New Year in the Serengeti

Safari Overview

As the sun sets on another year, we invite you to an extraordinary safari, one that promises to be as timeless as the Serengeti itself. Join us for "New Year in the Serengeti," a five-day adventure that will take you through the heart of Tanzania's most iconic landscapes.
Our journey begins with the warm embrace of Tarangire National Park, where the ancient baobab trees stand over a land teeming with wildlife. Here, elephants parade across the savannah, and the Tarangire River whispers the secrets of the wild. You will also have an opportunity to descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, often hailed as the Eighth Wonder of the World. This vast caldera, formed from a collapsed volcano, is a microcosm of East African ecosystems. Here, every turn of the head reveals a new wonder: black rhinos grazing in the mist, prides of lions lounging in the sun, and the calls of countless birds echoing in the air. Our expedition goes further to the boundless plains of the Serengeti, a realm where the cycle of life unfolds in grand, unending drama.
As the New Year dawns, we offer the perfect moment to your adventure: an optional post-trip extension to the pristine beaches of Zanzibar. Here, the sky-blue waters and soft white sands provide a clear contrast to the wild beauty of the mainland, allowing you to reflect on your journey in tranquility.
Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime safari, where each moment is a brushstroke in the grand masterpiece of nature. Let the Serengeti be your stage, and let this New Year be the beginning of a story you will cherish forever.
