Safari Description
NORTHERN SERENGETI
Starts and ends: Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO)
Visiting: Northern Serengeti
An 10 Day / 9 night safari to Tanzania’s Northern Serengeti, combining a classic safari camp adventure flycamping and walking.
On foot you will feel the opening of your senses, sharpening in response to the immediacy of the wilderness: vision, sound, smell all respond to the challenge of perceiving and reading the primordial signals of the bush. Alex, in company of traditionally attired and armed Hadzabe guides, will teach you to see the landscape through their eyes, and immeasurably enhance the richness of the way you experience it. Drink in the active participation of engaging with your surrounds, and cultivate a fuller appreciation of the myriad intricacies that make up the magic of the bush. By night, take adventure back to its roots with fireside meals and bedrolls under the stars, and relish the stripped-back simplicity that is the beauty of flycamping.
Combining Serengeti North camp with nights out adventure fly camping yields all the magic of our spectacular location, and gives a glimpse into the wild heart of safari as well as the simple luxuries of all your creature comforts.

Day 1,2 – Serian Serengeti North, Northern Serengeti
Arrive into Kilimanjaro International Airport in time to connect mid-afternoon with your flight to northern Serengeti’s Kogatende airstrip. Here your guide and private 4×4 will be waiting for you and take you on your first game drive to camp, not far from the Mara River. Spend 2 nights here to find your feet and get a taste of the African wilderness.
This period sets the Mara River as the stage for millions of Wildebeest exploding across the water in their legendary migratory crossings. As camp is mere minutes from the action, its the perfect base for spectating this profoundly thrilling spectacle. The herds double as a sort of movable buffet that attracts fantastic predator action, all on a backdrop of an endless golden savannah – the quintessential Africa of our imagination and a classic spot to kick off your safari experience.

Days 8,9 – Serian Serengeti North, Northern Serengeti
Return to the relative lap of luxury of the main camp and kick back with a well earned Gin and Tonic. Round off your experience with a game drive or two, perhaps to see some cheetah or wild dog, or simply relax and let is all sink in.
Day 10 – Head for Home – Kilimanjaro
Take the slow cruise to the airstrip and see some last glimpses of wildlife as you wave goodbye from the plane, heading back to Kilimanjaro International Airport and home. Optionally – extend your safari to Tanzania’s Coast or Southern parks.
