SAFARI ITINERARY

Pickup from your hotel in the early morning and transfer to the Serengeti. Arrival by late morning and pickup by your hotel for lunch and full afternoon game drive. As you fly over the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes including the abundant impalas and Thomson's gazelles. As for Big Cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings having been filmed in this park. Smaller animals like foxes, mongoose, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, rock hyrax and African hares, together with more than 500 species of birds, also inhabit this park.
Our recommendations are: Mbugani Camps, Serengeti Sopa Lodge, Chaka Camps, Four Seasons Serengeti, Karibu Sametu Camp, Serengeti Heritage Luxury camps, Angata Camps, Acacia Seronera Luxury Camp, Serengeti Sametu Camp, Serengeti Woodlands Camp.

After breakfast, we have a full day game drive with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion as well as its abundant resident wildlife and its one of the few places where it's possible to see the big five during a morning's game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get better view of prospective prey. 
For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sun birds. Dinner and overnight at campsite or lodge.
Our recommendations are: Julia's River Camp, Ilkeliani Camp, Amani Mara by Spirit of Kenya Collection, &Beyond Kichwa Tembo

Full days in the Serengeti National Park. We are completely flexible with your preferences and this day will be organized according to your wishes. On every day of the safari, your guide will discuss with you the best timings for you, including the game drives and the wake up time. For example, on this day, you could do a morning game drive, return to the camp for lunch and relaxation and finish with an afternoon game drive, or you could do a full day game drive with picnic lunch.
Our recommendations are: Mbugani Camps, Serengeti Sopa Lodge, Chaka Camps, Four Seasons Serengeti, Karibu Sametu Camp, Serengeti Heritage Luxury camps, Angata Camps, Acacia Seronera Luxury Camp, Serengeti Sametu Camp, Serengeti Woodlands Camp.

On this day we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. It's really one of the most beautiful experiences to have. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then we'll proceed to the airstrip for your flight back to Arusha, or whatever your next amazing destination might be (i.e. Zanzibar). Alternatively, instead of this early morning game drive, you may choose to stay at the camp for a bit of relaxation.
