Itinerary

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), you’ll be warmly welcomed by your professional safari guide and transferred to your accommodation in Arusha. This first day is dedicated to rest and relaxation after your journey, giving you time to settle in and prepare for the incredible safari adventure ahead. Known as the “Gateway to Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit,” Arusha is a lively town with a range of cultural experiences and attractions for those who wish to explore.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast at your accommodation in Arusha, your safari adventure begins. You’ll be transferred to Arusha Airport for a scenic domestic flight to Serengeti National Park. This short flight not only maximizes your time in the park but also offers stunning aerial views of the endless plains and roaming wildlife below.

Upon arrival at Seronera Airstrip, your professional safari guide will be waiting to greet you and kick off your first game drive in the iconic Serengeti. Known for its extraordinary wildlife, the Serengeti offers prime opportunities to spot the legendary Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—as well as an incredible variety of other animals and bird species.

As the sun sets over the savannah, you’ll make your way to your selected lodge or tented camp. Enjoy a delicious dinner and unwind to the natural soundtrack of the African bush beneath a canopy of stars.

Prepare for an unforgettable day as you embark on a full-day safari in the Serengeti. You'll set off early with a packed breakfast, ensuring that you maximize your time for wildlife viewing. The Serengeti's landscape is ever-changing, and your guide will lead you to the best spots to witness the incredible Great Migration, if it's the migration season. The exact location of the wildebeest herds can vary throughout the year.

During your full-day adventure, you'll have a picnic lunch in the heart of the park, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the Serengeti's untamed beauty. The diversity of wildlife and the vastness of the savannah will leave you in awe. Your guide's expertise will enhance your experience, as they share their knowledge about the animals, flora, and fauna of this iconic ecosystem.

As the day draws to a close, you'll return to your lodge or camp, and if time permits, you may get the chance to enjoy a sundowner – a refreshing drink while watching the sun dip below the horizon.

Your final morning in the Serengeti begins with a last game drive—one more chance to spot any elusive wildlife and soak in the serene beauty of the savannah. After the drive, return to your lodge or camp for a hearty breakfast and check-out.

You'll then bid farewell to the Serengeti as you're transferred to Seronera Airstrip for your scheduled domestic flight back to Arusha. Upon landing, your guide will either escort you to your hotel for an extended stay or transfer you directly to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your onward journey.

This 4-day Serengeti Migration Safari will leave you with unforgettable memories of Africa’s iconic wildlife and awe-inspiring landscapes—an adventure you'll treasure for a lifetime.
