Aditya Basu22 Jan 2012: Hi there, I was looking for a tour for 5 adults during December 2013-January 2014. I was interested in visiting the Serengeti National Park for a week or so. Would you be able to tell me about any such tour packages, costing below $1500 per person..? Regards, Aditya Basu
Tania - OverlandingAfrica.com03 Jan 2011: Hi Mike, Depends on your definition of backpacking through the Serengeti. If you are looking for organised budget backpacker trips that will take you through the National Park then drop us a email and we can supply you with options based on your dates and budget. If you want to do it alone you would need to rent a vehicle and book some accommodation with Park services. Cheers
Mike Buechler01 Jan 2011: I would like to find resources that would point me in the direction to do a backpacking trip through the serengeti.
Tania - OverlandingAfrica.com15 Feb 2010: Hey Fiona. Congratulations! There is never a bad time to go to Tanzania! Late April, early May could still get the odd, rare rain shower at the end of the light rain season but you should be fine. It is coming into winter at that time so temperatures are tolerable. Have fun!
fiona15 Feb 2010: Hi i was just enquiring about going to tanzania on our honey moon in the middle of may would this be a bad time to go there?
