3 Days Safari From Zanzibar island itinerary

Day 1: Zanzibar to Serengeti – Arrival and First Game Drive

our safari begins with an early morning transfer from your Zanzibar hotel to the airport, where you’ll board a small aircraft for a scenic flight to Serengeti National Park. Depending on the season and wildlife movements, your flight may land at Seronera Airstrip (central Serengeti) or Ndutu Airstrip (southern Serengeti).

Upon arrival, you’ll meet your private safari guide and immediately embark on an introductory game drive. This first drive is your chance to witness iconic African wildlife up close – lions basking under acacia trees, elephants crossing dusty plains, and giraffes feeding from high branches.

Lunch is served as a picnic in the bush, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. In the late afternoon, you’ll head to your safari lodge or tented camp for dinner and an evening under the stars.

Day 2: Full-Day Serengeti Exploration – Wildlife and Landscapes

Awake to the sounds of the African bush as the sun rises over the horizon. After an early breakfast, set out for a full day of game drives, focusing on regions where wildlife concentrations are highest.

Your guide, skilled at tracking, will lead you to areas where predators are active, herds are grazing, and migratory movements may be underway. Depending on the season, you might witness thousands of wildebeest and zebras on their dramatic journey across the Serengeti plains.

Lunch may be enjoyed at camp or as a bush picnic, allowing you to spend more time in the field. Optional activities such as a hot air balloon safari can be arranged, offering panoramic views and a champagne breakfast upon landing (extra cost).

Day 3: Sunrise Game Drive & Flight Back to Zanzibar

Your final day starts with an early morning game drive, one last opportunity to capture unforgettable moments – a pride of lions preparing to hunt, a leopard descending from a tree, or elephants making their way to a waterhole.

After breakfast at camp, your guide transfers you to the airstrip for your return flight to Zanzibar, arriving by early afternoon. Continue with your beach holiday or depart for your next destination.
