Day by day
Zanzibar to the Serengeti
Fly from Zanzibar: A scheduled flight takes you from Zanzibar directly to a northern Tanzania airstrip, where your private guide meets you on arrival.
First Serengeti game drive: Transfer into the Serengeti with a private afternoon game drive along the way, before checking in to Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge.
Full-day Serengeti safari
Private game drive: A full morning exploring Central Serengeti at your own pace, following your guide's local knowledge of recent lion, leopard and cheetah sightings.
Continued wildlife exploration: An unhurried afternoon game drive through the plains and kopjes, with a picnic lunch and time to photograph the herds and predators.
The Serengeti in depth
Second full day of game drives: The Serengeti writes a different story every day, so a second full day allows your guide to follow wherever the wildlife activity leads.
Sundowner game drive: A relaxed late-afternoon drive back toward camp, timed to enjoy the golden light and a final search for predators before dinner.
Final game drive and fly back
Final Serengeti game drive: One last private game drive to make the most of your time in the Serengeti before transferring to the airstrip.
Fly back to Zanzibar or on to Arusha: Your scheduled flight returns you to Zanzibar for beach time, or connects on to Arusha for your onward journey. Safari ends.
