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. Over the next few days, you’ll explore the vast open plains, rocky kopjes, riverbanks, and woodlands in search of lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hyenas, hippos, and more. Your guide will help you track wildlife and share deep local knowledge to enhance your experience.

The highlight of the safari is the unforgettable hot air balloon ride, which takes place early in the morning. You’ll float silently above the Serengeti as the sun rises, watching animals move across the plains in the golden light. After landing, enjoy a champagne-style bush breakfast set in the wild — a truly magical experience.

Evenings are spent relaxing at your lodge or tented camp. These handpicked accommodations offer comfort, local hospitality, and a true sense of being in the wild — with all necessary amenities. You’ll enjoy fresh meals, campfires, and peaceful nights under the African stars.
