Two million wildebeest and zebra circle the Serengeti every year, and where they are depends on the month. This safari gives you three nights in the Serengeti so we can put you in the right place: the calving grounds around Ndutu in the green season, or the Mara River crossings in the north from July to October.
Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater round out the trip. Tell us your dates and we will tell you honestly what you are likely to see.

Incredible Trip
What an amazing 1 week safari. We were able to see the Big 5 all in one day. Our guide (Jonas) is incredibly knowledgeable and truly loves what he does. Living in lodges is wonderful but this year we chose to camp with our own cook. This was the BEST decision we made. Alex is not a cook but a food magician. You request it he creates it! On top of a fantastic safari we knew that a percentage of our trips costs was going to support a local school in Arusha. Thank you Neeko Tours.

Neeko Tours set up a perfect one day trip (including a packed lunch) to Arusha National Park, and we saw all the animals we were hoping to see. Colobus monkeys were a highlight! Lupogo was a great driver, very friendly and funny, also very knowledgeable about the park, and was able to take us to just the right stopping point for great photos. Gasper organized all the details, arranged pick up and drop off at my hotel, always greeted us with a smile and bottles of water. We saw the peak of Mount Meru as the clouds came and went. Definitely recommend Neeko Tours for a short day trip, a multi day safari, or a Mount Kilimanjaro trek.

I did a one day Safari with Neeko Tours in the Tarangire Nationalpark and it was so amazing! Very good Organisation and our driver was very friendly and always tried to show us as many animals as possible and explained everything to us. If I come back to Arusha one day I will definitely do another Safari with Neeko Tours!! amazing experience ️
