Tour overview
The Serengeti, without the long drive: fly in, explore deeply and fly out.
Short on time but determined to see the Serengeti? This four-day fly-in safari is crafted for exactly that. Instead of a long road journey, you fly from Arusha straight into the heart of the park, enjoying wonderful views from the air, and begin game viewing almost the moment you land.
Three nights in a camp in the central Serengeti put you among some of the greatest concentrations of wildlife in Africa: great herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo and topi, and more predators than almost anywhere else on the continent. With two full days of game drives, you have time to follow the herds, watch the big cats and soak up the endless plains.
Flights can start from Kilimanjaro, Arusha or Zanzibar, and on your final morning you fly out from Seronera airstrip to the destination of your choice.

Your journey, day by day
Open each day to see the route, the safari experience and where you will sleep in each accommodation level.
Day01Flight from Arusha to Serengeti National Park (Central)
After breakfast at around 08:00 your driver guide transfers you to Arusha Airport for your scheduled flight to Seronera airstrip in the central Serengeti. Your safari driver guide meets you on landing and drives you to your camp for lunch.
In the afternoon you set out on your first game drive through the central Serengeti, known for its great concentrations of wildlife, from large herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, topi and warthog to a healthier population of predators than almost any other protected area in Africa. All of the Big Five roam freely here.
Return to your camp for a memorable first dinner and a night in the African bush.

Day02Full day in Serengeti National Park
After breakfast at around 08:00 you venture deep into the Serengeti for a full day of game drives. In the rains the grasslands become a green carpet; in the dry season they turn a deep brown under the scorching sun, and the wildlife viewing is exceptional throughout the year.
Depending on the season, you may be surrounded by vast herds of wildebeest and zebra. At the right time of year they gather on the banks of the 395-kilometre Mara River, which rises in central Kenya and flows into Lake Victoria, one of Africa's great lakes, and plunge across while giant Nile crocodiles wait beneath the surface. The weak and the stragglers fall to the predators that follow the herds.
After a picnic lunch on the plains you return to your camp for dinner and the night.

Day03Second full day in Serengeti National Park
A second full day of game drives lets you explore new corners of the Serengeti with your guide: the kopjes where lions rest, the riverine woodland favoured by leopards and the open plains where cheetahs hunt.
The Serengeti is home to the Big Five and to the scavengers that follow them, and every drive brings new scenes. Relish every moment, enjoy hearty meals in the bush, and spend a final night at your camp under the Serengeti sky.

Day04Serengeti game drive and flight out
After breakfast, and depending on your flight schedule, you enjoy a short scenic game drive across the central Serengeti, taking in its rolling landscapes and endless sunlit plains one last time.
Your guide then drops you at Seronera airstrip for your flight to Arusha, Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar. We wish you a safe journey and a lifetime of memories.
