6-Day West & Central Serengeti Safari from Zanzibar

Fly from Zanzibar to Central Serengeti in the morning (~1.5 hrs; exact time depends on airline). Begin game drives through the Seronera Valley immediately after arrival, where lions, elephants, and buffaloes are commonly seen. Overnight in the central region amid acacia-dotted plains.

After breakfast, drive (~3–4 hrs) to Western Serengeti. Along the way, enjoy scenic game drives as the terrain gradually changes to riverine forest and dense thickets. Arrive near the Grumeti River, famous for large crocodiles and seasonal wildebeest crossings.

Full-day game drive in the Grumeti area. Explore riverbanks, open plains, and woodland patches in search of lions, topi, giraffes, and hippos. During May–July, witness potential river crossings by migrating herds. Lunch is usually picnic-style in a scenic spot.

Another full day to explore Western Serengeti’s rich ecosystems. Birdwatchers will enjoy the Grumeti wetlands, while predator enthusiasts can track lions and hyenas near the grasslands. Game drives are tailored to the best sightings and guest interests.

Return to Central Serengeti with a slow-paced game drive. Pass through changing terrains and stop at key wildlife hotspots along the way. Reach Seronera by late afternoon, giving you time for a relaxed evening at camp.

Morning game drive in the Central Serengeti, followed by transfer to the airstrip for your flight back to Zanzibar (~1.5 hrs). Your safari concludes with scenic views over the vast Serengeti plains from above.
