Day 1 – Arrival in Arusha | Coffee Plantation Sanctuary

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.

Day 2-4 – Fly to Northern Serengeti | Remote Wilderness Escape

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.

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.
