5-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari with Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, you will be picked up by our professional safari guide, who will introduce himself to you at the airport.

• After that, transfer to a hotel in Arusha City for a safari briefing and overnight stay. Get ready for a fantastic adventure and an unforgettable experience.

• After an early breakfast, depart for Serengeti National Park via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying game viewing en route and a half-day game drive on the way to the camp.

• Continuing along the crest hillside, spread out before you, as far as the eye can see, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means "endless plains" in the Maasai language. This 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals, including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Serengeti is also famous as the stage for the annual great wildebeest migration pilgrimage.

Waking up in the Serengeti plains is a dream come true, with the sight of Africa all around us and the unforgettable sound of nature.

• After breakfast, we continue our focus on the Great Plains, maximising our chance of seeing the greatest amount of wildlife in the least amount of time.

• After our picnic lunch, the focus continues on these plains' ecosystems, thriving on their millions of animals, migration, and predator-prey drama. It is all about witnessing the mass of life and beauty.

• In the early evening, drive to your accommodation inside the park for leisure time and a hot dinner, accompanied by a talk about the fantastic experiences of the day.

Optional at an extra cost: a Balloon Safari, an aerial adventure that leaves you with an awe-inspiring experience, accompanied by a bush breakfast and champagne after the tour, at a cost of $545 per person.

• Today, you will wake up very early for an early morning safari before breakfast, when the animals are more active, and to enjoy a fantastic sunrise in front of you. The sunrise in the African savannah is one of the most beautiful experiences one can have.

• After the game drive, return to the camp for brunch in the afternoon.

• Transfer to Ngorongoro, the 8th natural wonder of the world. With walls 2,000 ft high and a crater floor that spreads across 102 sq. miles, the crater is a virtual Noah's Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the rare black rhino. The crater has one of the greatest concentrations of nature on the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that from the top looks like steam and is full of flamingoes, a forest, and open plains. The large bull elephants that reside here have enormous tusks due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses.

• After breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park for a half-day game drive inside the crater. This is undoubtedly one of the best places to see big African elephants in Tanzania, as well as prides of lions that include magnificent black-maned males. There are also lots of impala, monkeys, and a variety of water birds. Leopard, cheetah, hyena, and many other members of the antelope family, along with small mammals of all sorts, can also be seen here.

• In the late afternoon, drive back to Arusha to the hotel for bed and breakfast.
