3-Day Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari with Big 5 Game Drives

• In the morning, depart from Arusha for Serengeti National Park.
• 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 views while enjoying an appetising picnic lunch on a kopje, a small hill in a generally flat area.
• Resume your journey and continue further into the Serengeti for a game drive.
• Proceed to Serengeti Camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

• Begin the day in central Serengeti, where you will have an opportunity to view the game.
• Savour lunch 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, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos, and antelopes. There are migrant birds from Eurasia as well as African birds such as vultures, storks, and flamingos. Much of the vegetation can be described as luscious and green, though there are also species of desert plants. The species you are likely to see depend 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.

• Rise early for departure from camp to ensure prompt arrival at the Ngorongoro Crater.
• Descend into the crater for your game drive, with a picnic lunch inside the crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is an immense, unbroken caldera formed when a volcano erupted millions of years ago. Its elevated structure encourages animals to remain within the crater, which means there is a high possibility of spotting every member of the Big 5: buffalo, lions, rhinos, elephants, and leopards.
• Expect to see other wildlife as well, including zebra, hippos, wildebeest, and hyenas. Flamingos lounge gracefully on the banks of Soda Lake, while vultures can be found scavenging for the discarded prey of predators. Geese and storks are among 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.
