Day 2
Serengeti National Park
After breakfast you will be transferred by car to Arusha Airport for your scheduled flight to the Ndutu Airstrip. On arrival, you will be met by a representative from DolceTanzania who will take you on a game drive to the Serengeti National Park.
Your Camp Manager and Ranger will help you plan your few days in the Serengeti. Relish twice-daily game drives, with sunrise and sundowner stops.
At Serengeti National Park experience nature in a real and authentic manner. Roam its sprawling plains on exhilarating game drives or hop into a hot-air balloon ride* for an once-in-a-lifetime wilderness adventure.
Enjoy your first game drives through the southern Serengeti and check in to your luxury safari camp by late afternoon.
The park offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa and is home to the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth, the Great Migration.
The Serengeti National Park, meaning “endless plains” in the Maasai language, is undoubtedly one of the world’s most celebrated Wilderness areas and is an ongoing source of inspiration to writers, filmmakers and photographers.
Every year, over two million wildebeest and zebra migrate north from Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya. The herds must brave the perilous Mara River, which runs through the Masai Mara Game Reserve on the Kenyan side and Serengeti National Park on the Tanzanian side. They face treacherous water currents and dangerous predators as they cross the river in search of greener pastures. With crocodiles lurking in the muddy waters and lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas patrolling the river banks, this is a particularly dangerous time to be a wildebeest or a zebra.
You can also enjoy bush walks in the Serengeti led by local Maasai warriors, providing an authentic walking safari experience.

Day 6-7
Go on a game drive to look for the herds, and the predatory cats that often follow them.
Experience the breath-taking beauty of the Serengeti National Park on a once-in-a-lifetime hot air balloon flight. At dawn, rise as the sun greets the day and float in whichever direction the winds of the morning take you.
Enjoy dinner under the stars and stories around the camp fire.
Freshen up with a swim in the pool overlooking the seasonal hippo pods, before heading out on a game drive. With few other vehicles, it will feel like your private Serengeti.
This is ‘Mufasa’ country: discover the art of tracking as you follow the massive paw prints of lions to find them slumbering under shady trees, on the prowl, or playfully interacting with one another.
