Luxury accommodation in the Serengeti ranges from elegant lodges with views over the plains to intimate tented camps and seasonal mobile camps positioned near the herds. Suites usually include en-suite bathrooms, comfortable furnishings and private terraces, with meals prepared by skilled chefs and served with attention to dietary needs. We choose properties by location, atmosphere and service, then match them to the season and your interests, so each night of your journey feels distinctive and well considered. Our team will describe each camp honestly, so you choose with complete confidence for your journey.

Wildlife is excellent year-round, but timing shapes where you stay. December to March suits calving season in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu, while July to October suits Mara River crossings in the northern Serengeti, with August and September at their peak. The central Serengeti offers dependable game viewing across the year. The green season from March to May offers fewer vehicles and lush scenery. Migration movements vary with rainfall, so we plan flexibly. Our team will explain what each month looks like, so you can pick the region and camps that suit you best.

Luxury safaris are priced by season, camp and length of stay. As a general guide, luxury runs about $990–$2,500 per person per day, and ultra-luxury from about $2,500, while mid-range is about $550–$990. Peak months and exclusive camps cost more, and a green-season stay can be more modest. Your private quote lists what is included, such as meals, park fees, transfers and activities. Tell us your budget, and we will propose the best value. We will also explain what is included, so flights, camps, park fees and extras are clear before you confirm.

Many luxury travelers choose a fly-in itinerary, which saves road time with scenic flights to Serengeti airstrips. Optional extras can include hot-air balloon safaris at dawn, bush breakfasts, sundowners on the plains and cultural visits. Honeymooners and families celebrating special occasions may add private touches, such as a surprise dinner in the bush. We arrange these details on request, always keeping your own vehicle and driver-guide at the heart of the experience. Our team will confirm availability and timing, so every special moment fits smoothly into your private itinerary.

Planning begins with your dates, interests and preferred comfort level. We then design a private itinerary with suggested Serengeti regions, nights, lodges and extras, refining it with you until it feels right. Many guests combine the Serengeti with Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire or Zanzibar. Once you confirm, our team arranges bookings, transfers and park fees, and your driver-guide welcomes you on arrival, so the journey unfolds smoothly from the first day to the last. Our team stays in touch before you travel, so every detail remains clear and calm.

A Serengeti luxury safari is a private, high-comfort wildlife journey with refined lodges or tented camps, fine dining and personal service. You travel in your own 4x4 with a private driver-guide, choose the pace of each game drive and stay in locations chosen for views and wildlife. It suits couples, honeymooners and families who want a relaxed, immersive experience with every detail arranged. We plan everything for you, from airport transfers and park fees to meals, so you can enjoy the scenery and the wildlife without worry.

As a general guide, luxury safaris cost about $990–$2,500 per person per day, and ultra-luxury from about $2,500. The price depends on the season, camp, length of stay and extras such as flights or balloon safaris. Mid-range options run about $550–$990 and budget camping about $250–$390. We provide a clear private quote and can adjust the plan to fit your budget. Your private quote lists exactly what is included, so you can compare options clearly and decide where extra investment adds the most value.

The best time depends on what you want to see. July to October suits Mara River crossings in the northern Serengeti, December to March suits calving in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu, and the dry months from June to October are generally excellent for game viewing. The green season from March to May has fewer vehicles. Timing varies with rainfall, so we advise you carefully. Tell us your dates and interests, and we will recommend the region and camps that make the most of that moment in the Serengeti.

Yes. Every luxury safari we arrange is private and tailor-made, with your own 4x4 vehicle and private driver-guide throughout. You decide when to start your game drives, how long to stay at sightings and when to relax at camp. This privacy suits couples, families and photographers who value flexibility, and it lets you tailor each day to your own rhythm. Your guide handles every detail on the ground, so you can focus on the wildlife, the landscapes and the quiet moments at camp.

Five to seven days is a good length for a Serengeti luxury safari, allowing time in more than one region and relaxed pacing at camp. Adding Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire or Zanzibar extends the trip to eight to twelve days. A fly-in option can maximize time in the park. We recommend the length that fits your interests, comfort level and schedule. Our team will tailor the schedule to your energy and interests, with rest days and flexible game drives built in.

Yes. A sunrise hot-air balloon flight over the Serengeti plains is a popular extra, subject to availability and local conditions, and a Zanzibar beach stay is a classic finish to a luxury safari. We can add either to your private itinerary and arrange flights, transfers and accommodation, so the journey from the plains to the coast runs smoothly. Our team will explain costs, timing and what to expect, so you can decide whether these extras suit your plans.

On a Serengeti luxury safari you can see lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, hippos, hyenas and vast herds of wildebeest and zebra. The Great Migration moves through the southern Serengeti and Ndutu from December to March, the Western Corridor in late May to July, and northern Serengeti from July to October, though timing varies with rainfall. Your private guide positions the vehicle for the best viewing and photography, and luxury camps in prime locations keep you close to the action. Your guide also shares stories of the plains and its people.

A luxury Serengeti safari typically includes a private 4x4 vehicle with pop-up roof, an experienced driver-guide, park fees, stays in luxury lodges or tented camps, gourmet full-board meals, drinks at many camps, laundry and transfers. Optional extras include domestic flights, hot-air balloon flights, bush dinners and sundowners. Luxury costs generally range from about $990 to $2,500 per person per day, with ultra-luxury from about $2,500. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris provides a clear private quote listing every inclusion and exclusion. Drinks policies vary by camp, so we confirm them for you.

Luxury travellers choose between permanent lodges and exclusive tented camps in Central Serengeti, the south around Ndutu, the Western Corridor or the north near Kogatende. Seronera is excellent for predators all year, Ndutu suits calving season, and the north is ideal for Mara River crossings from July to October. Many luxury camps offer private plunge pools, spa treatments and sundowner viewpoints. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris matches your travel month to the right region and camp, so your private safari stays close to the wildlife. Sundowners, spa time and starlit dinners complete each day.

Pack lightweight clothes in neutral tones, a warm jacket for chilly early drives, a sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and insect repellent. Comfortable closed shoes and sandals suit camp life, and a smart casual outfit works for dinners. Bring binoculars, a camera with a zoom lens and spare batteries. Use soft duffel bags because fly-in flights have baggage limits. Camps usually provide laundry, so you can pack light. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris sends a tailored packing list once your private luxury safari is confirmed. Dress in layers, since temperatures change quickly between dawn and midday.

Send Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris your preferred dates, number of travellers, interests and comfort level, and we will design a private tailor-made luxury itinerary with a detailed quote. The plan covers lodges, flights, game drives, extras like a balloon safari and transfers. Once you approve it, a deposit secures your dates and we confirm camps. Book early, ideally several months ahead, because luxury camps are small and fill quickly during the migration months and the December to March calving period. Early planning also allows time to arrange special celebrations at camp.
