Day 1
Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park (Central Serengeti)

Your journey begins with a morning flight from Zanzibar to the Serengeti National Park. Upon arrival at the airstrip in Central Serengeti, your experienced safari driver/guide will welcome you and give you a briefing before you head straight into the wild. In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive through the Central Serengeti, a region teeming with wildlife. You’ll explore expansive plains where lions lounge under acacia trees, cheetahs stalk their prey, and herds of wildebeests and zebras roam. A picnic lunch will be served within the park, giving you time to take in the vast and beautiful savannah. In the evening, transfer to your midrange lodge or tented camp for a freshly prepared dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.

A picnic lunch will be served at a scenic spot within the crater.
