9-Day Luxury Tanzania: Serengeti Safari & Zanzibar Beach

Wake up early and get ready for a beautiful drive to your lodge in the central part of Serengeti National Park. It usually takes about 6.5 hours to get to the Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti. Serengeti is next to Kenya's Masai Mara and is one of the top places for safaris in East Africa. It has different kinds of environments where lots of animals live, including the famous Big Five.

When you arrive, you can choose to go on a safari for half of the day to see as many animals as possible before going to your lodge. Or you can go straight to the lodge and enjoy the amazing views of the Serengeti Plains from its high-up platforms and walkways.
