For travelers seeking an adventurous alternative to organized tours, hop aboard a long-distance bus that traverses the breathtaking Serengeti grasslands, with a scenic route through the magnificent Ngorongoro Conservation Area. While the $150 combined park entrance fee might seem steep, this budget-friendly option offers unbeatable wildlife viewing opportunities – though admittedly not as immersive as a dedicated safari vehicle.
Prepare for an unforgettable journey as your bus winds through these legendary national parks, where zebras graze by the roadside and giraffes stroll across the horizon. Keep your camera ready – you’ll spot incredible wildlife around every bend!
The exciting bus route unfolds like this:
Arusha → Tarime → Mwanza (note you’ll need to purchase separate tickets for each leg).
Pro tip: These comfortable coaches are operated by Loliondo Coach. Visit their official website for contact details and ticket purchases to secure your seat on this extraordinary overland adventure. Don’t forget to book window seats for the best wildlife viewing!
This sounds like such a unique way to experience the Serengeti! I can imagine it being a great option for budget-conscious travelers who still want to see incredible wildlife. The trade-off of not having a dedicated safari vehicle seems worth it for the cost savings. Definitely something to consider for a spontaneous adventure!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Yes, this tour really offers an amazing opportunity to experience the Serengeti without breaking the bank. While sharing a vehicle means fewer personal amenities, it’s a small trade-off for the chance to connect with fellow adventurers. Spontaneous trips can lead to some of the most unforgettable memories—happy travels!
