Central Serengeti: Seronera Safari Tour Tanzania

Seronera, which is the centre of the Serengeti, is at the heart of almost all safari program accommodations. This is where several guests first arrive through by air at the Seronera airstip or drive by road through rout B144.

From a wildlife point of view, our specialist safari guides also refer to Seronera as the no miss zone. Reasons being:

First, because Seronera is all plains-hundreds of acres of flat land that our highly trained guides can view wildlife from a distance minus a pair if binoculars.

Second, since Seronera’s plains create extraordinary sundowners, one can truly view the entire bright orange ball just drop infront of one’s eye.

Third, Seronera River and Ngare Nyanyuki are one of the major water sources for the central and eastern part of the Serengeti, which bring together a lot of wildlife.

Last but not least, Seronera offers an all-year game drive, and also enables guests reach the south, west and north of the Serengeti National Park.

A big number of visitors come to the Serengeti stunned to view burnt grass on the Seronera plains, usually relating it to the wild forest fires, stunted naturally or otherwise, in areas such as California. The fires usually viewed in the Serengeti are known as “Early Season Burning Fires” started intentionally by Serengeti park authorities, and are supposed to work in the following way: During the end of the rains in May, the Serengeti park personnel set fires to the grass inside the park limits, to prepare for the dry month; the shortened burnt grass minimises the effect of a fire stemming from outside the park coming into the park, is such an unfortunate incident were to happen. One has to note the Serengeti National Park authorities do not have control of what happens beyond the park limits.
