Overview

About this safari

Skip the long drives and fly directly into the heart of the Serengeti. Stay at Tanzania's most exclusive lodges, enjoy private game drives, fine dining, and world-class service. This is safari at its most luxurious.

For discerning travelers who want the ultimate safari experience, our luxury fly-in safari eliminates road transfers in favor of scenic bush flights. You'll land on remote airstrips, stepping out of the plane directly into the wild.

Accommodation is at Singita Grumeti, consistently rated among Africa's top safari lodges. Your private suite overlooks the river where hippos bathe and elephants drink. Game drives are in custom-designed Land Rovers with your personal guide. Meals are works of art, paired with fine wines from an exceptional cellar.

This isn't just a safari - it's a five-star experience in the middle of the wilderness. Butler service, spa treatments, and gourmet dining coexist with lion sightings and midnight hyena calls. You'll understand why the world's most seasoned travelers keep returning to the Serengeti.

  1. Day01

    Arrival in Arusha

    Welcome to Tanzania. VIP transfer to Arusha Coffee Lodge, a colonial-era plantation converted into a boutique hotel. Relax in the gardens, enjoy afternoon tea, and prepare for tomorrow's flight into the wild.

    Stay: Lodge

  2. Day02

    Fly to Singita Grumeti

    Morning flight over the Great Rift Valley and into the western Serengeti. Your plane lands on a private airstrip in the Grumeti Reserve. A Singita vehicle meets you, and game drives begin immediately. Settle into your villa overlooking the river.

    Stay: Lodge

  3. Day03

    Grumeti - Private Reserve

    Full day exploring the private 350,000-acre Grumeti Reserve. With only Singita guests allowed, you'll never see another vehicle. Your guide tailors the day to your interests - big cats, birds, or photography. Lunch can be anywhere - under a tree, by the river, in a secluded valley.

    Stay: Lodge

  4. Day04

    Migration & Conservation

    Morning game drive following the migration (seasonal) or exploring the Grumeti River where huge crocodiles lurk. Afternoon visit to Singita's renowned conservation program - learn about anti-poaching efforts and community initiatives. Wine tasting in the cellar before dinner.

    Stay: Lodge

  5. Day05

    Walking Safari & Night Drive

    Experience the Serengeti on foot with an armed guide. Walking reveals details invisible from a vehicle - tracks, insects, the texture of baobab bark. After dark, a night drive reveals a different world: hyenas on the hunt, aardvarks, and owls.

    Stay: Lodge

  6. Day06

    Final Game Drive & Departure

    Last sunrise game drive, perhaps catching a lion pride returning from a night hunt. Return to the lodge for brunch, then board your flight back to Arusha connecting to your international departure. Travel exhausted but deeply satisfied.

Questions about this safari

Why choose a fly-in safari?

Fly-in safaris eliminate long drives (6-8 hours), replacing them with 1-hour scenic flights directly into the bush. You maximize game viewing time and minimize travel fatigue.

What makes Singita one of the world's best lodges?

Singita consistently ranks among Africa's top lodges for its exceptional service, world-class cuisine, stunning design, and exclusive 350,000-acre private concession where only Singita guests can access.

What is included at a luxury level?

Everything: all meals and premium drinks, private guide and vehicle, laundry, spa treatment, night drives, walking safaris, conservation activities, wifi, and all park fees. The only extras are premium champagnes.

Can I see the migration from Singita?

Yes! Singita Grumeti is positioned on the migration route. The western corridor crossings (May-July) happen right on the property, and the private concession offers exclusive access to this spectacular event.

What's the difference between luxury and ultra-luxury?

Ultra-luxury means complete exclusivity: your own private villa, butler service, custom menus, flexible schedules, and virtually no other guests. Singita offers this level with all amenities included.
