Trip Overview

From Moshi or Arusha | Private Day Trip | Wildlife & Conservation Experience

Discover a different side of Tanzania with a private Serval Wildlife Sanctuary Day Trip, an exciting wildlife experience in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Unlike a traditional game drive, this experience gives you the opportunity to explore a protected wildlife sanctuary on foot and enjoy supervised close-up encounters with a variety of African animals.

Located in the Siha area of Kilimanjaro, Serval Wildlife Sanctuary provides an intimate setting to observe animals including giraffes, lions, servals, monkeys, elands, zebras and ostriches, depending on the animals present and current sanctuary conditions. The experience also combines wildlife with beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru.

This day trip is ideal for couples, families, solo travelers and visitors with limited time in northern Tanzania who want to experience wildlife without committing to a multi-day national park safari.

Your Serval Wildlife Sanctuary Day Trip begins with a morning pickup from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha. From Moshi, the journey takes you through the beautiful countryside toward the Kilimanjaro highlands and Siha District.

Upon arrival at Serval Wildlife Sanctuary, you will meet the sanctuary team and begin your guided wildlife experience. The sanctuary provides an opportunity to see animals at close range in a controlled conservation environment, with trained staff guiding visitors on how to interact responsibly with the animals. Published descriptions of the experience include opportunities for supervised feeding, photography and interaction with selected animals.

During your visit, you may encounter giraffes, lions, servals, monkeys, elands, zebras, ostriches and other wildlife. The exact animals and interactions available can vary, so the experience should be approached as a wildlife and conservation visit rather than a guaranteed animal encounter.

The sanctuary’s landscaped environment also provides beautiful views toward Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru, making the experience especially attractive for photography.

After the wildlife experience, enjoy lunch before beginning your return journey to Moshi or Arusha.

The total excursion generally takes most of the day when transportation, the sanctuary visit and lunch are included. Published tour options vary in duration, while the sanctuary’s day-visit hours are generally around 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

 Verified Great first Safari experience!!
We did 3 different game drives and saw every animal in abundance except for a lion-- although we did see vultures but couldn't pin point it. Moses was super helpful in communicating all of the prices and plans in advance and our guide, Hassan, was amazing. It was sad leaving him at the end of the trip but we will for sure stay in contact. The lodging both inside the camp and the nicer one outside for the 2nd night were both nice. All of the food was so so good and visiting the Maasai village on the 2nd day was a huge highlight of our trip. 100% would recommend to anyone.

 Verified Unforgettable Adventure!
We had an amazing four-day safari in Mikumi and Selous with unforgettable memories. The start was great, the communication was easy and Moses was very flexible to our needs. From the first moment Zack was the perfect guide with an impressive knowledge about animals, their behaviour and the ecosystem. He knows the huge biodiversity of Tanzania very well and identifies animals easily by voices and tracks. It was a breathtaking feeling to see elephants close enough to touch. Besides nature and wildlife, Zack takes us on a journey through the impressive culture and daily life of people in Tanzania. We are very thankful. Zack was not just a top tour guide but also a very kind and friendly company. Moreover, accommodations were wonderful and the food was really good. It was an adventure of a lifetime. Next safari is safe! We are very thankful and highly recommend Sweet Memory Adventure. Asante sana!
