3-Day Safaris

3-Day Fly-in Direct to Serengeti National Park

This 3-day fly-in safari to Serengeti National Park is perfect for travelers with limited time in Tanzania. Instead of spending several hours driving from Arusha, you will take a short flight directly to the Serengeti, allowing you to maximize your time exploring the park’s incredible wildlife and landscapes.

Serengeti National Park is world-famous for the spectacular Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and other animals, move across the vast plains in search of fresh grazing. The park’s breathtaking savannah landscapes have earned it the nickname “the endless plains.”

On this safari, you will fly in and out of the Serengeti, giving you more time to enjoy thrilling game drives and unforgettable wildlife encounters in one of Africa’s most iconic national parks.

His profound understanding of the terrain and wildlife, honed over 48 years, has earned him roles as an ambassador driver for Tanzania and a guide for dignitaries such as Bill Clinton's staff. Now, Paul and his daughter, Janeth, pour this passion into Simcha Safaris, ensuring every journey honors the land, the wildlife, and the generations of guides who came before.
