ITINERARY

Day 1: Kilimanjaro Airport – Arusha Town

Whatever your arrival time at Kilimanjaro International Airport, your driver guide from our office will be there waiting for you with a warm welcoming smile, relax in your comfortable vehicle as he takes you to your hotel in Arusha. On your journey to the hotel, you will get a brief impression of this large, bustling, commercial city. Depending on your arrival time you may either meet with your Safari expert today for briefing or tomorrow before you start your Safari.

Overnight Stay at Gran Melia Arusha (Bed & Breakfast Included)
Day 2: Arusha - Transfer to the Airport - Fly to Western Serengeti

We start our journey with a short drive to Arusha airport, followed by a 3 hour flight to the Grumeti Airstrip in the Western Serengeti. If you have never seen the Serengeti before, the primeval vastness of this place will blow you away! Kirawira, Nyasirori, Simiti…the names are hard to say and maybe difficult to remember, but over the next few days these locations in Tanzania’s Western Corridor will bring you wildlife adventures that will fill you with memories. Perhaps you will see not only a crossing, but a kill as well. Patience will bring its rewards – for crocodiles and for you, the visitor, poised with your camera!

Overnight Stay at &Beyond Grumeti River Lodge (Full Board Accommodation Included)
Day 3: Full Day Game Drive Western Serengeti

After breakfast, enjoy the full day game viewing in western Serengeti. In Migration times, your driver-guide will do all he can to ensure you witness a crossing. If you didn’t see one yesterday, then today offers another possibility. But the Western Corridor has much more to offer. A favourite amongst our visitors is the collection of hippo pools: as they wallow throughout daylight hours in the mud, this really is wildlife-spotting at its easiest!

Overnight Stay at &Beyond Grumeti River Lodge (Full Board Accommodation Included)
Day 4: Western Serengeti - Central Serengeti

After breakfast, and a morning game-drive en-route, we set off for our next destination, the Central Serengeti, a journey of 80km with an expected time of around 2 ½ hours. On arrival, we take lunch and have an afternoon game drive. While you’ve been asleep or having breakfast, you can be sure that your driver-guide has been checking to see what’s happening in the wonderful world of wildlife. Rest assured, he will find you a highlight! In the afternoon, we take the short drive to the central part of Serengeti, where after lunch a game-drive will introduce you to this wildlife ‘hub. Finally, you will go to your chosen accommodation for relaxation and your evening

Overnight Stay at Nasikia Ehlane Plains Camp (Full Board Accommodation Included)
Day 5: Full Day Game Drive Central Serengeti

Today, we set off from our accommodation in central Serengeti. Wildlife is abundant: sometimes you may think it has come to find you, rather than the other way round. Today’s highlight is unknown as the animals don’t publish their schedule and what we see also depends on the season, but this area is where bushland meets grassland, a favorite spot for big cats looking for prey. Cheetah, leopard and lions are all possibilities today. Today you will have a chance to enjoy the varied landscapes of the central Serengeti. The Seronera River weaves its way through this area, providing waters for all species of wildlife. You may also see the distinctive rocky outcrops, the famous kopjes which characterized the Serengeti landscape. Lunch will be served at the picnic site with an unforgettable experience enjoyed in the middle of the bush.

Overnight Stay at Nasikia Ehlane Plains Camp (Full Board Accommodation Included)
Day 6: Central Serengeti - Northern Serengeti

After breakfast, our journey from Central Serengeti to Northern Serengeti will take around 5 hours, with plenty of changing landscapes and wildlife highlights to see along the route. The changing landscapes of Northern Serengeti and the wildlife surprises it will almost certainly provide. There are no guarantees, but a rhino sighting cannot be ruled out! We are now following in the footsteps of the Great Migration, great herds of thousands of zebra and wildebeest getting ready to cross the Mara into Kenya, and back again. On a daily basis, crossings cannot be guaranteed, but our driver-guides know the most likely places to witness them

Overnight Stay at Taasa Lodge (Full Board Accommodation Included)
Day 7 & 8: Full Day Game Drive Northern Serengeti

As you awake for a second & third day in Northern Serengeti, you can contemplate those parts of this northern area can easily match the Southern Serengeti for the abundance of wildlife viewing, especially between July and October. After your breakfast, you will embark with your driver-guide on a full-day game drive, looking out for elephant and buffalo, eland and gazelle. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to spot something really special: perhaps a cheetah, or even a rare black rhino, of which a small population are resident here.
