3-Day Arusha to Serengeti Fly-in Fly-out Safari

Your journey begins with a scenic bush flight from Arusha to the legendary Serengeti. As you soar over the Great Rift Valley and endless savannahs, you'll get your first taste of Tanzania's vast wilderness. Upon landing in the Central Serengeti — known as the heart of big cat territory — you’ll be met by your safari guide and begin your first game drive right from the airstrip. This region is rich in resident wildlife year-round, so you may see elephants, giraffes, lions, or even cheetahs within minutes. After lunch at your lodge or picnic style in the bush, enjoy an afternoon drive before settling into your camp for a night surrounded by the sounds of nature.

Today is dedicated to exploring the Central Serengeti, a region famed for its dense wildlife populations and open plains dotted with granite kopjes — perfect hiding spots for predators. Your expert guide will customize the day’s route based on animal movements and your interests. Expect to encounter herds of zebra and wildebeest, prides of lions lounging in the sun, and perhaps a solitary leopard resting in a tree. With the flexibility of a full day, you can enjoy a packed lunch in the bush to maximize time on safari or return to camp for a mid-day rest before heading out again in the golden light of late afternoon.

On your final morning, rise early for one last game drive — early hours are prime time for spotting predators on the move and the landscape bathed in soft light is unforgettable. After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airstrip for your return flight to Arusha, arriving by early to mid-afternoon. This marks the end of your whirlwind Serengeti adventure, but the memories of vast horizons and unforgettable wildlife encounters will stay with you long after you’ve left.
