ARRIVAL IN TANZANIA
Arrive in Tanzania via Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), where a Pamoja Safaris representative will be waiting outside to greet and transfer you to your lodge in Arusha City (1.5 hours).
Upon arrival, we’ll check you in and arrange a welcome dinner and trip orientation with your trip leader. (If your flight arrives late at night, we’ll schedule your trip orientation for the next morning or evening so that you have time to get a good night’s rest this evening.)

Early morning wake up to be collected for your sunrise hot air balloon safari around 5:00 am. You’ll board just after 6:00 am and have around one hour in the air to witness the spectacular landscapes and see animals from the air. After landing you’ll be picked up by the balloon crew members and taken to a special spot where you’ll be served a full breakfast in the middle of the park. You’ll be reunited with your Pamoja guide around 10:00 am, after which we’ll continue our land-based safari in the Central Serengeti for the rest of the day, doing our best to locate the Great Wildebeest Migration. (If you’re not doing the hot air balloon, you’ll proceed with your safari after breakfast.)
DAY 07
Serengeti NP to Arusha to Kilimanjaro Airport
After breakfast, we will make our way toward the Seronera Airstrip, located in the Central Serengeti. There, we will board a light aircraft that will transport us approximately an hour to Arusha Airport (ARK), where you’ll be picked up and taken to lunch (time permitting).

ADD THESE EXPERIENCES TO YOUR TRIP
Fun in the Sun on Zanzibar Island
Zanzibar Island is the perfect place to spend a few days soaking up the sun after your safari adventure. Located only an hour-long domestic flight away from Arusha City, this island paradise is the perfect way to end any safari or Kilimanjaro adventure. Once the capital of the world spice trade, Zanzibar is now home to white sand beaches, crystal clear blue waters, amazing seafood, a colorful local culture, plenty of fun activities, and resorts and hotels of all varieties.
Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Safari
Experience the scenic ride of a lifetime, floating over the endless Serengeti plains on a hot air balloon safari. Starting at sunrise, our team of professional pilots and ground crew will have you up in the air for an hour or so, seeing the majestic scenery and wildlife in a totally different way than you’re able to on the ground. If you’re lucky, you might even get to experience the Great Migration from the air! The perfect addition to any safari adventure, any time of year.
Ranger-Guided Rhino Experience
Search for the elusive northern black rhinos that inhabit the lesser-traveled areas of Serengeti National Park alongside a team of park rangers. By far the toughest animal to spot on any Tanzanian safari, the rhinoceros is known for being difficult to locate as well as notoriously skittish around humans. Our park ranger friends, trained to observe and protect the rhinos 24/7/365, will guide us to the closest population of rhinos so that we can observe them safely in their natural habitat.
