Itinerary

Your adventure begins in Zanzibar, where you will take a scheduled flight to KogatendeAirstrip in Northern Serengeti. Upon arrival, meet your professional safari guide and begin your first game drive through the spectacular Northern Serengeti. The Kogatende region is known for its beautiful landscapes, abundant wildlife and, depending on the season, the movement of the Great Migration. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the wilderness before continuing your game drive, with opportunities to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo and many other species. In the late afternoon, continue to your accommodation for dinner and relaxation.

Accommodation: Safari Haven

Main Activity: Flight & Game Drive

After breakfast, set out for a full-day game drive in Northern Serengeti. Today is dedicated entirely to exploring the remote wilderness around Kogatende. Your guide will choose the best areas based on wildlife activity and current conditions. Keep your eyes open for the Serengeti's famous predators, including lions, leopards and cheetahs, as well as elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, wildebeest and zebra. If you travel during the Great Migration period, you may also have the opportunity to see large herds moving through the northern Serengeti. Wildlife movements are natural and unpredictable, so sightings and river crossings cannot be guaranteed. Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the sounds and scenery of the African wilderness before continuing your afternoon game drive. Return to camp in the evening for dinner and a relaxing night beneath the Serengeti sky.

As you move south toward the Seronera area, the landscape changes and offers excellent opportunities for spotting resident wildlife. Central Serengeti is particularly well known for its year-round wildlife and predator sightings. Arrive at your accommodation in the afternoon and, depending on time and wildlife activity, enjoy an additional game drive around the Central Serengeti. Later, return to your lodge for dinner and relaxation.
