How long does it take to drive from Arusha to Serengeti National Park?

Serengeti National Park

Driving from Arusha to Serengeti National Park takes approximately 7-9 hours, depending on your chosen route, road conditions, and the location of your lodge or camp within the park. With Tanzania Natural Tours, your private safari from Arusha usually starts early in the morning, around 6:00 AM, in a comfortable 4x4 safari vehicle with a professional driver-guide. Along the way, you can enjoy Tanzania's beautiful countryside, local villages, and scenic landscapes, with stops for refreshments and lunch as arranged. Although the drive can be long, it offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the journey before reaching the famous Serengeti plains.
