Depart Zanzibar and arrive at a regional airstrip near the Serengeti. From here, meet your driver-guide and commence your first game drive into the Serengeti’s central region, where expansive plains and scattered kopjes set the stage for your first encounters with lions, elephants, giraffes, and plains game. As afternoon light deepens, continue game viewing on your way to camp, where dinner and an evening at leisure await.

After breakfast, embark on an extended game drive that may take you from the Seronera area toward the more remote northern reaches of the Serengeti. This fly-in safari structure allows you to cover more ground with less time lost in transit, increasing your chances of witnessing iconic wildlife moments — from predator-prey interactions to vast herds of plains animals. Lunch and additional game viewing continue throughout the day before returning to your camp for dinner and an open-air evening under the stars.

Today’s adventure begins with a morning game drive through the plains before transferring to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater — the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera — and spend the day exploring its wildlife-rich floor. Here, dense populations of herbivores attract resident predators, making this one of East Africa’s most dependable game-viewing destinations. Enjoy a picnic lunch within the crater before ascending to your lodge near the rim for the evening.

After breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park, a landscape defined by majestic baobab trees and the life-giving Tarangire River. This park has some of the highest concentrations of elephants in the region, and year-round water sources support abundant wildlife and birdlife. Spend the full day on game drives, exploring riverine corridors and open savannah where wildlife gathers at dusk, ending the day at your lodge for dinner and rest.

Rise early for one final morning game drive in Tarangire, when wildlife is most active and lighting is ideal for photography. After breakfast and a final safari experience in the bush, transfer to the regional airstrip for your flight back to Zanzibar. As your journey concludes, you’ll depart with unforgettable memories of Tanzania’s rich wildlife and dramatic landscapes.
