The Serengeti is one of the world’s most iconic parks, renowned for its spectacular biodiversity and annual ungulate migrations.

It covers approximately 15,000 square kilometres of savannah, grassland, woodlands and hills, providing shelter to a wide range of wildlife, including the big five: lions, leopards, elephants, black rhinos and buffalo.

The name Serengeti comes from the Maasai language and means ‘endless plain’.

The day in the Serengeti starts early to take advantage of the cooler hours, when the animals are most active. An early morning game drive offers the chance to spot predators such as lions and cheetahs hunting, while herds of herbivores graze peacefully.

Sunrise paints the sky with spectacular colours, creating a magical atmosphere.

During the day you can explore the vast plains, encountering elephants drinking from the rivers or giraffes grazing on the acacia trees.

Birdwatchers can spot species such as the crowned crane or the hornbill.

When the sun is at its peak, you stop at a picnic area for lunch and a bit of rest. Animals, such as lions, tend to rest in the shade during these hot hours.

In the afternoon, a second safari offers new opportunities for sightings, often near waterways. Here you can observe hippos and crocodiles, while elephants cool off.

Sunsets in the Serengeti are unforgettable, with the sun sinking below the horizon, coloring everything gold.

After returning, the evening is spent in the tented camp, with a dinner under the starry sky.

The Serengeti is a place where nature reigns supreme, offering a continuous show of wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.

As you drive along the tracks in your jeep, you look around and see all the peculiarities that our imagination defaults to the savannah: immense open spaces, phlegmatic felines resting, herds of herbivores scattered everywhere, gigantic and slow elephants, elegant giraffes and acacias, the characteristic umbrella-shaped thorny trees that characterize the savannah.

In Serengeti, there are numerous plants and sometimes they are truly unique. Different types of acacias, the sausage tree, the poisonous euphorbia candelabrum and the sycamore fig are just a few examples.

The park is also dotted with kopjes, large granite formations that have been shaped by the wind and rain over time. There are so many of them, the most famous of which are the Simba Kopjes (simba in Swahili means lion), so called because the lions love to lie on them and enjoy the cool breezes, and the Maasai Kopjes. Among the opportunities for a slightly more out of the ordinary visit is the hot air balloon safari, an hour of flight at dawn for a different and truly unique perspective of the park.

On the last day, you retrace the path you took to reach these places, this time with a new spirit and awareness, but the eyes with which you look at the panorama have changed. The parks are a jewel in the crown for the care with which they are managed, but also the villages and the people are fantastic.

The guide who accompanied you throughout the safari will take you to the airport for the return trip to Europe or for an internal flight to the islands.
