Day 1Lodge
Arrival in the late afternoon and check-in at the lodge where you can relax by the pool, on the veranda, or simply enjoy the tranquility. At sunset, the guide meets the group for an initial briefing and a drink with a bush view. If a polo match is taking place, there is an opportunity to watch it before dinner is served. The evening concludes with an introduction to the safari and a good night's sleep in comfortable lodge rooms. For early arrivals, golf, spa or a peaceful horseback ride can be arranged in advance.
Day 2Mobile camp
After breakfast, a short transfer awaits to a private airstrip and a scenic flight over the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Upon landing in the Serengeti, a 2–3 hour game drive follows, providing your first encounter with the landscape and wildlife. When you arrive at the camp, lunch and a briefing await, followed by an introduction to your four-legged companion for the coming days. In the afternoon, a first short riding session will take place before you return to the camp for sundowners and dinner under the stars.
Day 3Mobile camp
The day starts with breakfast in the morning light before the morning ride goes out across open plains and with a good chance of spotting wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, jackals, and hyenas. After lunch and a siesta in the camp, an afternoon session is waiting, followed by drinks and dinner under the night sky. A gentle but content-rich introduction to the rhythm of the safari.
Day 4Mobile camp
On this day, you will move the camp for the first time to a new location, and the day begins with a longer riding session through open grassy meadows and along dry riverbeds, in search of elephants and traces of predators. Lunch is served picnic-style outdoors, followed by a short rest. The afternoon offers more riding hours in the golden light towards the next campsite. The evening concludes with dinner and rest in the new location, surrounded by the sounds of the savannah at night.
Day 5Mobile camp
With new areas to explore, both the pace and the views shift. The day often offers longer canters and the opportunity to ride side by side with giraffes. After lunch and rest in camp, a calmer afternoon ride awaits. A day that combines speed, and the feeling of being completely immersed in the rhythm of the Serengeti.
Day 6Fly camp
You ride across plains that are often teeming with over two million animals during calving season — the grunting of the wildebeests and the presence of predators are palpable. Lunch is served in the shade of a tree before you switch from horses to safari vehicles for a game drive in an area known for its high concentration of big cats. This evening and night are spent in a fly camp – mosquito net tents, a campfire, shared facilities, and dinner under the open sky. One of the journey's most spectacular and authentic overnight experiences.
Day 7Mobile camp
The day starts before dawn with coffee and a game drive in the morning light in search of big cats. Breakfast is served before you return to the horses for continued riding towards the iconic Olduvai Gorge. Here, natural history meets humanity's earliest traces, providing a unique sense of perspective. After lunch in the shade, the ride continues towards the next camp, beautifully positioned for the remaining days of the safari.
Day 8Mobile camp
You're approaching the Ngorongoro Highlands where the air becomes cooler and the views dramatically open up. In clear weather, Ol Doinyo Lengai — Tanzania's only active volcano — can be seen rising from the landscape. If the rains have fallen, additional parts of the migration may gather on the plains. After lunch at the camp, the final afternoon ride awaits before the evening concludes with a festive farewell dinner.
Day 9Departure
After an early breakfast, it’s time to say farewell to the horses and team. You travel in safari vehicles up through the Ngorongoro Highlands and along the crater rim — a final monumental view of Tanzania's wilderness. The journey continues to a local shop for handicrafts and tanzanite, before you reach the airstrip. A 30-minute private flight takes you back to Kilimanjaro International Airport where the safari concludes and the journey home begins.
