3-Day Serengeti Safari

Experience the best of Serengeti National Park on a concise three-day safari designed for travelers short on time but eager for a remarkable adventure. This itinerary covers the park’s highlights, including the Great Migration and prime predator viewing. Day one features your transfer from Arusha or Karatu, with a game drive en route. The second day is dedicated to a full-day exploration of central Serengeti, renowned for its lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, and migratory herds. The final morning offers a last game drive before your return. Ideal for guests seeking an immersive Serengeti experience within a limited timeframe.
Day 1: Transfer to Serengeti & Game Drive
Begin your morning with a convenient hotel pick-up in Arusha or Karatu. Your journey takes you through the striking Ngorongoro Highlands, passing notable Maasai villages along the way, before entering Serengeti National Park for your first game drive. Take a break for a picnic lunch amid the park’s expansive plains, perfect for observing the region’s diverse wildlife. The afternoon continues with another game drive as you proceed toward your selected lodge or camp. Throughout the day, you may spot lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, and, if the timing is right, large wildebeest herds. Wrap up your day with dinner and an overnight stay in the Serengeti.
Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive in Serengeti
Begin your day with an early breakfast before departing on a full-day game drive in the central Serengeti’s Seronera Valley. This region is renowned for sightings of big cats, including cheetahs, leopards, and lions, in their natural environment. At midday, enjoy a picnic lunch at a carefully selected scenic location within the park. Following lunch, the exploration continues as you traverse various landscapes, from open savannah grasslands to riverine areas, with the opportunity to observe the Great Migration if the timing aligns. The day concludes as you return to your lodge or camp for dinner and overnight accommodations.
Day 3: Serengeti Morning Safari & Return
Morning: Participate in a sunrise game drive for additional wildlife viewing and predator sightings. After breakfast, begin your journey back via Ngorongoro to Arusha or Karatu.
Midday: Picnic lunch during the transfer.
