Depart Botswana by Private Jet to Mwanza, Tanzania. Upon arrival, take a short flight by chartered light aircraft to the world famous Serengeti National Park.

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.

An early morning visit to Tswalu’s habituated meerkats to see them in their natural habitat is an unforgettable encounter. You’ll have an opportunity to get within a few feet of one family group to watch them pop in and out of their burrows, stand tall, groom and play with each other, soak up the sunshine, and forage in the sand for tasty morsels.
