Serengeti Safari From Zanzibar

Safari summary

This tour takes you from the beaches of Zanzibar to the wide-open plains of the Serengeti, one of Africa’s most famous wildlife destinations. In just two days, you will experience thrilling game drives, see a wide variety of animals, and enjoy the beauty and magic of the African savannah. It is a short but unforgettable safari, perfect for travelers who want to combine a beach holiday with a true safari adventure.

Your adventure begins with a scenic flight from Zanzibar to Seronera airstrip, located in the central part of Serengeti National Park. Upon arrival, our professional guide will meet you and take you directly for your first game drive. The Seronera area is famous for its year-round abundance of wildlife and is one of the best areas to spot predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs. You will also see large herds of elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, and many other animals moving freely across the plains. The landscape here is made up of grassy plains, river valleys, and rocky hills called kopjes, which are perfect spots to watch wildlife in action.

In the afternoon, continue exploring the park on a game drive. This is the perfect time to enjoy the golden light of the Serengeti sunset while watching animals in their natural environment. Keep your camera ready, as you may witness exciting moments such as lions resting on kopjes, elephants bathing in waterholes, or giraffes browsing treetops. After the game drive, return to your camp for a relaxing evening. Enjoy dinner under the stars while listening to the sounds of the African bush.

The second day begins early with a sunrise game drive. Morning is one of the best times to see predators hunting and animals starting their day. You may encounter lions on the move, cheetahs sprinting across the plains, or large herds of wildebeest and zebra grazing peacefully. The sunrise over the endless savannah is a breathtaking experience, making this moment truly magical.

For those looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, there is an optional hot air balloon safari available at an extra cost. The balloon ride begins before sunrise, allowing you to float quietly above the Serengeti plains as the first light of day spreads across the landscape. From this unique perspective, you can see herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, and giraffes moving across the park. After landing, a champagne toast and a bush breakfast are served in the middle of the savannah, offering a perfect way to celebrate this unforgettable experience.

After breakfast, you will enjoy another game drive, exploring more of the Seronera region and spotting animals that may have been missed on the first day. You will then return to Seronera airstrip for your flight back to Zanzibar.

This safari, though short, combines the excitement of seeing Africa’s wildlife with the convenience of a fly-in safari. It offers an incredible chance to experience the Serengeti’s beauty, watch animals in their natural environment, and create memories that will last a lifetime—all while still enjoying a holiday in Zanzibar.
