Itinerary

1. Day 1 - Arusha to Serengeti National Park

   • In the morning, depart to the Serengeti National Park from Arusha.
   • Take the scenic route to the Serengeti, passing along the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa; it also features spectacular river crossings and is home to big predators.
   • Have the opportunity to marvel at the view whilst enjoying an appetising picnic lunch on a kopje (a small hill in a generally flat area).
   • Resume your journey and progress further into the Serengeti for a game drive.
   • Proceed to the Serengeti Camp for dinner and overnight.

2. Day 2 - Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

   • Begin the day in central Serengeti, where you will have an opportunity to view the game.
   • Savour lunch will be served in the park before proceeding to the Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro Crater has a diverse ecological system including lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, elands, wild dogs, gazelles, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos and antelopes. There are migrant birds from Eurasia and African birds such as vultures, storks and flamingos. The majority of the plantation can be described as luscious and green, but there are species of desert plants. The probability of what species you are likely to see all depends on the time of year and the migration of the herds.
   • Drive to the rim of the crater in the afternoon. 

   Spend the night at Simba Camp.

3. Day 3 - Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

   • Rise for an early departure from camp to ensure that arrival at the Ngorongoro Crater promptly.
   • Descend into the crater as your game drive with a picnic lunch is inside the crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is an immense, unbroken caldera formed when a volcano erupted millions of years ago. The elevated structure encourages the animals to subside within the crater, which means there is a high possibility of spotting every member of ‘The Big 5’. The powerful group comprises buffalo, lions, rhinos, elephants and leopards.
   • Expect to see other wildlife, including zebra, hippos, wildebeest and hyenas. The flamingos will lounge gracefully on the banks of Soda Lake whilst the vultures can be found scavenging for the discarded prey of a predator. Geese and storks are amongst some of the other bird species. The Tanzanian safari guides are highly skilled, and their ability to track down animals is impressive. This level of expertise is not easily acquired.
   • End your trip in the late afternoon and proceed to Arusha. Transportation to the airport or Arusha can be arranged on request.
