for both seasons and will advise you honestly on which suits your travel dates, interests, and budget.
