You should be aware that this is wild nature, so the guide cannot guarantee the presence of specific wild animals, but you can be sure he will do his best to find everything you're looking for! The team has its own radio channel that the drivers use to communicate with other guides and collaborate on searches for rare species.

At lunchtime, you will be provided with a meal, after which the safari will continue. In the evening, you will be transferred to the hotel in Arusha or the airport for drop-off.

You won’t find many better national parks in Africa than the Serengeti, which has few rivals when it comes to both the
numbers and variety of animals. Track down the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra.

Enjoy the vast horizons that are perfect for spotting predators (especially lions, leopards, cheetahs and spotted hyenas) and their prey (buffaloes, impalas and kongoni), as well as elephants and giraffes.

And at every turn, revel in its beauty, with flat-topped acacia trees silhouetted against the setting sun, and so many other classic African safari images.
