Day by Day

  1. Your safari adventure begins early in the morning in Arusha, where you will be transferred to the domestic airport for your scheduled bush flight to the Serengeti. As the aircraft lifts off, you will enjoy magnificent aerial views of northern TanzaniaΓÇÖs landscapes, including mountains, valleys, villages, and wildlife areas. After approximately one hour, you land at one of the SerengetiΓÇÖs remote airstrips such as Seronera, Kogatende, or Ndutu depending on the season and wildlife movements.

    Upon arrival, your safari guide warmly welcomes you and your game drive begins immediately. The Serengeti is home to one of the richest wildlife ecosystems on Earth, offering excellent opportunities to spot lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, hyenas, and countless antelope species. Depending on the time of year, you may also witness the dramatic Great Migration, where millions of wildebeests and zebras move across the plains in search of greener pastures. You will enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush or at your lodge before continuing with an afternoon game drive. The vast open plains, scattered acacia trees, and rocky kopjes create one of AfricaΓÇÖs most beautiful safari landscapes. As the sun begins to set, the Serengeti transforms into a golden paradise filled with unforgettable photography opportunities. Later in the evening, you will head to your safari lodge or luxury tented camp for dinner and overnight stay surrounded by the sounds of nature.
