Serengeti Explorer

7 Days / 6 Nights

The trip

There are very few places on Earth where wildlife still moves exactly as it has for thousands of years. The Serengeti is one of them.

There are very few places on Earth where wildlife still moves exactly as it has for thousands of years. The Serengeti is one of them.

Endless golden plains stretch to the horizon, interrupted only by ancient granite kopjes, scattered acacia trees and the silhouettes of giraffes and elephants wandering through the landscape. It is a place where every sunrise promises a new story and every game drive unfolds differently from the last.

By dividing your stay between the Central and Northern Serengeti, this itinerary allows you to experience two very different faces of Tanzania's most celebrated national park. The Central Serengeti is renowned for its resident predators, where lions, leopards and cheetahs are seen throughout the year, while the Northern Serengeti comes alive during the Great Migration as thousands of wildebeest and zebra brave the crocodile-filled waters of the Mara River.

With six nights entirely within the Serengeti ecosystem, you have the luxury of slowing down, following wildlife movements and truly immersing yourself in one of the greatest wildernesses on the planet. This is not simply a safari—it is an opportunity to witness nature exactly as it was meant to be.
