Where to Stay in Serengeti National Park FAQ
Stay in the central Seronera area for year-round game viewing, or choose mobile camps that follow the Great Migration across different zones throughout the year.
Budget public campsites in Seronera cost around $30 per night. Mid-range tented camps run $300 to $600 per night, while luxury camps like Singita cost $1,000 or more.
Book at least 6 to 12 months in advance for peak migration season from July to September. Shoulder season has better last-minute availability.
