Packing for a safari to Tanzania in general or the Serengeti National Park is quite simple. Since you can redo most of them, make sure you only park closes that you actually need. Laundry facilities are available at lodges so you can launder these clothes. In the Serengeti National Park, there are two distinct seasons that coincide with each other. Wet and dry seasons: the dry season lasts from mid-June to September, while the wet season is from December to February. October through November and March through the middle of June are the wet seasons. When packing, take into account the season and the time of year you are traveling.
