ITINERARY
The flight from Zanzibar to the Serengeti take about 90 minutes. You will fly over the Indian Ocean, the mainland of Tanzania, the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands and the vast expanse of the Serengeti before making your descent to the Airstrip. The views from above are undeniably magnificent. Within half an hour of disembarking the aircraft, you will be in a 4×4 safari Landcruiser with a pop-up roof, ready to take in all that Serengeti has to offer for you.
Around midday, there will be a picnic stop for lunch and a leg stretch, before we continue exploring the wilderness. Late afternoon, you will be driven to a Tented Camp in the Serengeti for dinner and the night.
Today you will enjoy a full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park. Throughout the day, you will explore the surroundings of a well-known phenomenon; the yearly crossing of the migration. Depending on the rainfall and your travel dates, you may have the opportunity to witness this spectacle of nature. In this expansive landscape, watered by several rivers, the game is there for viewing in large numbers. You are highly likely to cross paths with giraffes, hippos, elands, and elephants. Late afternoon we drive back to Camp for dinner and the night.
Enjoy a bit of a sleep-in and an easy morning around the campgrounds, read a book on the patio or simply make the most of having some downtime. This afternoon, you will be making a walking safari. A truly unique experience, where you will have the opportunity to explore new territory and follow the animals on foot, accompanied by your very own armed ranger. The walking safari takes approximately 2 hours and ends with a sundowner while overlooking the Serengeti. Then get back to the accommodation for a quick dinner as you will join in on a thrilling adventure; a night game drive. A spotlight is fitted to the vehicle and before you know it, you’ll catch the first reflections of the animals’ eyes. The night is another world altogether; interesting action of the nocturnal animals, different shades, shadows and unknown sounds. Typical animals of the night are bushbabies, civets and genet cats, a rare aardvark or porcupine, and others. You will have late dinner and overnight in the Camp.
After a good breakfast it is departure time in the morning. We say good bye at the Airstrip. You take your flight back to Zanzibar Airport. Enjoy the views while flying over Serengeti National Park and the changing scenery of the Great Rift Valley. May you will get a view of the famous Mount Kilimanjaro, as the plane stops in Arusha. You will land at Zanzibar Airport with a camera full of pictures to share with friends and family and to look back on the amazing memories created on your African adventure!
