Zanzibar to Arusha National Park

Depending on where you’ll be staying in Zanzibar, a driver will pick you up at 5:00 am and drive you to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport. You’ll arrive in Arusha at 9:20 am where a professional guide will be waiting to greet and brief you on your upcoming journey. After the briefing, you'll drive for 2 hours to Arusha National Park.

Arusha National Park has a mix of different habitats like swamps, grasslands, and forests. Mount Meru's slopes are covered in rainforests, and the park is home to beautiful animals like black-and-white colobus monkeys and flamingos at Momella Lake.

Many animals and birds, including flamingos, are drawn to this special environment. A walking safari allows you to see these animals up close. A surreal experience indeed!

Day 4

Full-Day Serengeti Game Drive

Full-Day Serengeti Game Drive

We hope you're excited for today! We'll be in the park all day long.

At dawn, after a simple light breakfast, we'll set out and begin our journey. We will go on a full-day wildlife drive to explore the Serengeti's stunning surroundings and look for the Big 5.

After that spectacular morning game drive, we'll go back to the campsite for a cooked lunch before leaving for yet another spectacular late afternoon game drive.

You see, the Serengeti is home to more than just huge creatures. Over 500 different bird species have been identified, from the enormous ostrich and strange secretary bird of the open grassland to the black eagles that swoop gracefully over the savannah. That's what makes this wildlife "sanctuary" magical.

That being said, we'll keep on looking for wildlife in the Serengeti, then head back to camp for some delicious dinner and a rustic night rest.

Main Destination:
Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
