Day 01

Fly from Zanzibar to Serengeti and Begin Your Safari

In the evening, drive back to your camp in time for dinner and your overnight stay at Serengeti Melia Lodge.

Day 02

Full-Day Game Drive Across the Serengeti Plains

You will have breakfast at the camp and depart for your full-day game drive in the Serengeti. The Serengeti landscape is of mesmerizing beauty. While a sizable part of the park consists of seasonally flooded plains, forests, and shrub savannahs, the Serengeti is primarily about one thing: grassy plains. Being surrounded by millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle is an experience of a lifetime. In their annual migration north, they stampede over vast open plains and plunge into crocodile-infested rivers, all while predators hunt them endlessly. After your picnic lunch on the Serengeti plains, continue your game drive until the evening. You return to the camp as the sun sets over the horizon to wind down next to the crackling bushfire. Your overnight stay is at Serengeti Melia Lodge.

Day 03

Flexible Serengeti Game Drives at Your Own Pace

After breakfast, you will continue with the game drive. Today, you can choose either a full-day game drive or divide the experience into an early morning session and an evening session. Splitting the drives gives those who want to relax in the afternoon the opportunity to do so, while those wishing to see as much as possible are advised to head out for the whole day.
