This is a seamless transition between two of Africa’s most magical landscapes.

Descend into the emerald depths of the world's largest intact volcanic caldera for a full day of spectacular wildlife viewing. This natural sanctuary offers one of the highest predator densities in Africa and a chance to spot the elusive Black Rhino.
Traverse the scenic highlands and enter the Serengeti via the Naabi Hill Gate, enjoying game viewing along the way. Keep a sharp eye out for cheetahs and lions as you transition into the vast, treeless plains that define this iconic park.
Dedicate a full day to the wonders of the Serengeti, heading out at dawn when the big cats are at their most active. Explore diverse habitats from riverine woodlands to open grasslands, observing the intricate balance of the African wild.
Enjoy one final morning game drive before transferring to the Seronera Airstrip. Board your scheduled flight to Zanzibar, taking in the spectacular views of the rift valley from above as your safari concludes.
The dry season from June to October offers peak wildlife viewing as animals congregate near water sources. January and February are also excellent for witnessing the calving season in the southern plains.
