The Birdie — Weekend Golf Getaway

Depart Arusha on a morning charter flight and arrive in the Serengeti by late morning. Transfer directly to the course for a full 18 holes at Serengeti National Park Golf Course. The afternoon light is perfect as you navigate a layout where buffalo might occupy the rough and giraffe spectate from the treeline. Check into Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge for sundowner cocktails on the terrace as the savanna turns gold.

A pre-dawn game drive catches the Serengeti at its most alive — lions returning from the hunt, cheetah scanning the plains, and the golden light illuminating millions of acres of grassland. Return for a full breakfast, then enjoy an afternoon at leisure by the pool. As the sun begins its descent, a private vehicle delivers you to a rocky kopje where a sundowner setup awaits — cold drinks, artisanal canapes, and a panorama that defines Africa.

Enjoy a leisurely final breakfast at the lodge with views across the Serengeti. A late-morning transfer to the airstrip connects with your charter flight back to Arusha, arriving early afternoon with time for an onward connection or a night in the city.
