Day 1: Arrival in Arusha – Flight to Serengeti – First Game Drive
Your adventure begins with a scenic flight from Arusha to the Serengeti National Park. On arrival at Seronera Airstrip, your private safari guide will greet you, and you’ll head straight into the Serengeti for your first game drive.
The Seronera region is known for its high predator concentration, and you’ll likely spot lions, leopards, and cheetahs as you make your way to your luxurious tented camp or lodge. After check-in and lunch, enjoy a sunset game drive where the golden light makes for fantastic photography. Cap the day with a gourmet bush dinner under the stars.

Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive – Tracking the Great Migration
Start your day with a delicious breakfast and an early departure on a full-day game drive focused on tracking the Great Migration. The Serengeti’s endless plains are home to hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles moving across the landscape in search of fresh grazing lands.
You’ll spend the day in areas known for migration activity, and depending on the season, you may witness the Mara River crossings or see newborn wildebeest during the calving season. Midday, take a break for a gourmet picnic in the bush, where you can enjoy fine food while being surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.
Continue the afternoon game drive in pursuit of wildlife and predators that follow the migration. Return to camp in the evening for a relaxing dinner, prepared by your private chef, as the Serengeti night sky unfolds above you.
Day 3: Hot Air Balloon Safari (Optional) & Big Cat Encounters
Rise early for an optional hot air balloon safari, offering stunning views of the Serengeti from above. As the balloon floats over the plains at dawn, watch the herds of wildebeest and zebras from the sky. After landing, enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush to celebrate the morning.
Following this unforgettable experience, embark on a specialized big cat safari, tracking the Serengeti’s famous predators. Your guide will take you to areas where lions, cheetahs, and leopards are likely to be found. Spend the rest of the day observing these magnificent animals in action, whether hunting or lounging in the shade.
In the afternoon, return to your lodge for a relaxing break, perhaps indulging in a spa treatment or enjoying a dip in the infinity pool. Cap the day with another sunset game drive and a private bush dinner beneath the stars.
Day 4: Full-Day Migration Safari – Exploring Different Regions
After a hearty breakfast, head out for another full day of game drives to explore the diverse ecosystems of the Serengeti. Depending on the time of year, you will witness different aspects of the Great Migration. During the dry season (June–October), you might encounter river crossings, where herds brave crocodile-filled waters. During the green season (January–March), you’ll witness the calving season, when wildebeest give birth and predators are in full force.
Stop for a gourmet lunch in the bush, and then continue exploring different regions, such as the Moru Kopjes or Ndutu area, where wildlife thrives. Along the way, spot a variety of animals such as elephants, giraffes, and buffalo, before returning to your camp for a relaxing evening.
Day 5: Final Game Drive – Scenic Flight Back to Arusha
On your final morning, enjoy a sunrise game drive, which offers great opportunities for predator sightings as they are still active at dawn. After a final look at the magnificent Serengeti wildlife, return to your camp for breakfast.
Following breakfast, you’ll be transferred to Seronera Airstrip for your scenic flight back to Arusha. Take one last aerial view of the Serengeti as you make your way back to the city. If time permits, you can enjoy a farewell lunch at a luxury lodge in Arusha before continuing your journey onward.
