A starting point for your custom trip

Choose the right part of the Serengeti for your dates, then give it time. This example uses a highland stay and domestic flights rather than compressing long drives into wildlife days.

Two full Serengeti days

Ngorongoro Crater visit

Flight connections included in the proposed routing

Day by day

A sample route, refined with you.

Day 1

Arrive in Arusha

Arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport, transfer to Arusha and rest. This example includes your arrival day.

Day 2

Ngorongoro highlands

Drive from Arusha to the highlands and settle into the proposed overnight base.

Day 3

Explore the crater

A crater game drive, with a second highlands night. Access and timings follow conservation-area rules.

Day 4

Fly to the seasonal Serengeti base

Transfer to Manyara airstrip and take a scheduled flight to the appropriate Serengeti area. Connections and stops depend on the final schedule.

Days 5–6

Time on the plains

Two full days of game drives from your seasonal base. Wildlife movement guides the day; crossings and specific sightings are never guaranteed.

Day 7

Return to Arusha

Fly to Arusha. Allow suitable connection time or an extra overnight before international departure.

Your final proposal will confirm the exact route, accommodation, inclusions, and terms before you book.

For the southern plains, a road transfer may replace the flight if suitable. Northern Serengeti needs flight planning or additional overland days. Flights, camp locations and availability are confirmed in your proposal.
