Day 02

Tarangire to Serengeti via Ngorongoro

  • Savour a delicious breakfast.

  • Transit to Serengeti National Park via Ngorongoro. We will take the scenic route to the Serengeti, which allows us to travel near the Ngorongoro Crater. There is a possibility of spotting game along the way. The endless golden savannah, with splotches of colour created by the vegetation and wildlife, makes it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa.

  • Stop to enjoy your picnic lunch on a kopje, a small hill in a generally flat area.

  • Proceed further into the Serengeti for a leisurely game drive.

  • Spend the night at the Kati Kati tented camp on full board.

Day 03

Early Serengeti Game Drive to Ngorongoro

  • Begin your day with an early morning game drive in the central Serengeti. The savannah is a dynamic landscape; the air is filled with the melodies created by birds as the renewed sunlight illuminates the entire landscape. Your guide will study the prints on the ground to pursue predators.

  • Travel to the Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge.

Day 04

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drives and Return to Arusha

  • Embark on Ngorongoro Crater game drives with picnic lunch boxes after breakfast. Few safari destinations produce the same experience as the Ngorongoro Crater - game viewing is effortless here. Most animals remain within the crater due to its high walls. This is the perfect location to view every member of 'The Big 5' in one day.

  • Have a wonderful picnic lunch inside the crater. The unfilled caldera is also home to hyenas, hippos, zebra, wildebeest, and an impressive variety of water birds. Your guide will enlighten you by sharing facts about the animals and vegetation, and by locating hidden animals.

  • Depart for Arusha.
