Safari Overview

This five-day luxury fly-in safari eliminates the long overland drives and places you in the heart of the Serengeti within hours of departing Arusha. A scenic bush flight delivers you to an airstrip near your luxury tented camp, where you step off the plane and into the wilderness with a cold drink in hand and your private guide waiting. Luxury tented camps in the Serengeti redefine what it means to sleep under canvas. Spacious tents with hardwood floors, king-size beds with fine linens, en-suite bathrooms with flushing toilets and hot showers, and private verandas overlooking the plains create a level of comfort that is almost surreal in such a remote setting. Gourmet meals, premium beverages, and personalized service rival the finest boutique hotels. Your private guide and dedicated safari vehicle mean complete flexibility. Game drives start when you choose, last as long as you wish, and follow whatever wildlife captures your interest. Sundowner cocktails on the plains, bush breakfasts beside kopjes, and night drives to spot nocturnal predators are woven into an experience that is as exclusive as it is thrilling. The tour includes a fly-in to the Serengeti and a half-day crater tour at Ngorongoro on the return journey.

  • Scenic bush flights
