Start the day with an early morning wake-up call and a cup of tea or coffee. Have some breakfast before you depart for a game drive or walk or opt to take a picnic with you to enjoy in the bush. By mid-morning, you’ll be back in camp with some time to relax and freshen up before lunch. It’s siesta time for most of the afternoon, when temperatures reach their peak. Take the opportunity to relax with a book or have a nap. Then it’s on to afternoon tea before you depart for a game drive with sundowners. Round off another perfect day in the bush with drinks by the campfire and dinner with good company. You may also want to venture into the park at night (at an additional cost). Search for nocturnal animals rarely seen as this is one of the few places in northern Tanzania where you can enjoy a safari by moonlight. At night, you may encounter an African wild cat, the elusive leopard, or feel the round eyes of a bushbaby peering down at you as the moon rises into the sky. With specialised lighting you will be able to look for lions and hyenas, as well as smaller creatures such as spotted genet, serval, bat-eared foxes, owls and nightjars. Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

After one final breakfast in Tarangire National Park, transfer to the airstrip for your light aircraft flight to the Seronera airstrip and a friendly transfer to camp where you check in for four nights. The award-winning Sayari camp is based in the north of  Serengeti National Park, with a prime location to witness thousands of wildebeest crash across the Mara River as part of their great migration. Overlooking the golden plains, 15 bright and spacious suites have walk-in showers, al fresco tubs and verandas on which you can laze away the afternoon with a book. Sayari’s rim-flow pool is set between natural rock formations for guests to cool off in while watching elephants or zebras ambling past camp. After a dip, treat yourself to a calming massage or a beer at the Serengeti’s first solar-powered microbrewery before an afternoon game drive and sundowners around the campfire.

We take advantage of the cooler conditions and head out on game drives in the early morning and late afternoon. This is when animals, especially predators, are more active.  Start the day bright and early with a wake-up call and tea or coffee delivered to your tent. Enjoy breakfast before you depart for a morning game drive (or have it packed as a picnic to take with you). You'll arrive back at camp mid-morning, with a chance to freshen up before lunch. After a leisurely lunch, enjoy siesta time. Take a dip in the pool, unwind with a massage or enjoy some retail therapy in our safari shop. Refuel with afternoon tea, then depart for an afternoon/evening game drive with sundowners. You'll be back in time for drinks at the bar and dinner under the stars.
