Into the Legendary Serengeti
A short morning flight transfers you from Tarangire to the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, a sprawling 14,750-square-kilometer ecosystem where predator and prey exist in perfect, primal balance.

The Serengeti is synonymous with unscripted wildlife drama.

Multiple game drives throughout the day maximize your chances of witnessing predator-prey interactions and rare big cat sightings.
