About this trip
Seven days in the Serengeti, flying straight from Kilimanjaro into the heart of the park at Seronera rather than spending days on the road to get there. It's built around game drives across one of Tanzania's most concentrated wildlife areas, with the Big Five all present in the region.
This is a safari in the classic sense — 4WD vehicles, open plains, and the rhythm of watching and waiting for wildlife rather than ticking off sights. Good for families or first-timers who want the Serengeti experience without a long overland transfer.
You start and end at Kilimanjaro International Airport, with the flight to Seronera bookending the days spent out in the park itself.
