Depart Kariba by Private Jet to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Upon arrival, take a short flight by chartered light aircraft to the world famous Serengeti National Park. The open plains spread out as far as the eye can see, so it’s no surprise that the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai language meaning “endless plains”.

Experience the ultimate in luxury camping, not only with the magnificent wildlife, but also the unique opportunity for photography. Not only by day, but with limited light interference you can explore the vast night sky and its stunning constellations.

Serengeti is also a world heritage site and recently proclaimed a 7th worldwide wonder; the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe and thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle. The spectacular of predator versus prey dominates Tanzania’s greatest park. Golden-maned lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers.

During your early morning hot air balloon safari, you’ll find yourself gently floating over the plains and above the forest and river, checking out hippos, crocodiles and elephants from high above before landing for a sumptuous champagne breakfast. Game viewing in the Serengeti is quite different from South Africa.

Board the local charter flight back to Kilimanjaro where we will connect with the Lakani Private Jet and fly to Windhoek, capital of Namibia.
