Based on 5 Reviews

About this tour

Fly straight from Zanzibar into the legendary Serengeti for a compact, high-impact safari designed for couples, friends, and families with limited time. On arrival, your Tourias Pride driver-guide greets you at the Serengeti airstrip and you plunge into game viewing right away—tracking big cats on the open plains and following herds along the Seronera river lines. Your base is a comfortable tented camp in Central Serengeti, placing you close to year-round wildlife concentrations and spectacular sunrise/sunset drives.

Over three full days, you’ll explore a mosaic of classic savannah, acacia woodland, and granite kopjes in a private 4×4 with a pop-up roof for prime viewing and photography. Logistics are seamless with scheduled/domestic air transfers to and from Zanzibar, plus included airstrip/airport transfers at both ends. Meals are covered as per the camp plan, and we tailor the daily rhythm to your pace—full-day adventures or split morning/afternoon drives with a relaxing siesta back at camp. After a final morning in the bush, you’ll fly back to Zanzibar with unforgettable sightings and a camera roll full of Serengeti moments.

Trip Itinerary

Day 1:

Central Serengeti

Fly from Zanzibar to the Serengeti, where your Tourias Pride guide meets you right on the airstrip. After a short briefing, set off for your first game drive across the golden plains of Seronera—prime habitat for lions, leopards, and resident plains game. Keep your eyes on the sausage trees and acacia branches for leopard tails and listen for the contact calls of lions around the kopjes. Mid-afternoon, pause at a scenic spot for refreshments before continuing along river lines where elephant and hippo frequent. As the sun lowers, roll into Serengeti Kati Kati tented Camp (or similar), perfectly placed inside the park for quick access at prime wildlife hours. Settle into your ensuite tent, enjoy a hot shower, and gather around the campfire to share first sightings under a sweeping Milky Way.

Day 2: Central Serengeti

Wake before sunrise for the golden hour when predators are most active. Explore the Seronera valley and nearby kopjes, scanning for cheetah on the open short-grass and lions warming on granite slabs. Break for a mid-morning picnic or return to camp for brunch, then relax during the heat of the day—read on your deck or watch giraffe wander by the acacias. In the afternoon, head out again to work the river circuits where leopards hunt among the fig trees and large herds of zebra and buffalo gather. Your guide adapts the route to fresh tracks and radio calls to maximize sightings while keeping a respectful distance. Return to camp in time for dinner and a fireside recap.

Day 3: Central Serengeti

Another immersive day in Central Serengeti. At dawn, follow hyena and jackal along the tracks to see what the night left behind, then cruise wide open plains for elephant, topi, and Thompson’s gazelle. Your guide may loop toward rocky outcrops to check for lion prides lounging between hunts, or stake out a quiet waterhole for classic encounters as wildlife comes to drink. After lunch and a siesta back at camp, your afternoon drive focuses on golden-light photography and last-chance species you’re keen to see. With your private vehicle, the pace stays flexible—linger with a leopard in a sausage tree or move on quickly when a radio call hints at cheetah nearby. Return to camp for your final Serengeti sunset and dinner.
