4 Day Fly In Safari in North and Central Serengeti from Zanzibar

Fly from Zanzibar to the Northern Serengeti—home to dramatic river crossings during migration season (July–October). After landing (flight duration ~2.5 hours, depending on airline), enjoy a game drive in the rugged, wildlife-rich north. Marvel at towering kopjes, wooded valleys, and potential predator action. Overnight at a camp in the northern sector.

Spend the morning exploring the Mara River area, where crocodiles and hippos lurk and herds often cross during the migration months. Later in the afternoon, begin your scenic game-drive transfer (approx. 2–3 hours) toward the Central Serengeti for overnight. En route, spot cheetahs, elephants, and giraffes as the terrain shifts from riverine woodland to open plains.

Explore the heart of the Serengeti today. Central Serengeti’s Seronera Valley is known for year-round predator sightings and classic savannah landscapes. Enjoy full-day game drives with a picnic lunch under an acacia tree. Wildlife highlights may include leopards, hyenas, and massive elephant herds. Return to your camp for dinner and overnight.

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast and a short morning game drive if time allows before your scheduled flight back to Zanzibar. Flights from Central Serengeti to Zanzibar typically depart in the early afternoon and take about 2 hours. Exact departure times depend on the airline. Arrive in Zanzibar by late afternoon or early evening.
