5-Day Serengeti Fly-in Escape

What makes this journey special

• Scheduled return flights from Arusha
• Three nights at one Serengeti camp
• Two full Serengeti exploration days

Your journey, day by day

Arrival and the final travel day are included in the trip length. Driving times are planning guides; weather, roads and formalities can change the day.

1. Day 1

   Arrival in Tanzania

   Meet your Boker Adventures representative at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and transfer to your hotel. Rest after your flight; no safari or cultural visit is scheduled today. Your briefing covers the route, daily timings, meals, medical or mobility needs, wildlife etiquette and any booked extras. Late arrivals receive their briefing the following morning.

   Overnight

   Arusha

   Meals

   dinner

   Planning time: JRO to hotel: approximately 1-1.5 hours, depending on traffic and hotel location. Late dinner must be arranged in advance.

2. Day 2

   Fly to Central Serengeti

   After breakfast or an arranged packed breakfast, transfer to Arusha Airport (ARK) for your confirmed scheduled flight to Seronera. Meet your safari guide and travel to camp with wildlife viewing where timing permits. Have lunch as arranged, settle in, and enjoy a gentle afternoon drive if the flight schedule allows. Keep this arrival day flexible.

   Overnight

   Central Serengeti

   Meals

   breakfast, lunch and dinner

   Planning time: Hotel to ARK transfer, check-in and flight timing depend on the booking. Aircraft may stop at other airstrips. This is not a full game-drive day. The package includes a shared scheduled flight and privately arranged Serengeti game drives, not a charter aircraft.

3. Day 3

   A full day in Central Serengeti

   Explore the Seronera region with your guide, pausing to watch animal behaviour around plains, kopjes and river corridors. Choose a picnic outing or morning and afternoon drives with a camp break when distances allow. A pre-booked sunrise balloon safari can replace the early game drive. Return to the same camp for dinner.

   Overnight

   Central Serengeti

   Meals

   breakfast, lunch and dinner

   Planning time: No camp move. Game-drive distance depends on wildlife, weather and your preferences. Balloon collection is before dawn.

4. Day 4

   Another full Serengeti day

   Explore from the same camp for a second full day, choosing different habitats or returning to a promising area with your guide. Take a picnic or plan a camp break according to the distances involved. Allow time to observe behaviour and enjoy the setting rather than trying to cover every corner of the park.

   Overnight

   Central Serengeti

   Meals

   breakfast, lunch and dinner

   Planning time: No camp change. A balloon safari is recommended for Day 3; Day 4 may be an alternative only if the operator has availability. No migration or predator sighting is promised.

5. Day 5

   Fly from Serengeti to Arusha

   Transfer from camp to Seronera Airstrip for your confirmed scheduled flight to Arusha Airport (ARK). A morning game drive is not promised because check-in determines the departure from camp. On arrival, meet your driver for a transfer to an Arusha hotel, where this package ends. Lunch is provided as a packed meal or in Arusha according to the schedule.

   Overnight

   No overnight stay included

   Meals

   breakfast and lunch

   Planning time: Airstrip transfer depends on the camp. Flight routing may include stops. ARK is not JRO: a JRO transfer and any extra hotel night are separately quoted. Avoid a tight onward connection.
