Overview

About this trip

The Serengeti is the heart of African safari. Over five days you'll explore the central Seronera, the Western Corridor, and the Ngorongoro Crater — three of the most wildlife-dense regions on Earth. Expect daily game drives in a 4x4 safari vehicle with a professional guide, comfortable lodge or luxury tented camp accommodation, and front-row seats to lions, elephants, leopards, and (in season) the great wildebeest migration.

What makes this special

  • Three of Tanzania's flagship parks in one trip
  • Chance to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo)
