Safari summary
This 4-day Serengeti safari is designed for travelers who want to experience the very best of Tanzania’s wildlife in a short, well-planned itinerary. It includes full game drives across different regions of the Serengeti, stunning overnight stays in mid-range lodges or tented camps, and a once-in-a-lifetime hot air balloon safari over the plains. Whether you’re looking to see the Big Five, follow the Great Migration (seasonal), or just relax and reconnect with nature in one of Africa’s most iconic national parks, this safari has everything covered.
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive or optional flight from Arusha to Serengeti, where your guide will take you through the heart of the savannah.
