Arusha to Serengeti and Game Drive in Seronera

Your Serengeti safari begins in Arusha, where you will be collected from your accommodation and transferred via Arusha Airport to Serengeti National Park (Seronera) for an entire game drive, followed by dinner and an overnight stay in the Serengeti.
You will take your flight to the central part of the Serengeti, Seronera. Your professional guide will try to find the animals you are most interested in. Closer to lunchtime, you will visit the Serengeti Visitor Center, where you will be offered a lunch box and provided with lots of exciting information, especially about the history of the park.
Look out for thousands of animals such as elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, ostriches, giraffes, hyenas, jackals, and cheetahs - just keep your eyes peeled and enjoy the nature around you.
In the evening, you will be transferred to the northern part of the Serengeti and then to your hotel for dinner and an overnight stay at Serengeti Semetu Luxury Tented Camp.

Day 02

Full-Day Wildlife Safari in Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will enjoy a full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park.
Stretching as far as the eye can see is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means "endless plain," and more than 2 million wildebeest inhabit this 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) park. From January to April, wildebeest give birth to their calves, alongside hundreds of thousands of plains zebras and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators, including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey, which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals, such as rock hyraxes, bat-eared foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares, also inhabit the area, along with nearly 500 species of birds. In the late evening, you will drive back to Serengeti Semetu Luxury Tented Camp.

Day 03

Flexible Serengeti Game Drives at Your Own Pace

Start with an early morning game drive in Serengeti National Park. This day is completely flexible and will be organized according to your preferences. Each day of the safari, your guide will discuss the best timings with you, including game drives and wake-up time.
For example, on this day, you could enjoy a morning game drive, return to the camp or lodge for lunch or brunch and relaxation, and finish with an afternoon game drive. Alternatively, you may choose a game drive with a picnic lunch.
You will spend the night at Serengeti Semetu Luxury Tented Camp.

Day 04

Final Serengeti Safari and Flight to Arusha

After breakfast, you will continue your safari and head to the central part of the Serengeti, Seronera. The two full days are dedicated to game viewing in Serengeti National Park. The areas you visit will depend on where the migrating herds are, and your professional guide will try to find the animals you are most interested in.
You will also have a perfect opportunity for a Serengeti balloon safari. By balloon, you fly over the Serengeti and get to view it from the air, seeing animals in places that vehicles cannot reach.
Keep watch for thousands of animals such as elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, ostriches, giraffes, hyenas, jackals, and cheetahs as you enjoy the surrounding nature.
Predators follow closely behind the trekking animals, including lions, leopards in the acacia trees, and cheetahs. During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the northern hills to the southern plains.
They return north during the extended rainy season from April to June. As the migration depends entirely on the yearly rainfall, the location of the herds may vary from year to year, but your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best. Closer to lunchtime, you will visit the Serengeti Visitor Center, where you will be offered a lunch box and provided with lots of exciting information, especially about the park's history.
After Serengeti, you will fly from Serengeti back to Arusha.
