Your safari awaits

3-Day Fly-In Safari: Central & Northern Serengeti

A short safari with nothing held back. A scenic light-aircraft flight takes you from Arusha to the Seronera airstrip, and within minutes you are on your first game drive in the Central Serengeti — the best year-round big-cat country in Africa.

On day two you head north towards the Mara River, where from July to October the Great Migration attempts its dramatic crossings. Spend your nights in luxury tented camps, then fly back to Arusha with memories that will last a lifetime.
