Day 1 Arusha to Serengeti National Park via a Maasai Village.
In the morning, after breakfast, begin your road transfer to Serengeti National Park. The drive starts on a well-paved road and crosses the gently rolling Maasai plains, which are dotted with scattered acacia trees. As you travel past the Great East African Rift Valley and into the Ngorongoro Highlands, there will be multiple viewpoints where you can see Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater.
While crossing Ngorongoro, you may encounter various wild animals as well as the Maasai people, who coexist with wildlife in the area. You’ll notice them in their colorful attire, walking along the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkey carts. This journey allows you to pass through their homesteads and learn about their traditions and customs.
You will stop for a picnic lunch at Ngorongoro, providing you with a chance to enjoy a tasty meal while surrounded by nature. Continue with a game drive en route to Serengeti, arriving in the evening.
Once you arrive at the Serengeti, check in at your lodge for a hearty dinner and an overnight stay.
Accommodation: Serengeti Katikati Tented Camp OR Mawe Tented Camp
Day 2 Full day Guided Game Drive of Serengeti National Park
Embark on an exhilarating full-day guided game drive through the breathtaking landscapes of Serengeti National Park, the largest and one of the most iconic parks in Tanzania. Experience the park’s incredible diversity of habitats—from vast short grass plains and expansive savannahs to dense bush, tranquil swamps, majestic hills, and shimmering lakes and swamps.
Marvel at the striking Kopjes that punctuate the grassy savannah, providing prime vantage points to spot the park’s exciting wildlife, including formidable predators. Depending on the season of your visit, you may witness the awe-inspiring migration of thousands of animals, a testament to the Serengeti’s rich ecological tapestry.
During the short rainy season from November to December, herds migrate from the northern hills to the expansive plains in the south, while the longer rainy season from April to June sees them return to the north. This dynamic ebb and flow of life is intricately tied to the annual rainfall, and our expert guides are adept at navigating to where the animals are most plentiful.
Pause for a delightful picnic lunch beneath the shade of an acacia tree, soaking in panoramic views that stretch endlessly to the horizon. After lunch, gear up for an enchanting evening game drive. As the sun begins to set, the warm light casts a magical glow over the landscape, and cooler temperatures invite a fresh burst of activity among both predators and prey. This magical hour is often when the most thrilling encounters occur, making it an unforgettable part of your safari experience.
Come back to your cozy lodge in the evening to enjoy a delightful dinner followed by a restful overnight stay.
