The itinerary

Day 01

Arusha to Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti

Depart from Arusha at 07:00 am for a drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Arrive around 10:30 am. This is the best time for a game drive because animals are roaming around looking for pasture for herbivores or meat for carnivores. Descend the 600 m-high walls to the floor of the crater and get up close with one of Africa's seven natural wonders. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is considered one of Africa's most beautiful and unique places. The crater is also one of the best places to spot a black rhino at close range, and you may also be lucky enough to witness the endangered rhino.

No overnight stay at Ngorongoro. We will use Ngorongoro as a rest stop on the way to Serengeti and spend the night at Serengeti National Park (Osnon Tented Camps).

Day 02

Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

In the morning, soon after breakfast, we will drive around Serengeti National Park. This is probably the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world. Its 14,763 sq km area hosts 3 million large mammals and more than 35 species of plains animals, such as zebra, wildebeest, eland, and giraffe. Several other animals are also found here, including the Big Five: elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, and rhino. The park is famous for the annual migration of wildebeest.
