Board your morning flight from Zanzibar, descending into the heart of the Serengeti at Seronera Airstrip. Your private guide will meet you for an immediate foray into the plains, followed by a wild picnic lunch and an afternoon seeking out the resident big cats.
Journey south towards the Ndutu region, where the short-grass plains provide the perfect stage for the Great Migration. Spend the day tracking the massive herds as they congregate for the annual calving event.
Enjoy a comprehensive day of exploration in the Ndutu ecosystem, including early morning drives when predators are most active. This area offers unparalleled opportunities to witness cheetahs and lions on the hunt amidst the vulnerable herds.
