Overview
Fly into the Serengeti, stay in top tented camps and follow the herds with your own guide and vehicle.
A slower, more exclusive way to see the Serengeti. Light aircraft flights replace the longest drives, and your camps are chosen for location as much as comfort — close to where the herds are in the month you travel.
You have a private guide and vehicle throughout, with time for a sunrise balloon flight (optional), long lunches in camp and a private dinner under the stars. The trip ends with a full day in the Ngorongoro Crater before flying back to Arusha.
Highlights
- Scheduled light-aircraft flights into the Serengeti
- Top tented camps placed for the season
- Private guide, vehicle and flexible timing
- Optional sunrise balloon flight
- Private bush dinner
