$5,694 / person

9 Days of Unmatched Wildlife Adventure

Serengeti | Ngorongoro | Lake Natron | Luxury Mobile Camps | Expert Guides

This is the ultimate Serengeti experience - our flagship 9-day expedition that takes you deep into Tanzania's most spectacular wilderness areas. Designed for serious safari enthusiasts who demand both adventure and comfort, this journey combines intensive wildlife viewing with luxurious mobile camps that follow the action.

Your expedition begins in the remote northern Serengeti, where we'll track the Great Migration's dramatic river crossings (seasonal). Then journey to Lake Natron, Tanzania's surreal volcanic landscape where flamingos gather in their thousands. The grand finale comes in Ngorongoro Crater, a wildlife paradise where you'll enjoy exclusive access to restricted areas.

What sets this safari apart are our luxury mobile camps that move to prime wildlife locations, ensuring you're always at the heart of the action. With private vehicles, expert guides, and our signature "sundowner surprise" experiences, this is African safari at its most immersive and luxurious.
