Before you travel, you can also read about the area on the official Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) website. For more ideas, see our other Serengeti National Park tours.

Welcome to Tanzania! When you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, our safari representative meets you and drives you to your budget lodge in Arusha. The town sits at the foot of Mount Meru. It is also the gateway to Tanzania’s famous Northern Safari Circuit and the starting point for your unforgettable safari in Tanzania.

Depending on your arrival time, you can relax at the lodge or explore the vibrant city. For example, visit local markets, cultural centres or coffee shops and enjoy Tanzania’s warm hospitality. In this way, Arusha gives you an excellent introduction to Tanzanian culture and daily life before the safari begins.

In the evening, your safari guide gives you a detailed briefing. It covers the itinerary, what wildlife to expect, park rules, safety and travel logistics. So you are fully prepared for the exciting days ahead.

Then enjoy a delicious dinner while you meet your fellow travellers and talk about the safari. The evening is also a chance to relax after your international flight and get ready for Tanzania’s wilderness.

Itinerary

Your 6 Day Serengeti Safari begins with a morning departure from Arusha in a comfortable 4x4 safari vehicle. First, you travel through the scenic Great Rift Valley and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Serengeti National Park. Then, as you enter the park at Naabi Hill Gate, your professional guide starts your first game drive. Straight away, you meet the incredible wildlife and breathtaking landscapes of the Serengeti.

Next, the drive continues across the southern and western plains of the Serengeti. These areas are known for abundant wildlife, such as elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and antelopes. You may also see predators such as lions and cheetahs. Along the way, you enjoy spectacular scenery and excellent chances for wildlife photography.

After an exciting afternoon game drive, you arrive at Serengeti Explorer by Elewana. The lodge sits on the Nyaboro Hills in the southwestern part of the Central Serengeti. It offers panoramic views across the endless plains, so it is an elegant place to relax and watch a stunning African sunset after your first day on safari.
