Is Serengeti worth the money?

We recommend spending as many days in the Serengeti as possible. While there are many different accommodation options, the extra cost of staying for longer will be well worth it. Additionally, make sure to come during the dry season to spot more animals, and be mindful of your travel dates.

Serengeti is a huge national park so we would recommend minimum four days in order to properly explore it and find the wildlife.
