Itinerary

Arusha to Serengeti national park
- Commence your day with breakfast in Arusha. Then, take a scenic 6-hour drive to the Ndutu area via the Ngorongoro Conservation Gate.
- Upon reaching your destination, savour a delightful picnic lunch before venturing into an afternoon game drive, immersing yourself in the region's diverse wildlife.
- As the day concludes, relish a satisfying dinner and retire for the night at the welcoming Serenora public campsite. This journey ensures a picturesque drive and an intimate encounter with the rich wildlife and landscapes of the Ndutu area.
Serengeti national park
- After breakfast, embark on a captivating game drive in Central Serengeti. This promises an immersive wildlife experience in this habitat, including elephants, impalas, buffalo, crocs, and hippos. Central Serengeti is famous for its migrating herds of zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, giraffes, hyenas, warthogs, leopards, cheetahs, and lions playing their roles in the circle of life. You will also spot diverse bird species like secretary birds, Kori Bustard, red-billed hornbills, vultures, and superb starlings.
- Explore Seronera's diverse landscapes and enjoy a picnic lunch. Then, continue your game drive, discovering more of the Central Serengeti and witnessing a stunning sunset.
- The evening brings a magical bush dinner under the African night sky.
Ngorongoro crater to Arusha
- After your morning meal, journey from Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater. This natural wonder, hidden by towering volcanic walls, reveals a pristine wilderness with savannah, acacia woodlands, shimmering lakes, swamps, and a Maasai community presence. It was formed two to three million years ago by a massive volcano's eruption and collapse.
- As you descend into the crater, encounter wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and 500+ bird species. Spot critically endangered black rhinoceros on the open grasslands while enjoying a lunch box.
- After exploring the crater, head to your final stop, be it accommodation, Arusha Airport, or Kilimanjaro Airport, according to your travel plans.

Know Before You Go

Our representative will collect you from the airport and take you to your accommodation in Arusha for the night.

We are happy to book accommodation before and after your safari if needed.

Flying into Arusha / Kilimanjaro Airports is quite straightforward. English is widely spoken and used for signs and directions.

Arusha airport is a 30-minute drive from Arusha.

Kilimanjaro Airport is roughly a one-hour drive from Arusha. If you arrive on an international flight, clearing immigration can be a lengthy process.

The local currency is the Tanzanian Shillings. US Dollars and Euros are widely accepted. Most places will not accept older US dollar bills (printed before 2006).

If you intend to use your credit or debit card to withdraw funds, we suggest taking more than one card with you as you may find that your card is not accepted at the first ATM. You may try Visa and Maestro cards are best.

We recommend informing your bank that you will be using your card abroad to avoid being blocked. These are available in Arusha and allow you to withdraw local currency.

We advise you to arrive in Arusha at least one day before your trip begins. Return flights can be booked for the late afternoon/evening of the final day of your Safari, but please ensure your guide is aware of this so that you can arrive at the airport in plenty of time for your flight.

Please check with the relevant Embassy in your country for up-to-date visa and passport information. Ensure your passport will not expire within six months of your trip (i.e., if your trip is in September, make sure it is valid until at least March of the following year) and that it has at least three clear pages.

You will probably need a visa to enter Tanzania. Check with your country’s government travel website to find out how to get your visa. Most visas can be bought on arrival into the country.

You will require vaccinations for your trip. As we are not medically trained, we cannot give detailed advice on vaccination requirements. However, the following vaccinations are generally recommended for Tanzania: Tetanus, Polio, Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Rabies, Yellow Fever, and Malaria. (Yellow fever vaccination is compulsory when you enter Tanzania from a country with yellow fever).

Vaccination certificates are often checked at immigration. If you are entering Tanzania from a country that does not have Yellow Fever, vaccination is not needed. Please visit the World Health Organization website for an up-to-date list. http://www.who.int/ith/ITH_Annex_I.pdf

In some areas we visit, there is a risk of contracting Malaria. You must know that whatever malaria tablets you take only offer partial protection. They must be coupled with your physical efforts against being bitten - the best prevention. Malaria-carrying mosquitoes come out at sunset, so you should wear long sleeves and trousers from this time. Exposed skin, especially ankles, should have insect repellent containing 'Deet' applied to them.

We strongly recommend that you have extensive travel insurance to cover you for your trip. It is also wise to leave a copy of your insurance policy with a friend or relative for safekeeping. Your policy should include adequate Medical Emergency and Repatriation coverage.

Tanzania has a well-established tipping culture.

Guides: If you feel you have received good service, a typical tip is U$D 10-15 per person daily.

In February to March, the Serengeti hosts the climax of the Great Migration. Millions of wildebeest and zebras gather in the southern plains, giving birth to calves amid lush grasses. Predators lurk, creating a dramatic dance of survival. The landscape becomes a canvas of endless savannas, acacia trees, and stunning sunsets, offering a prime spectacle for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. Witness the Serengeti at its most vibrant and dynamic during this unforgettable period.
