Day by Day Itinerary

Day 1: Arusha to Seronera in the Central Serengeti

Your safari begins in Arusha with a morning flight to the Serengeti, landing near the heart of the park in the Seronera area of Central Serengeti. This region is accessible via a short domestic flight from Arusha, allowing you to maximize your wildlife time while bypassing long road journeys. Once on the ground, you will embark on an afternoon game drive to explore the park’s diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife.

Seronera is known for its rolling grassy plains, rocky kopjes, and riverine woodlands, creating varied habitats that support a rich array of animals year-round. Expect to see large prides of lions, leopards resting on granite outcrops, and herds of elephant and buffalo. The Seronera River attracts thirsty animals, making game viewing particularly rewarding. Afternoon drives typically last 3 to 4 hours, offering excellent opportunities for photography and close encounters with big game.

This day is designed with family travellers in mind, offering a manageable pace after your flight and an exciting introduction to Serengeti wildlife. Your private guide will tailor the experience to your group’s interests and needs, ensuring children and adults alike stay engaged and comfortable during your first game drive.

After the afternoon safari, return to your camp or lodge in the Seronera area to relax and enjoy dinner under the African sky, preparing for the adventures ahead.

The western route offers a unique perspective on Serengeti ecology, contrasting with Central Serengeti’s landscapes. In the late afternoon, arrive at your lodge or camp situated in the Western Corridor, where you can relax and reflect on the day’s discoveries over dinner.
