3 Days Tanzania Safari in December to Serengeti Safari

December marks the transition from the short rains to the dry season, resulting in beautiful green landscapes. You can expect warm temperatures during the day with occasional cooling showers in the late afternoon. It is an excellent time for photography as the dust is minimal and the air remains very clear.

During this month, the massive herds of wildebeest and zebras are usually concentrated in the southern plains for the start of the calving season. This attracts many predators like lions and cheetahs looking for easy targets among the young animals. Your guide will focus on these high-action areas to maximize your sightings over the three days.

We offer a range of accommodations from luxury tented camps to mid-range lodges located right in the heart of the wilderness. These sites are chosen for their proximity to the migrating herds to reduce travel time each morning. You will enjoy comfortable beds, private bathrooms, and the unique experience of hearing wildlife from your room.

We utilize a 4x4 safari Land Cruiser equipped with a pop-up roof for optimal 360 degree viewing and photography. The vehicle is specifically designed to handle the potentially muddy tracks during the December rains. Every passenger is guaranteed a window seat to ensure nobody misses the incredible action on the plains.

All meals, including breakfast, picnic lunches, and hot dinners, are fully covered in the tour price. We also provide plenty of bottled drinking water within the vehicle to keep you hydrated during the game drives. If you have specific dietary requirements, please let us know in advance so our chefs can prepare suitable options.

A sunrise balloon safari is a popular extra that can be scheduled for your second morning in the park. This activity provides a breathtaking bird's eye view of the green savannah and the herds below. It concludes with a luxury champagne breakfast in the bush before you continue with your ground-level game drive.

We specialize in private safaris that allow you to set your own pace and focus on animals that interest you the most. A private guide and vehicle ensure that your family has a personalized experience away from the larger crowds. This flexibility is especially valuable during the busy holiday season in December.

You should pack light, breathable clothing for the daytime and a warm jacket for the chilly early morning drives. Since there might be occasional rain, a lightweight waterproof jacket or poncho is highly recommended. Do not forget your binoculars, a high-quality camera, and plenty of sunscreen for the sunny intervals.

All mandatory park fees, transit permits, and taxes are fully included in the total cost of the package. You will not have to worry about any surprise payments at the gate, as our team handles all administrative tasks beforehand. This allows you to focus entirely on the scenery and the wildlife from the moment you arrive.

Many of the lodges and camps organize festive dinners and special bush celebrations for guests staying during the holidays. You will enjoy a unique festive atmosphere in the middle of the wilderness with local music and traditional Tanzanian hospitality. It is a memorable way to spend the holidays surrounded by nature and spectacular wildlife.
