The 7-day Bwindi Gorillas & Serengeti Wildlife Safari brings you to Tanzania’s greatest wildlife national park, the Serengeti, which is located in Tanzania’s northern region. The Serengeti National Park is noted for its large yearly migration of wildebeests and zebras.

To find new grazing, the herds go north from their breeding areas into the green southern plains, crossing the Grummet River. This tour also includes a visit to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which is home to half of the world’s surviving mountain gorillas and provides guests with the finest gorilla experience possible, including maximum adventure for both habituated and semi-habituated families.

Day 1: Arrival and transfer to Serengeti.

On the first day of your safari, make sure you’re already in Tanzania so you may start early and connect to Serengeti National Park. Depending on your location in Arusha, you will be greeted by our corporate safari guide, who will assist you in loading your bags onto the safari vehicle and brief you on your safari. After that, travel to Serengeti National Park. It takes roughly 7-8 hours to drive, including lunch on the way.

Enter the park via an en-route game drive to spot some of the animals. Serengeti National Park is home to a diverse range of creatures, including large lion prides, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, giraffes, elephants, various antelopes, and other wildlife. Later in the evening, connect to your accommodation for check-in, enjoy supper, and spend the night at either.
