2 Day Serengeti safari from Mwanza

Welcome to the exciting journey! However, the vast plains are also home to exceptionally dense populations of lion, leopard, cheetah, and other predators. The Serengeti is famous for hosting an annual migration of at least two million wildebeest, plains zebra, and gazelle, the greatest spectacle of its kind in Africa. It also has a liberating sense of space that is best enjoyed on an early-morning balloon safari. Begin and finish in Mwanza!

Normally most trip to Serengeti like all other trip to northern circuit will start and end at Arusha city, known to be the tourism capital of Tanzania. However, due to the long distance from Arusha to Serengeti, it is impossible to have a 2-day road trip from Arusha to Serengeti. A trip from Arusha requires to have a minimum of 5 days to Serengeti. However, for those with limited time or planning to travel on budget and wouldn’t wish to pay the transit fee through Ngorongoro that you must pay if your adventure starts from Arusha. Then starting your safari adventure to Serengeti from Mwanza is viable option as Mwanza is very close to Serengeti and will not require you to pass through Ngorongoro conservation area.

This 2-day trip only offer with the driver guide and can be booked as either a camping or a lodging safari and will allow you to access Serengeti through the western collider where you will enter the park from Ndabaka gate of Serengeti.

Indeed! All things considered, both a high and a cheap budget can have an amazing safari. The low end offers a special chance for adventure that some seasoned travelers enjoy, provided you don’t mind forgoing some luxuries and sticking to a larger, more accessible national park.

What is the best way to visit the Serengeti?

Flying to one of the park’s seven airstrips from Arusha is the most practical choice. An overland safari in a 4×4 safari vehicle from Arusha to Serengeti National Park can also be scheduled, with stops at one or two other parks en route.
