Trip Overview

This full-day tour to Serval Wildlife Sanctuary is ideal for travelers looking for a unique, luxury wildlife experience just a short drive from Arusha. Located in the Siha District, West Kilimanjaro, about 1.5 to 2 hours from Arusha, Serval Wildlife offers an eco-luxury sanctuary where guests can interact safely with wildlife in a controlled, ethical environment. Unlike traditional national parks, Serval provides close-up animal encounters in a beautifully designed setting. You’ll have the rare chance to feed giraffes, walk alongside zebras, get close to ostriches, elands, and even meet rescued lions and cheetahs from the sanctuary’s conservation efforts. With breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance and luxurious surroundings, this trip is perfect for families, couples, photographers, or anyone wanting a relaxed but unforgettable animal experience without a full safari.
