A 4-Day safari tour plan that pivots from the Central Serengeti’s year-round action to Ndutu’s seasonal drama when the herds drop calves. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while staying at Serengeti River Camp, a luxury tented camp that offers polished comfort and prime access to the game-rich areas of the Serengeti. Here, you can enjoy hearty meals, including buffet breakfasts and plated dinners featuring both international and Swahili cuisine.

Your adventure begins with a short flight from Zanzibar to the Serengeti, landing at the nearby Seronera Airstrip. From there, it’s just a brief drive to your camp, where large canvas tents await, complete with king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas for relaxation. The camp’s location near the Seronera River ensures that you are always close to the action, with opportunities to spot lions, leopards, and elephants throughout your stay.

On your second day, you will head to Ndutu Kati Kati Tented Camp, a mid-range seasonal camp that comes alive during the calving season. This camp provides a unique chance to witness the dramatic predator-prey interactions as lion hunts and cheetah chases unfold right outside your tent. Enjoy picnic breakfasts and communal dinners that highlight the local flavors, all while surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the southern Serengeti.

With two nights spent in these remarkable locations, you’ll have ample time to immerse yourself in the breathtaking wildlife and scenery. This itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors eager to experience the magic of a Tanzania safari, combining the best of both worlds: the luxury of the Serengeti River Camp and the authentic charm of Ndutu.

Whether you’re drawn by the allure of the Serengeti or the excitement of the calving season, this tour promises unforgettable memories and breathtaking sights.
