Full Itinerary
Upon arrival at Serval Wildlife Sanctuary, you’ll be greeted by a local wildlife guide who offers a safety briefing and outlines the day’s experience. The tour begins with a gentle walk through the sanctuary grounds, where rescued animals roam in large, natural enclosures. You’ll have the chance to interact with zebras, giraffes, elands, and other herbivores — feeding sessions are included and are a favorite for many visitors.
Throughout the experience, guides share the stories of the animals, how they arrived at Serval, and the conservation philosophy behind the sanctuary. It’s a rare opportunity to get close to wildlife in an ethical, non-exploitative setting while learning about animal welfare in Tanzania.
After your walk, you’re invited to relax at the sanctuary’s eco-resort lounge or garden terrace. A farm-to-table lunch is served, featuring organic produce grown on-site. The menu includes both local Tanzanian dishes and international options, with vegetarian and vegan choices available.
For those looking to unwind, a short spa treatment or foot massage (subject to availability) can be arranged, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the sanctuary even further.
By 4:30 PM, you begin your journey back to Arusha. The drive retraces the scenic route through Maasai country, ending with hotel drop-off by early evening.
