Serengeti Escape Itinerary

Begin this wildlife adventure in Arusha, Tanzania's safari capital. Welcome in a fresh African day at the foot of mighty Mt Meru, the majestic giant, with a thick coating of dense jungle that towers over Arusha and is a vivid example of the African wilds that await in the surrounding national parks. Head for the Serengeti through rolling plains and spend the night in a traditional African lodge, deep in the park itself. Fall asleep to the sounds of the African wilderness, looking out over the Serengeti.

Spend two full days thoroughly exploring the famous Serengeti. With such a high concentration of native African wildlife, keep an eye out for Africa's Big Five. See prides of lions hunting their prey, majestic elephants frolicking with their children and great herds of wildebeest crossing the never-ending plains en masse. Perhaps take an optional hot air balloon ride as the sun rises over the Serengeti, see the diverse landscape and its wild residents from a bird's-eye view and take advantage of unbeatable photo opportunities. Return each night to the comfort of a well equipped lodge and enjoy fresh, locally sourced food, prepared the classic African way.

Arrive back in Arusha in the afternoon. Why not stay a little longer and take advantage of the laidback atmosphere of this proud African town, nestled in the heart of Africa and surrounded by some of the world's most famous and revered natural landscapes.
