​​​​​​​

More info: â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹Big Cat Tracking (Without the Crowds):

Serengeti has one of the highest concentrations of predators in Africa. Instead of following herds, spend time tracking:

  • Lions lounging under acacia trees

  • Leopards draped over branches

  • Cheetahs sprinting across open plains

​

The Seronera region is especially rich for this - think slow, intentional game drives focused on behavior, not just sightings.

​

​​​​​​​

Sunrise & Sunset Game Drives: These are magical and often quieter than peak migration hours. You’ll witness:

  • Golden light over endless plains

  • Nocturnal animals returning from hunts

  • Early-morning predator action

​​​​​​

It feels more cinematic, less crowded.

​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Oct 8 (Thurs): Bye Serengeti. Hello NgoroNgoro!

Tips for Booking This Trip

​​​

Book as a "Multi-City" Ticket not as three separate one-way tickets.

​​

The East Africa Tourist Visa: Instead of getting separate visas, apply for the East Africa Tourist Visa online before you leave. It costs $100 and covers joint entry into both Rwanda and Tanzania (plus Kenya if you lay over there), saving you money and passport pages.

​

​

KC folks usually get together to purchase tickets and you’re welcome to join us either in person (at a coffee shop) or online. I recommend signing up for Google Flights to track prices, and feel free to share what you find with me. The goal is to book flights about three months before your departure.
