Day by Day Overview
Arriving at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by one of our experienced driver guides, ready to greet and escort you to Arusha and your chosen hotel. He will introduce you to this wonderful city and country.
- Accommodation: Gran Meliá Arusha Hotel
- Meal Plan: Dinner
- Journey time and Distance: 1 hour, 55 km from Kilimanjaro International Airport to Arusha
From your Arusha accommodation, after your breakfast, your Alaitol Safaris driver will transfer you to Arusha airport for your flight to Kogatende airstrip (via Kilimanjaro and Manyara) in the Northern Serengeti.
On arrival, you will be met by your driver guide, who will take you to your camp to enjoy a hot lunch. After your meal, you leave on an afternoon game drive for your first taste of the Northern Serengeti. Between July and October, there can be simply astonishing numbers of animals gathering along the banks of the Mara River.
- Accommodation:Mara Under Canvas
- Meal Plan: Breakfast, hot lunch, dinner and Drinks
- Journey time and Distance: 3 hours from Arusha Airport to Kogatende Airstrip in Northern Serengeti
As you awake for the second day in Northern Serengeti, you can contemplate that parts of this northern area can easily match the Southern Serengeti for the abundance of wildlife viewing, especially between July and September.
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 is resident here. Of course, during these months the Great Migration remains the real focus, with the mighty Mara river proving the obstacle for wildebeest as they seek to cross to and from the Maasai Mara in neighboring Kenya.
- Accommodation: Mara Under Canvas
- Meal Plan: Breakfast, hot lunch, dinner and Drinks
Before leaving the northern part of amazing Serengeti, we take the opportunity this morning to spend more time observing this wonder of the natural world. As well as the huge herds, other animals in the Serengeti include giraffe, gazelle, impala, hartebeest and waterbuck – your driver-guide will be on the lookout for these, as well as some of the over 500 species of birdlife that have been spotted here, and will be able to tell you all about them. In the afternoon, we return to the central part of Serengeti, where you will be taken to your chosen accommodation for relaxation and your evening meal.
- Accommodation: Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge
- Meal Plan: Breakfast, hot lunch, dinner and Drinks
- Journey time and Distance: 5 hours, 155 km from Northern Serengeti to Central Serengeti
Waking up in the Serengeti is something really special. Sights, sounds, and smells of Africa are all around us, and ahead is a full day of adventure in the world’s most famous national park. After breakfast, we start today with the morning section of our game drive in Serengeti National Park, marveling at the stunning scenery, ever-changing light, and always entertaining wildlife, all explained to you by your expert driver guide.
After lunch, we set off again, searching for wildlife in this awe-inspiring park. Serengeti’s wonders evolve subtly as the day progresses. The myriad animals and birds are the ‘stars of the show’ and Nature’s dramas can unfold at any time. Of course, the animals don’t work to any schedule, so we may find lion or leopard, elephant, and zebra, cheetah, and antelope at any time on our drives. At the end of the afternoon, we return to the camp for dinner and some much-needed rest.
