Your Itinerary

Day 01

Fly from Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park & Game Drive

  • Activity: Fly-in Safari & Game Drive
  • Meals Included: Lunch & Dinner

Your adventure begins with a flight from Zanzibar to the legendary Serengeti National Park. Upon arrival at the airstrip, meet your professional safari guide and begin exploring the vast plains of the Serengeti. Enjoy an exciting game drive while searching for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and other wildlife. Timing is planned around local conditions so the experience remains relaxed and appropriate for the coast. Your guide or activity team will explain the day’s arrangements, safety considerations and what to bring before setting out. There is time to appreciate the scenery without rushing, whether the focus is the shoreline, island culture or time on the water. The schedule remains flexible enough to respond responsibly to tides, weather and sea conditions.

Accommodation

Enkirari Wilderness Camp

Enkirari Wilderness Camp is an under-canvas property in the heart of the central Serengeti. Its location among open plains and scattered acacia keeps guests close to the Seronera region’s varied game-drive circuits. En-suite safari tents, a mess area and campfire space provide the essentials for a comfortable wilderness stay without separating guests from the sounds of the park. The camp is a practical base for consecutive Serengeti days and for routes continuing toward Ngorongoro or the migration regions.
