Day 1 · Central Serengeti (Seronera)
Zanzibar to Serengeti
Your journey begins with a hotel pickup in Zanzibar, followed by a scenic drive to the airport. From there, you’ll board a small plane and soar through the skies to reach Serengeti. Upon landing at Seronera Airstrip, a private safari vehicle will be waiting for you. Around 11:00 am, you’ll kickstart your exploration of Serengeti. After an eventful day, you’ll head to your accommodation for a delightful dinner and a comfortable overnight stay. Overnight at Lala Salama Serengeti Luxury Camp • Luxury tented camp located inside Serengeti NP.
The Seronera valley is the heart of the Serengeti and a year-round game-viewing area. Permanent water, rocky kopjes and short-grass plains create the highest density of big cats in Africa: roughly 1 lion per 10 km², and the best leopard sightings on the circuit.
Mornings start before sunrise to catch the cats while they are still active; midday is a slow picnic in the shade of an acacia. In the afternoon we work the riverine fig trees for leopards and the kopjes for resting prides. Distances are long but every stop is worth it.
Today's plan
- Dawn departure for prime cat activity
- Picnic lunch on a Seronera kopje
- Search the fig trees for leopards
- Optional hot-air balloon safari at sunrise (extra)
