Take a game drive back to the Manyara Airstrip, for your scheduled flight to your chosen camp in the Serengeti – either &BEYOND Serengeti Under Canvas, &BEYOND Klein’s Camp or &BEYOND Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp. The Serengeti National Park, meaning “endless plains” in the Masai language, is undoubtedly one of the world’s most celebrated Wilderness areas and is an ongoing source of inspiration to writers, filmmakers and photographers.
Your Camp Manager and Ranger will help you plan your few days in the Serengeti. Relish twice-daily game drives, with sunrise and sundowner stops. Or take a full day game drive and scrumptious picnic, so that you can spend the entire day out.

Enjoy your shower under the stars, waking up to the golden sunrise through your tent, sitting around a cosy camp fire revelling in the romance and sounds of being in the bush, and far, far away from reality.
At &BEYOND Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp take the time to enjoy the gushing river and playful hippos as well as the exceptional year round lion sightings. Alternatively take the opportunity to go to Lake Victoria and interact with the villages and local way of life.
At &BEYOND Klein’s Camp take the time to enjoy the private concession, with opportunities to go on tranquil nature walks and thrilling night drives, or visit a Maasai community and gain insight into the day to day lives of this pastoralist community.

Enjoy an early morning game drive and a tantalising breakfast before being driven back to the airstrip, where we wave a fond farewell as you board your scheduled flight to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight onward.
