The journey is part of the adventure: the Rift Valley, the Ngorongoro highlands and the first glimpse of endless plains.

Two ways to arrive

By air or by road

Recommended

By air

Scheduled or private charter light aircraft fly from Arusha (ARK) or Kilimanjaro International (JRO) to Seronera airstrip in Central Serengeti. Our team meets you on arrival for the road transfer to camp, approximately 20–30 minutes away.

A safari on the way

By road

The drive from Arusha takes approximately 8–9 hours, through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and into the Serengeti. It is a long day, but it can be arranged as a guided road safari with game viewing along the way.
