4-Day Fly-In Serengeti Express

Duration: 4 Days / 3 Nights

Safari Types: Private • Fly-in • Photographic • Honeymoon
Starting Point/End: Arusha or Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) — optional start/end in Zanzibar

Overview

Short on time, big on wildlife. This fly-in plan drops you straight into the Serengeti so you spend your hours on game drives—not on long road transfers. Depending on your dates, we base you in Central Serengeti for reliable big-cat action or Northern Serengeti (Jun–Oct) near the Mara River for Great Migration drama. A dedicated guide and 4×4 keep the pace flexible for sunrise and golden-hour viewing.

Itinerary (Day by Day)

Day 1: Fly to the Serengeti — First Game Drive

Morning flight from Arusha/Zanzibar to a Serengeti airstrip (Seronera or Kogatende season-dependent). Meet your guide and enjoy a leisurely game drive en-route to camp. Afternoon drive for lions, giraffe, elephants, and—if lucky—cheetah on the plains.
Overnight in Serengeti.

Dawn start to catch predators active and soft light for photos. Explore kopjes, river lines and open grasslands; picnic in the bush and continue through the afternoon.
Overnight in Serengeti.

Second full day to deepen sightings. Track prides, scan for leopards in sausage trees, and follow seasonal herds. Optional hot-air balloon at sunrise (extra cost, weather permitting).
Overnight in Serengeti.

Short farewell drive (time allowing) and flight back to Arusha or Zanzibar for onward travel or beach time.
