The journey to the Serengeti begins in the morning (around 7:30 AM) with a pickup from Arusha. The drive is lengthy, typically taking 6 to 8 hours as you traverse the beautiful landscapes of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and often include an en-route game drive as you enter the vast Serengeti plains. By late afternoon, you'll arrive at your Central Serengeti accommodation in the Seronera area, immediately followed by an exciting late afternoon game drive. The day concludes with dinner and an overnight stay in the Central Serengeti, usually at a public campsite for budget options.
