路线
日复一日
-
Kilimanjaro International Airport → Arusha
Road • 00:45h
The foothills roll past; on a clear day, Kilimanjaro's summit appears above the clouds.
ARRIVAL
You are met at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred directly to your lodge in Arusha. The drive passes through the foothills of the mountain on a clear day the summit is visible. Check in, settle, breathe. The trip begins properly tomorrow.
晚安欢迎信
Over dinner, your safari consultant walks you through the eight days ahead destinations, what to expect, how to prepare. It is an easy conversation, not a lecture. By the end of it, the Serengeti already feels close.
Where you'll stay
-
Arusha → Arusha Airport
公路时间:20点
A short ride through the morning light, the highlands rising in the distance.
-
Arusha Airport → Seronera Airstrip
Flight • 00:45h
The landscape unfolds below , acacia plains, kopjes, the first hint of the Serengeti.
-
Seronera Airstrip → Central Serengeti
Road • 01:00h
Your first game drive begins the moment wheels touch the red dirt , no delay, no prelude.
MORNING
An early airstrip departure and a 45 minute flight over the Tanzania highlands delivers you into the Serengeti. The scale of the landscape hits you immediately. Your guide meets the plane and the first game drive begins on the way to the lodge no wasted time. The Seronera region, where you spend the next two nights, is a year round concentration point for big cats. Elephants, giraffe, and buffalo are part of the scenery within the first hour.
AFTERNOON
After lunch at the lodge, the afternoon drive explores deeper into the Central Serengeti. The golden late afternoon light makes every sighting feel cinematic. Lions are common here. Leopards are often found in the riverside fig trees. If you have not seen a cheetah by sundown, you likely will tomorrow.
EVENING
晚餐在露天下,营地周围的声音是真实的,接近。
Where you'll stay
MORNING
This is a full day out picnic lunch packed, no return to the lodge at midday. The Seronera River Valley is the focus: a wildlife corridor where predator sightings are as reliable as anywhere in Africa. Your guide reads the landscape with genuine expertise, finding what most people miss. Lions are often encountered in groups here full prides, not lone individuals.
AFTERNOON
The afternoon shifts to open grassland cheetah territory and the scattered granite kopjes where rock hyrax and agama lizards share the sun. Picnic lunch is taken in the field, the plains spreading out in every direction. It is a simple thing, but it stays with you.
EVENING
Optional: Hot Air Balloon Safari A pre dawn ascent over the plains, drifting silently above the migration, followed by champagne breakfast in the bush. USD 490 per person.
晚餐,一杯葡萄酒,塞伦吉的声音. 明天:火坑。
Where you'll stay
-
Central Serengeti → Ngorongoro Crater Rim
Road • 02:30h
The air cools as you climb through the highlands; the crater's edge appears without warning.
-
Ngorongoro Crater → Arusha
Road • 03:00h
Leaving the caldera behind, the road descends through the Great Rift Valley toward the lights of Arusha.
MORNING
An early start and a two to three hour drive through the Ngorongoro highlands. The temperature drops as you climb the air is cooler, the vegetation denser, and the landscape entirely different from the Serengeti. At the rim, the crater opens up below you: a 260 square kilometre caldera containing one of the most extraordinary concentrations of wildlife on the continent.
全天在山洞地板上
The descent into the crater is an experience in itself. On the floor you encounter resident elephant herds, enormous buffalo gatherings, and the flamingo lined shores of Lake Magadi, the crater's shallow soda lake. The Ngorongoro is one of the few places in Africa where black rhino sightings are a genuine probability. Lions here are numerous and have never known life beyond the crater walls. Picnic lunch is taken on the floor, surrounded by the landscape.
EVENING
Drive to Arusha for your final night on the mainland. A relaxed dinner and an early rest the flight to Zanzibar leaves in the morning.

Where you'll stay
岛上的两天
Three Zanzibar days are yours to shape. The activities below can each be arranged locally with the support of our team pick the ones that appeal, do them in any order, or simply spend a day on the beach.
蓝色Safari
A full day traditional dhow journey from Fumba Beach into the protected waters around Kwale Island. Snorkelling, swimming in a natural mangrove lagoon, a sandbank stop, and a fresh seafood lunch on the water. Departs 08:00, returns around 16:00. One of the best days Zanzibar offers.
监狱岛和Nakupenda沙滩
Boat from Stone Town to Prison Island a guided history of the island, then time with the resident colony of giant Aldabra tortoises. Continue to Nakupenda Sandbank for swimming, snorkelling, tropical fruit, and a seafood lunch on a strip of white sand that appears at low tide and disappears by evening.
海豚之旅 在 Kizimkazi
早上乘船前往南海岸的Kizimkazi,居住在瓶颈海豚和鱼海豚的居民学校。找到它们的机会很高。你可以留在船上或在他们旁边游泳,相遇完全取决于海豚的条款,这使得一切变得更加难忘。
石城散步之旅
A guided walk through Stone Town's narrow streets and layered history Freddie Mercury's birthplace, the House of Wonders, the former Slave Market, and the Darajani Market. It is one of those walks where you stop frequently, not because you are tired, but because there is always something worth looking at.
Where you'll stay
-
Nungwi → Zanzibar International Airport
Road • 01:00h
A last look at the ocean, the island's fragrance lingering , then the flight home.
MORNING
Breakfast at the hotel, transfer to the airport both included. The flight home departs with eight days of East Africa already becoming memory. The Serengeti, the Crater, the island. It is a combination that is hard to match anywhere in the world, and harder still to forget.
