Your journey begins with an early morning pick-up from Arusha by your professional Neste
Uganda Safaris guide. Travel westward in a private 4x4 Land Cruiser, passing through Lake
Manyara and Karatu, with an optional cultural stop in Mto wa Mbu for snacks or handicrafts.
The drive takes you through the beautiful Ngorongoro Highlands, with a brief stop at
Ngorongoro Crater Viewpoint—a perfect photo opportunity overlooking the vast caldera.
Descend into the Serengeti Plains by mid-afternoon, where wildlife immediately begins to
appear: zebras, wildebeests, and giraffes wandering freely across the open savannah. Enjoy your
first game drive en route to your lodge or tented camp, arriving in time for dinner and relaxation.
As the sun sets behind the acacia trees, settle in for your first night in the wild heart of Africa.

Wake up early for a hearty breakfast before setting off on a full-day game drive in the Seronera
Valley, the heart of the Central Serengeti and a year-round wildlife hotspot. This area offers
incredible predator sightings—expect to see lion prides, leopards in trees, and possibly cheetahs
hunting in the open plains. Large herds of buffalo, topi, warthogs, and elephants are also
common here. Enjoy a bush picnic lunch near a riverbank or hippo pool, surrounded by the
sights and sounds of the savannah. In the afternoon, continue your game drive in search of
unique species like bat-eared foxes, servals, and an astonishing array of birdlife, including
vultures, eagles, and lilac-breasted rollers. Return to camp by late afternoon for relaxation,
followed by a delicious dinner and optional storytelling around the fire under the stars.

Rise before dawn for a sunrise game drive, one of the best times to see predators returning from
a night hunt or hyenas on the move. The golden morning light makes for breathtaking
photography. You may revisit areas of interest or explore new tracks your guide recommends.
Return to camp for breakfast, then check out and begin your journey back to Arusha. En route,
enjoy another scenic drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with optional stops at
Olduvai Gorge (the cradle of mankind) or a Maasai boma to learn about traditional culture.
Arrive in Arusha in the late afternoon or evening, where your guide will drop you at your hotel
or the airport for onward travel. Neste Uganda Safaris Ltd will ensure a smooth and memorable
end to your Serengeti journey.
