Five days based in northern Serengeti country, following the landscape and the season.
The route brings Serengeti National Park into one connected itinerary. Each overnight has a practical role in the journey, balancing time in the landscape with the transfers needed to move between places. Your travel dates, wildlife interests and preferred level of accommodation guide the final selection.
There is room to personalise the pace before booking: a longer stay in one area, a different room style, more time for photography or an island extension. Activities that need separate arrangements are added explicitly, so that the final plan remains clear about what is included.

Days shaped by nature
Your guide follows current conditions; river crossings are never guaranteed.

DAY 1Serengeti National ParkFly to the northern Serengeti
Fly to the northern Serengeti
Fly from Arusha to the northern Serengeti and meet your guide for the drive to camp, looking for wildlife along the way. This seasonal journey is planned around camp operations and the movement of the herds.
The Serengeti rewards patience as much as distance. Your guide can work with the light, habitat and wildlife activity, allowing time to watch a sighting rather than rush immediately to the next one. Seasonal herd movements remain variable, so the day is planned around what is happening locally. The day closes at Mara Kati Kati Tented Camp, with the meal basis shown in the programme.
DAY 2Serengeti National ParkAlong the Mara River
Along the Mara River
Explore the northern plains and the wider Mara River area with your guide. River crossings are natural events and cannot be guaranteed; the day is shaped by local conditions and wildlife movement.

Farewell to the north
Enjoy breakfast before transferring to the airstrip for your proposed flight to Arusha. Flight routing, camp location and operating dates will be confirmed in your quotation.
The final day is planned around a comfortable connection rather than one more rushed activity. Confirm the departure point and allow for the transfer specified in the itinerary. If you have an international flight, your specialist will check whether an additional night is the more practical option before the travel programme is finalised.

A little more about the guide price +
Indicative guide price in USD per person, based on two adults sharing. Your final quotation depends on travel dates, party size, accommodation availability, transport and confirmed inclusions. Single-room supplements, optional activities and international flights are additional unless expressly included. The itinerary and named stays are proposals, subject to availability.
How the route and daily timing work+
Your programme balances time exploring with the practical connections between overnight stops. Drive and walking times vary with the route, weather and conditions, so the final briefing confirms each day rather than relying on fixed timings shown months in advance.
Accommodation, room setup and meals+
Linked stays are shown in the day-by-day plan. Your proposal names the room categories, meal basis and any single-room or family arrangements. A substitute property is discussed if the original choice is unavailable.
Transport, luggage and flight connections+
Road transfers and any domestic flights are identified in the quotation. Check the actual baggage rules of each carrier before packing, particularly on small-aircraft connections. International flights are not assumed to be included.
