5-Day Fly-In Safari from Zanzibar to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara & Tarangire

Begin your journey with a scenic 1.5–2 hour flight from Zanzibar to Seronera Airstrip, located in the wildlife-rich heart of the Central Serengeti. Upon landing, enjoy a full-day game drive through golden savannahs, iconic kopjes, and acacia-dotted plains. Spot lions, giraffes, cheetahs, elephants, and more in this legendary wildlife corridor.

Spend a full day uncovering the wildlife secrets of the Seronera Valley, a region famed for year-round predator activity. With permanent water sources attracting large herds of antelope and buffalo, this is the perfect hunting ground for lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Explore various ecosystems, from open plains to riverine forests, for a truly dynamic safari experience.

After breakfast, enjoy a scenic 3–4 hour drive through the Serengeti plains en route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend into the UNESCO-listed Ngorongoro Crater, a massive volcanic caldera teeming with Big Five game, including the rare black rhino. Witness the sheer density of wildlife in this unique natural enclosure.

After breakfast, head to Lake Manyara, a lush and diverse park famous for its tree-climbing lions, pink-hued flamingos, elephants, hippos, and baboons. Enjoy a mid-morning game drive through forested paths and lakeside terrain. Optionally, relax at your luxury tented lodge with sweeping views of Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Valley.

End your safari with a final game drive in Tarangire National Park, known for its huge elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and dramatic river landscapes. After your drive, transfer to Arusha Airport for your afternoon flight back to Zanzibar, arriving just in time to unwind on the beach or catch your international departure.
