Serengeti fly-in Safari

Safari summary

This 3-day fly-in Serengeti Safari from Zanzibar offers an efficient and thrilling way to experience the world-renowned Serengeti National Park in a short time frame. Perfect for those seeking a quick escape into the wild, this safari is a perfect mix of wildlife viewing, expert guiding, and the convenience of air travel.

Day 1: Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park
The adventure begins with a scenic flight from Zanzibar directly to the Serengeti, offering a spectacular aerial view of Tanzania’s diverse landscapes. Upon arrival, you are greeted by your expert guide, who will take you to your accommodation in the heart of the Serengeti. This allows you to relax and prepare for your first game drive.

In the afternoon, you’ll embark on your first game drive across the park. Serengeti is known for its incredible concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and various other species. Depending on the season, you may even have the chance to witness the iconic Great Migration, where millions of wildebeests and zebras migrate across the plains in search of food and water. The wide open spaces of the Serengeti, combined with the abundance of wildlife, provide for some of the best game viewing opportunities in the world. After an exciting game drive, you’ll return to your lodge for dinner, where you can reflect on the day’s adventures and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the Serengeti.

Day 2: Full-Day Serengeti Safari
Your second day is dedicated to exploring more of Serengeti’s vast and diverse ecosystem. After an early breakfast, head out for a full-day game drive. The morning hours are ideal for observing predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as they are more active in the cooler part of the day. You’ll also encounter grazing herds of wildebeests, gazelles, and buffaloes, which often serve as prey for these predators.

During your game drive, your experienced guide will provide insight into the Serengeti’s ecosystem, explaining the relationship between predators and prey, and sharing stories of the ongoing struggle for survival in this natural world. You may visit different areas of the park, such as the vast grasslands, river systems, and kopjes (rocky outcrops), which provide different habitats for various species.

The Great Migration is a significant highlight for many visitors, especially if you’re traveling between June and October. During this period, millions of wildebeests and zebras migrate in search of greener pastures. Seeing this incredible spectacle is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one of the key reasons people flock to the Serengeti.

Midday, you’ll stop for a picnic lunch in a scenic location, surrounded by nature. It’s a great opportunity to relax and take in the sights and sounds of the Serengeti before continuing your game drive. In the afternoon, you will continue to explore more of the park, potentially encountering new species or witnessing some incredible wildlife interactions. Whether it’s a lion pride resting under a tree or a cheetah stalking its prey, the Serengeti never fails to impress.

After a day filled with unforgettable experiences, you’ll return to your accommodation for a restful evening. The cool evening temperatures in the Serengeti, combined with the sounds of the African wilderness, provide a serene environment to unwind before heading to bed.

Day 3: Serengeti to Zanzibar
On the final day of your safari, you’ll have one last morning game drive before your departure. After breakfast, head out for a short game drive to capture any final glimpses of the wildlife and landscapes that make the Serengeti so special. Whether it’s a final sighting of a pride of lions or a large herd of elephants, you’ll have the opportunity to take in the natural beauty and diversity of this incredible park.

Afterward, you’ll be transferred to the Serengeti airstrip for your flight back to Zanzibar. As you board your flight, you’ll take one last look at the vast plains of the Serengeti, with the hope that the memories of your adventure will last a lifetime. Upon arrival in Zanzibar, you’ll be transferred to your hotel or the airport for your onward journey.
