Day 1

Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park

Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park

Upon your arrival at the Seronera Airstrip, our driver will greet you to begin your adventure in the renowned Serengeti National Park, famously known as "The Endless Plain." This park is celebrated for its abundant resident wildlife, including the iconic “Big Five”: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo.

As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Serengeti is home to approximately 200,000 zebras and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelles that migrate alongside the wildebeests in search of fresh grazing grounds. Experience the thrilling sound of over 6 million hooves thundering across the Serengeti’s vast plains, just as you’ve always imagined African wildlife.

After a day of exploration, you’ll head to your accommodation at the Matawi Luxury Tented Lodge for a relaxing evening and an overnight stay.

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

The Serengeti also hosts a diverse array of dung beetles and is home to approximately 500 bird species.

In the morning, you’ll embark on a game drive through Serengeti National Park before heading to the Ngorongoro Crater. After breakfast, we’ll make our way to the Ngorongoro Crater, where we’ll descend 600 meters into this breathtaking caldera for a full-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich areas, home to approximately 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos.

With its year-round water supply and ample fodder, the crater supports a wide variety of wildlife, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. The park is also famous for its dense predator population, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopards, which can be difficult to spot.
