7 DAY AWE-INSPIRING SAFARI TOUR TO SERENGETI
Tanzania has great national parks, relatively untouched by man. Wildlife wanders freely wherever they like to go, based on water and pasture availability. The Safari Tour to Serengeti program has been designed to take you to where the vast migratory herd gathers from July – October. You will observe the massive herd crossing the flooding river, where some drown and others may fall prey to predatory crocodiles (natural calamity).
Day 1: Arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport
Your safari tour to Serengeti National Park starts with pick-up at Kilimanjaro International Airport. After Immigration formalities, meet your driver/guide at an arrival lounge. Your guide will drive you about an hour to your lodge in Arusha. After breakfast the following day, your adventure begins.
Overnight – Kahawa Lodge. (Bed & Breakfast Basis)
Day 2: Arusha – North Serengeti
After breakfast on the first of your 7-day safari tour to Serengeti, depart to Arusha Airport for your flight to the Northern Serengeti. Your safari guide will be waiting at Kogatende Airstrip with a packed lunch from the lodge. After a short orientation about the area, you leave the airstrip straight to a game drive. Kogatende is an area that hosts the great migration from July – late October. It’s phenomenal to get an opportunity to watch the massive herd crossing the flooding Mara River. You’ll have lunch in the bush when you build up an appetite. After lunch, you will carry on with the game drive for a few hours.
Dinner & overnight – Kati Kati Mara Tented Camp. (All meals included.)
Day 3: Northern Serengeti
You’ll get an early start after breakfast for a game drive with a packed lunch. We recommend going with a packed lunch because seeing the crossing can sometimes take hours of waiting, so if you haven’t seen the crossing in the morning and it gets close to lunchtime, you won’t miss the opportunity if you have your lunch with you. We’ll have lunch in the bush when you build up an appetite. After lunch, we’ll continue with the game drive for a few more hours.
Dinner & overnight – Kati Kati Mara Tented Camp. (All meals included.)
Day 4: Northern Serengeti – Central Serengeti
After breakfast, depart to the Central Serengeti via Lobo with a packed lunch. Lobo is another part of the Northern Serengeti that is less visited. The game drive to the Central Serengeti via other remote areas of the Northern Serengeti maximizes the chances of seeing a lot more. We’ll have lunch in the bush when you build up an appetite. After lunch we’ll continue with the game drive on your way to the Central Serengeti.
Dinner & overnight – Kati Kati Tented Camp. (All meals included.)
Day 5: Central Serengeti
After an early breakfast on day 5 of your safari tour to Serengeti, you will depart for a game drive. The central part of the Serengeti has a resident population of wildlife that stays year-round. However, the area is among the few places in Africa where big cats can be found much more easily than in the other parts of the park. Fascinating landscapes and varied terrain create a habitat rich in a variety of flora and fauna, which makes this area great for safaris all year round.
Dinner & overnight – Kati Kati Tented Camp. (All meals included.)
Day 6: Central Serengeti – Crater Tour
You will take a packed breakfast for an early start to the famous Ngorongoro Crater. Ngorongoro Conservation Area covers 8,292 square kilometers (5200 square miles). The crater was formed over 2.5 million years ago after violent volcanic activities. The volcano eventually collapsed to form a huge depression known as a crater, though technically it is a caldera due to the type of formation and the size of the area.
Dinner & overnight – Karibu Camp.
Day 7: Ngorongoro – Arusha
After breakfast, depart to Arusha for lunch and a dayroom; late evening transferr to Kilimanjaro Airport your flight back home.

Safari Pricing Explained
Why is my safari more expensive with less people in the group?
Safaris are a mixture of fixed costs for the tour company (JAfrica) ie staff, vehicle, food, and external costs which come in the shape of accommodation and park fees etc.
When pricing a safari we divide our fixed cost by the number of people in the safari truck to work out a cost per PAX, then we add on the accomodation and park fees.
This means that the fixed costs are shared by the people travelling, so the more peole in the group, the less the individual is required to pay. If you have any quieries regarding this or anything else about your safari trip to Africa please feel free to contact us.
Please call or email for child pricing, depending on the numbers in your group we can negotiate better room rates with the lodges.
Solo travelers, please email us for the best/latest pricing.
