Serengeti Nation Park in Tanzania, East Africa is a popular place for tourists to go on a safari holiday.  The park is famous for its migration of some two hundred and fifty thousand Zebras and over one and a half million wildebeest.

Most safaris to the Serengeti start from the town of Arusha. The airport of Kilimanjaro is situated about twenty nine miles away from Arusha, and is the best airport to fly in to, to get to the national park. The other option is to fly in to Julius Nyerere International airport which is situated just outside Dar es Salaam, but you would then need to get a domestic flight to the airport In Arusha itself.

If you don’t mind spending a bit longer travelling in order to save money then you could go to the African travel hub in Nairobi, Kenya and opt for a shuttle but to take you to Arusha.
