If you are short on time, this is a great option to see the amazing Serengeti. Fly to the Serengeti and enjoy 3 days in the Serengeti area. At the Serengeti Simba Lodge, enjoy a full-day game drive and 1 night game drive (June-December weather permitting) in the Ikoma area. Enjoy game drives in the south central Serengeti area (Ndutu) from December to March to see the wildebeest migration, while from June through October the camp will be situated in the center of the Serengeti where the game viewing is better during that time.

All our safaris are offered as a private trip, starting on any day.
