I was picked up at Kilimanjaro Airport right on time, and the driver was welcoming and helpful. After a night in Arusha, we started the journey to the Serengeti the next morning.The vehicle was clean and comfortable, with enough space and charging ports, which was helpful during long drives. Our guide was experienced and took time to explain animal behavior and answer all our questions. He also gave us space to enjoy the sightings in silence, which I appreciated.The calving season was a powerful experience—thousands of wildebeest, so many calves, and predators nearby. We had some intense moments but also peaceful ones just watching wildlife graze or rest.Accommodation was well chosen—nothing too flashy, but clean, safe, and located in areas with great views and access to wildlife.
