My mom and I never imagined we would have the opportunity to see a cheetah run at top speeds anywhere other than on a National Geographic video. It was amazing to watch. The next morning we were eating breakfast while watching a leopard and her two cubs play at the bottom of a tree. Suddenly a hyena appeared and the leopard grabbed one of the cubs in her mouth and ran with it up the tree. The other cub followed. This interaction too was something we never expected to see. And we would not have been lucky enough to see it without Alphonce's patience and knowledge of animal behavior.

Alphonce also avoided crowds, a practice for which my mom and I were grateful. We didn't spend much time around other safari vehicles and none of our pictures have other vehicles lurking in the corners. If another guide spotted a unique animal, we went to see it. Otherwise, we stuck to the out-of-the-way places that Alphonce seemed to know well. We still saw lots of animals in these places; we just got to do it in a quieter, more natural setting.

The lodges and tented camps my mom and I stayed at were all exceptional. The staff were very nice and welcoming. They always seemed willing to do anything and everything to make our trip more enjoyable.

Trip Overview

Our Journey to the Serengeti Safari is focused on getting you ready to appreciate the magnificence of the Serengeti migration. You make your way from Arusha through three of Tanzania's best game parks: Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and the famous Serengeti. There is a significant educational component to this safari, as you move from park to park increasing your knowledge base. When you arrive in the Serengeti you have a deep appreciation of what will unfold in front of you: the last mass mammal migration on earth. Upscale accommodations throughout allow you to explore during the daytime, yet still enjoy creature comforts at night.

This safari is heavily focused on wildlife viewing, but there is enough activity and cultural visits to give you some diversity. Walking safaris are available in Tarangire National Park and in the Serengeti ecosystem. Add a canoe safari in Arusha National Park if you are up for even more!

You'll spend a day visiting Minjingu Village with the Mwangaza Children's Project to see a school, meet families in their homes, enjoy a traditional meal prepared by the village women's group, and learn about Mwangaza's health care outreach programs. The reception you receive is unforgettable. Guests who have done the village visit always remember it as a highlight of their safari. Many characterize it as an experience that has changed their understanding of the world.

The safari concludes with bush plane transport back to Arusha, providing a spectacular bird's-eye view of the landscape you have explored.
