Itinerary

1. Day 1: Fly from Arusha to Serengeti National Park

   • We will pick you up from your accommodation, drop you off at Arusha airport, and fly you to Serengeti National Park. This specific tour starts with a flight from Arusha. The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands, which allow excellent wildlife sightings. Its climate and vegetation have remained untouched for millions of years. While the Serengeti boasts abundant wildlife, it is best known for the annual Great Migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebra and antelope, move annually across the land, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The precise timing of the migration depends upon the rainfall patterns each year.
   • After lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for our luxury partner lodge for dinner and overnight.

    If you fly from a different location, we can amend the price for the flight.
