Overview

Discover the timeless wilderness of the Serengeti

Experience one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations with a 4-day fly-in journey from Arusha into the heart of the Serengeti.

Designed for travellers who want to maximise their time in the wilderness, this safari replaces long road transfers with scheduled flights between Arusha and the Serengeti, allowing more time for wildlife encounters, relaxation and unforgettable moments in one of the world’s greatest natural landscapes.

Your journey begins with a private transfer from your hotel in Arusha to the airport, followed by a scheduled safari flight into the Serengeti. Upon arrival, your safari experience begins immediately, with game drives through the vast plains before reaching your camp.


Pioneer Camp — A classic Serengeti safari experience

Located in the Moru Kopjes area of South Central Serengeti, Pioneer Camp offers an exceptional base from which to explore one of Tanzania’s most celebrated wildlife regions.

Surrounded by dramatic landscapes, open plains and abundant wildlife, the camp provides excellent access to the Serengeti’s resident animals and, depending on the season, the spectacular movements of the Great Migration.

Inspired by the golden age of African exploration, Pioneer Camp captures the romance of a traditional tented safari while offering the comfort of private en-suite accommodation and attentive service.

With only twelve tented accommodations, the camp provides an intimate atmosphere where guests can reconnect with nature while enjoying exceptional safari experiences.


Life in the Serengeti

During your stay, enjoy twice-daily game drives with experienced safari guides, exploring the diverse landscapes surrounding the camp.

Your days may include:

✓ Early morning wildlife drives
✓ Afternoon safari excursions
✓ Full-day game drives with picnic lunches
✓ Sundowners overlooking the Serengeti plains
✓ Bush dining experiences
✓ Optional Serengeti Balloon Safari (available on request)

From lions resting among the kopjes to vast herds moving across the plains, each safari offers the opportunity for remarkable wildlife encounters.
