Arusha to Seronera, Serengeti

Morning transfer to Arusha Airport for a scheduled flight to Seronera airstrip in the central Serengeti — around 45-60 minutes in the air versus 6+ hours by road. Your driver-guide meets you at the airstrip for a game drive en route to your camp, arriving in time for lunch.

Full Day, Central Serengeti

A full day of game drives around the Seronera Valley, one of the Serengeti's most reliable areas for lion and leopard sightings year-round thanks to its permanent river system. Morning and afternoon drives, with a midday break at camp during the heat of the day.

Full Day, Northern or Western Serengeti (season-dependent)

A second full day exploring a different part of the park — the Mara River area in the north (June-October, migration river crossings) or the Western Corridor (May-July) depending on where the wildlife is concentrated when you travel. Your guide plans the day around what's actually happening on the ground.

Serengeti to Arusha

A final short game drive on the way to the airstrip, then a scheduled flight back to Arusha with sweeping aerial views over the Ngorongoro Conservation Area highlands before landing.

Our guide Dullah Mr Rastaman had the best vibe. I would like to recommend other people not to miss it, Tarangire is the best national park.
