Day by day
Detailed itinerary
Depart Arusha after breakfast and journey to the Serengeti National Park, one of Tanzania’s greatest tourism highlights, known for its large wildlife populations, that offers game viewing throughout the year. Lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, zebras and wildebeest are just part of what makes this park so special.
The Serengeti is also home to the Great Migration, one of the most famous wildlife movements in the world. Depending on the season, travelers can witness river crossings, calving season, and also predator actions across the plains. Your guide will explore different habitats, from open grasslands and rocky kopjes to acacia woodlands, following fresh animal tracks and recent wildlife sightings. For many visitors, the Serengeti is the heart of a Tanzania safari.
Pause for a picnic lunch at a scenic location before continuing your afternoon exploration. Depending on the season, you may encounter elephants, giraffes, large buffalo herds, hippos resting in pools, and a wide variety of birdlife. As the day comes to an end, return to your lodge or tented camp to enjoy a relaxed evening surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.
