6 days

See fantastic wildlife by day and sleep beneath impossibly bright stars next to a crackling campfire by night – the Serengeti is a grassy wonderland filled with a Lion’s King movie amount of animals to see, and you’ll have a front row seat to it all! Over six, action-packed days, see baboon troops traipse through the golden Rift Valley Escarpment, watch lions snoozing in the treetops, and see thousands of shocking-pink flamingos take to the skies en masse at Lake Nakuru. This tour’s brimming with opportunities to see wildlife at its most raw so jump into that 4×4 and come along for the sensational ride!

  • Day 1 Arusha / Lake Manyara National Park

    Meet in the lobby of the Arusha Hotel and over lunch your tour guide will brief you on your upcoming adventure. As fast as you can say ‘go’, you’re off to Lake Manyara National Park. Stretching along the base of the rusty gold 600-metre high Rift Valley Escarpment, it was once quoted by Ernest Hemmingway as the ‘loveliest I had seen in Africa’. And lovely it is – see 100-strong baboon troops, blue monkeys, bushbuck and even a hornbill, and that’s just passing through the park gates! You’ll spend your first night dining and sleeping underneath the stars at Twiga campsite.
