Day 01

Fly from Arusha to Kogatende in Northern Serengeti

  • On this day, you will take your local flight from Arusha to Kogatende in the northern Serengeti, ready for a four-night stay. Each day will be well planned together with your guide by the fireplace the night before, with many choices to choose from.
  • Leave early in the morning with breakfast and return for lunch. After breakfast, the choice is yours, and of course, the nature of the game may decide.

Accommodation will be in one of the luxury lodges or camps in the area, which will be sent to you with the second full detailed itinerary after your inquiry for this tour.

Day 02

Early Morning and Evening Serengeti Game Drives

  • On day two of the tour, wake up very early in the morning with a packed breakfast and head into the bush for an adventure drive. The morning hours are likely to reward you with fresh action such as predators on a hunt and wildebeests gathering, ready for crossing. For this reason, throughout all four days, we will try not to miss this opportunity.
  • Come back for lunch and leave again at 16h00 for an evening game drive.

Dinner and overnight on full board.

Day 03

Follow the Action in the Serengeti

  • On this day, depending on what we saw on the second day, we will again leave in the early hours of the morning with a packed breakfast and follow the day's call. The day's call could be what we left the night before, such as an unsuccessful hunt to be carried forward into the early morning, gatherings of wildebeests by the riverbank ready to cross, or an unfinished lion kill that may attract various other activity such as hyenas joining in and vultures cleaning up the mess.
  • Again, we will drive back to the camp or lodge for dinner and overnight on full board.
4
Day 04

Full-Day Serengeti Wildlife Exploration

  • We will have breakfast at the lodge at 07h00 and thereafter leave with a packed lunch for a final full-day game drive. This is the general game drive that goes into the details of everything that we may come across. It is time to learn the importance of the Serengeti ecosystem and its wildlife, and how interconnected all these are.
  • Spend time with elephants, buffaloes, gazelles, impalas, zebras, giraffes, topis, and many other species the Serengeti has to offer.
  • In the evening, we will come back to the lodge for dinner and overnight on full board.

Day 05

Return from Serengeti to Arusha

  • On this day, you will sleep late and have breakfast at the lodge, taking it easy and packing your luggage ready for departure.
