Overnight Stay at Gran Melia Arusha (Bed & Breakfast Included)

If you have never seen the Serengeti before, the primeval vastness of this place will blow you away! Kirawira, Nyasirori, Simiti…the names are hard to say and maybe difficult to remember, but over the next few days these locations in Tanzania’s Western Corridor will bring you wildlife adventures that will fill you with memories. Perhaps you will see not only a crossing, but a kill as well. Patience will bring its rewards – for crocodiles and for you, the visitor, poised with your camera!

If you didn’t see one yesterday, then today offers another possibility. But the Western Corridor has much more to offer. A favourite amongst our visitors is the collection of hippo pools: as they wallow throughout daylight hours in the mud, this really is wildlife-spotting at its easiest!

Overnight Stay at Nasikia Ehlane Plains Camp (Full Board Accommodation Included)
Today, we set off from our accommodation in central Serengeti. Wildlife is abundant: sometimes you may think it has come to find you, rather than the other way round. Today’s highlight is unknown as the animals don’t publish their schedule and what we see also depends on the season, but this area is where bushland meets grassland, a favorite spot for big cats looking for prey. Cheetah, leopard and lions are all possibilities today. Today you will have a chance to enjoy the varied landscapes of the central Serengeti. The Seronera River weaves its way through this area, providing waters for all species of wildlife. You may also see the distinctive rocky outcrops, the famous kopjes which characterized the Serengeti landscape. Lunch will be served at the picnic site with an unforgettable experience enjoyed in the middle of the bush.

The changing landscapes of Northern Serengeti and the wildlife surprises it will almost certainly provide. There are no guarantees, but a rhino sighting cannot be ruled out!

On a daily basis, crossings cannot be guaranteed, but our driver-guides know the most likely places to witness them
