Overview

In this short but very exciting Serengeti safari program, you will visit Serengeti National Park, the no. 1-ranked national park in the world. It is best known for its huge herds of plains animals, especially gnu (wildebeest), gazelle, and zebra. It is the only place in Africa where vast animal migrations still take place. The park, an international tourist attraction, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1981.

Highlights

Serengeti National Park – Explore the world’s top-ranked national park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981.
Great Migration – Witness the awe-inspiring migration of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles—Africa’s last great animal migration.
Abundant Wildlife – Encounter vast herds of plains game and a high chance of spotting predators like lions and cheetahs.
Unmatched Scenery – Endless savannahs and golden grasslands offer breathtaking photo opportunities.

Day 1 :

Safari starts from Arusha, drive to Serengeti National Park

After pick-up from your accommodation in Arusha, we drive to Serengeti which is around 6-7 hours away from Arusha. On the way, you will enjoy scenic views of Tanzania. Hop off the vehicle to view the Ngorongoro Crater and experience the Serengeti plains.

Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife. Over 2 million ungulates, 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 550 cheetahs and some 500 bird species inhabit an area close to 15,000 square kilometers in size. Today, most visitors come here with one aim alone – to witness millions of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle and eland on a mass trek to quench their thirst for water and eat fresh grass. During this great cyclical movement, these ungulates move around the ecosystem in a seasonal pattern, defined by rainfall and grass nutrients.

Lunch will be offered on the vehicle during the safari. By late afternoon, you will arrive at your designated lodge to rest, dine and cherish the great moments during the safari.

Day 2 :

Full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park

Today, you will have a full-day game drive. After an early breakfast at your lodge in Serengeti, you resume from where you left off the previous day. Together with our experienced safari guide, you will look for the Big 5 animals in their natural habitat.

The magic of Serengeti National Park is not easy to describe in words. Not only seeing, but also hearing the buzz of millions of wildebeest so thick in the air that it vibrates through your entire body, is something you will try to describe to friends and family, before realizing it’s impossible. Vistas of honey-lit plains at sunset are so beautiful, it’s worth the trip just to witness this.

You will carry your packed lunch which you will enjoy when making a pit stop in your safari vehicle. After lunch, you continue with the game drive. By late afternoon, you will head back to your lodge to rest, dine and cherish the wonderful moments.

Day 3 :

Early morning game drive in Serengeti and drive back to Arusha in the afternoon

Although this will be the last day of your safari, there will still be a lot of game drives to experience. You will start the day immediately after breakfast at your lodge in Serengeti. After check-out from the lodge, you head straight into the game drive.

The large herds of animals on the move can’t be witnessed anywhere else. Whereas other famous wildlife parks are fenced, the Serengeti is protected, but unfenced. This gives animals enough space to make their return journey, one that they’ve been doing for millions of years. Around midday, you stop and enjoy your lunch before you start your journey back to Arusha.

You will arrive back in Arusha by late afternoon or early evening. You will have the option to be dropped off at your accommodation in Arusha or head straight to the airport. One thing is for sure, you will have collected a bundle of unforgettable memories and witnessed the Big 5 animals in their natural habitat.
