DAY 1: Serengeti Safari Tour

Early morning hotel pickup marks the commencement of your journey to the Serengeti, where you’ll arrive by late morning. Following your hotel pickup, indulge in a leisurely lunch and embark on a comprehensive afternoon game drive. Aerial views during your flight over the Serengeti reveal the significance of its name, which translates to “endless plains” in the local language.

Encompassing a vast 6,900 square miles (18,000 sq. km), the park’s expansive plains seem to stretch endlessly to the horizon, challenging your senses and perception of distances. Renowned as the epicenter of the Great Migration, the Serengeti is home to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and a diverse array of antelopes, including the prolific impalas and Thomson’s gazelles.

For enthusiasts of Big Cats and formidable predators, the Serengeti is the prime location to spot lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. Numerous television scenes, including the iconic river crossings, have been filmed in this remarkable park.

Inhabitants of the Serengeti extend beyond the iconic large mammals to encompass smaller creatures such as foxes, mongoose, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, rock hyrax, and African hares. The park is also a haven for birdwatchers, with over 500 bird species gracing its landscapes.

Depending on the time of the year and your preferences, your flying safari may take you to different sections of the Serengeti, be it the Central, West, North, or South regions. Notably, for these flying safaris, accommodation options tend to be more exclusive, as they are limited to establishments offering game packages, typically found in mid-range and luxury categories.

DAY 3: Arusha- Tarangire National Park

Commencing at 8:00 am, we will pick you up from your Arusha hotel, embarking on a three-hour journey to Tarangire National Park. A full day will be dedicated to exploring the rich wildlife within the park, followed by a drive to Jambo Lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

Tarangire National Park is situated 115 km from Arusha and spans an expansive 2800 sq. km. The park is renowned for its abundant wildlife congregating around the Tarangire River, the source of its name. Notable attractions include a substantial elephant population, pythons that scale trees, and the iconic baobab trees. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to spot lions, leopards, and various other wildlife during your visit.

Day 4: Flying Out Of Serengeti Park Tanzania

For this day, we recommend an early rise to embark on a morning game drive when the animals are most active, offering a chance to witness one of the most breathtaking sunrises you’ll ever experience. It truly stands out as one of the most captivating moments.

Following the game drive, we return to the camp for a satisfying brunch, and thereafter, we proceed to the airstrip for your flight back to Arusha or your next remarkable destination, such as Zanzibar. Alternatively, if you prefer a more leisurely morning, you have the option to stay at the camp for some relaxation.

The duration of this safari can be customized to suit your preferences by extending or shortening the number of nights spent in the park. Additionally, we can enhance your experience by adding a flight to combine exploration in two different regions of the Serengeti.
