Your safari begins with a morning flight from Zanzibar’s Abeid Amani Karume International Airport to the Western Serengeti Corridor airstrip, located near the Grumeti River. This short flight offers scenic views of Tanzania’s coastline and vast savannahs as you head inland. Upon arrival, you will be met by your private guide and vehicle to begin your safari adventure.
The Western Serengeti Corridor is renowned for its diverse landscapes, ranging from open plains to riverine woodlands along the Grumeti River. This region is a key part of the wildebeest migration route and offers excellent opportunities to spot predators such as lions and cheetahs alongside elephants, hippos, and various antelope species. The late afternoon is ideal for your first game drive, exploring the nearby habitats and observing wildlife activity as the day cools.
This day’s schedule is designed to be family-friendly, allowing time to settle into the rhythms of safari life without long drives. Your guide will tailor the afternoon game viewing to your interests, whether seeking big cats or birdlife, ensuring an engaging experience for travellers of all ages.
After the game drive, you will return to your camp or lodge in the Western Serengeti, where you can relax and enjoy dinner surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.
