Recommended dates
If availability permits, this tour can start on any day.
Day 1 – Arrival in Arusha | Coffee Plantation Sanctuary
- Arusha, Tanzania
Your journey begins the moment you land at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you are met airside by an Africa Pathways representative for a smooth, assisted arrival.
After expedited formalities, you are privately transferred in comfort to a secluded lodge set within a historic coffee plantation on the foothills of Mount Meru. The air is cooler here, scented with earth and blossoms — the perfect place to exhale after travel.
Spend the afternoon at leisure: stroll through tropical gardens, enjoy a quiet drink on your veranda, or simply rest as the sounds of nature replace the noise of the world.
Accommodation options
- Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 2-4 – Fly to Northern Serengeti | Remote Wilderness Escape
- Northern Serengeti, Tanzania
Day 2 – Into the Wild | Fly to the Northern Serengeti
After breakfast, you are transferred to the airstrip for a scenic flight over northern Tanzania, watching farmland fade into vast wilderness below.
You land deep in the Northern Serengeti, one of Africa’s most remote and wildlife-rich regions. Here, your elegant explorer-style tented camp sits lightly on the land, offering front-row access to migration corridors and untamed landscapes.
As the sun lowers, wildlife moves freely around camp — no fences, no crowds, only Africa in its rawest form.
Day 3 – Following the Herds | Mara River Country
Rise early as the Serengeti awakens. With your private guide and dedicated vehicle, you venture across open plains and riverine forests, tracking the movement of the great herds.
Between July and September, anticipation hangs thick in the air. Wildebeests gather at the Mara River, testing the current, sensing danger. You wait — not rushed — allowing nature to decide when the moment comes.
Whether a crossing unfolds or not, the experience is electric, raw, and deeply moving.
Day 4 – A Day Written by Nature
Today is unstructured by design. You may follow the herds again, explore quieter corners of the Serengeti, or linger longer at a sighting that captures your attention.
Pause for lunch beside the river. As evening falls, enjoy a private sundowner overlooking endless golden plains — the sky turning amber, then violet, as silhouettes of wildlife drift past.
Later, gather around the campfire under a canopy of stars.

Day 5-7 – Western Serengeti | Into the Lion Kingdom
- Western Serengeti
Day 5 – Western
Journey west into the remote Western Corridor of the Serengeti, a region known for its year-round wildlife and some of Tanzania’s largest lion prides.
Settle into an elegant tented camp overlooking endless plains and dramatic sunsets, where comfort and wilderness exist in perfect harmony.
Day 6 – Serengeti at Your Pace
There is no schedule today — only possibility.
Head out on extended game drives, return to camp for a long lunch and rest, or choose an optional hot-air balloon safari, floating silently over the plains as the sun rises and wildlife moves below.
Day 7 – Slow Safari & Sunset Rituals
Your final day in the Serengeti invites reflection. Perhaps another drive through the plains, or quiet time at camp watching giraffes pass in the distance.
As evening arrives, a final sundowner is set in a secluded spot — a quiet farewell to the Serengeti as the light fades and the land cools.

Day 8 – Chem Chem Concession | Walking & Night Safaris
- Chem Chem
Fly south to a private wildlife concession near Tarangire, where ancient baobabs dominate the landscape. This area allows for walking safaris and night game drives, offering a rare and intimate safari experience unavailable inside national parks.
As lanterns glow at dinner, the sounds of the African night surround you.
Accommodation options
- Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 9 – Culture, Big Tuskers & Conservation
- Chem Chem
Begin the day searching for legendary big tusker elephants, symbols of a wilder Africa that still survives here.
Later, visit a local Maasai community, gaining insight into traditions shaped by generations of coexistence with wildlife. The day flows gently — unhurried, meaningful, and grounding.
