Two-Day Serengeti Safari in Tanzania, departing from Arusha or Mwanza

Serengeti Safari i Tanzania – The 2-Day Serengeti Safari, starting from either Arusha or Mwanza, is ideal for tourists in Tanzania for a short stay. It’s also suitable for both local and international travelers who don’t have the time for a longer safari. This package includes two game drives in one of the world’s greatest wildlife conservation areas: one in the afternoon of the first day and another in the morning of the second day. One of the game drives will take you to the Grumeti River, home to one of the largest collections of Nile crocodiles. If you visit between May and July, you’ll witness the great wildebeest migration.

Serengeti National Park, one of Africa’s largest wildlife conservation areas, is located in north-central Tanzania near the Kenyan border, covering 14,763 square kilometers. Adjacent to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Serengeti is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich biodiversity and incredible wildlife. The park features flat plains, grasslands, and scattered kopjes, and is home to wildebeest, lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, jackals, hyenas, buffaloes, elephants, black rhinos, and more. The park’s greatest attraction is the seasonal animal migration, where over 1.3 million wildebeest, 150,000 gazelles, and 60,000 zebras follow the rains and green pastures before moving on to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. For a longer exploration of the Serengeti plains and the Ngorongoro Crater, check out our 3-Day Serengeti Wildlife Safari Package.

Trip Details

Day 1: Pickup from Arusha and Transfer to Serengeti

Start your 2-Day Serengeti Safari in Tanzania with an early morning pickup from your hotel or residence in Arusha. After breakfast, our company guide will brief you on the journey ahead. Once the briefing is complete, you’ll embark on a scenic 4-hour drive through the stunning Tanzanian countryside, passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This journey offers a glimpse into the region’s diverse landscapes and wildlife.

Upon arriving at Serengeti National Park in the afternoon, you’ll check into your hotel and enjoy a hearty lunch. Afterward, prepare for an exhilarating late afternoon game drive. The driver will navigate through various savannah trails, offering opportunities to see an array of wildlife including zebras, wildebeest, topis, crocodiles, impalas, gazelles, a plethora of bird species, and hippos lounging in the water. As the sun begins to set, you’ll return to your lodge, soaking in the breathtaking African sunset along the way.

Dinner and overnight accommodations will be provided at one of the following:

  • Luxury: Kirawira Serena Camp
  • Mid-range: Shuhudia Adventure Camp
  • Budget: Mbalageti Serengeti Tented Camp

 

Day 2: Morning Game Drive and Return to Arusha

On the second day, wake up early for breakfast before heading out for a final morning game drive. This early morning excursion is an excellent opportunity to spot lions along the park roads, as they tend to avoid the morning dew in the long grass. The cooler morning hours are also ideal for birdwatching and observing herbivores starting their day. Additionally, you might encounter nocturnal animals making their way back to their dens after a night of hunting.

After a 4-hour game drive, you’ll return to the hotel for lunch and to check out. Your driver will then begin the journey back to Arusha, arriving late in the afternoon. The safari concludes with a drop-off at your hotel or residence.

This 2-Day Serengeti Safari is designed for tourists with limited time in Tanzania, offering a comprehensive experience of one of the world’s greatest wildlife conservation areas. It’s perfect for both local and international travelers looking for a quick yet immersive safari adventure. For those interested in a more extended exploration, consider our 3-Day Serengeti Wildlife Safari Package, which includes additional excursions into the Serengeti plains and the Ngorongoro Crater.
