Day 01

Arusha to Serengeti via Ngorongoro Conservation Area

  • After breakfast, meet your guide in Arusha at 07:15 am and begin the 7-hour drive to Serengeti National Park, including all stops, passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

  • Stop at the Ngorongoro Crater viewpoint for 20 minutes to admire the breathtaking view of the crater.

  • Visit a Maasai village (optional) and explore the culture of the great Maasai tribe, once known for chasing lions from their kill and hunting lions to be considered warriors. While many of these traditions are now a thing of the past, with the exception of drinking raw animal blood, you can still surely learn something from the visit.

  • Arrive in Serengeti National Park in the late afternoon and enjoy a game drive in Seronera, the centre of the Serengeti, until late evening. Experience the sunset in the Serengeti while getting a close view of wild animals. If you are lucky, you may even see a predator hunting or on a kill.
