Itinerary
-
Day 1: Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park
- Meet up with your local guide to start the tour. Leave Arusha town and drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
- Enjoy game drives through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area around 10 AM in closed safari vehicles with pop–up roofs.
- Drive to Loduare Gate, where your driver-guide will process your Park entry paperwork.
- Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater and make your way through lush forests, home to numerous elephants and buffaloes. Reach inside the Ngorongoro Crater and marvel at the incredible landscape around you. The main feature of this crater tour is a large, unbroken, unfolded volcanic caldera that was formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some two to three million years ago. It is 610m (2,000 ft.) deep, and its floor covers 260 km² (100 sq. mi).

- Ascend from the Crater's floor after lunch and drive to Serengeti doing game drive en route.
Arrive at your lodge in time for dinner and overnight at Ang’ata Camp in Central Serengeti.
-
Day 2: Serengeti National Park Full Day Tour
- Leave your Camp for a full day game drive through Serengeti. Central Serengeti is home to the beautiful Seronera valley. See several perennial rivers running through this valley, enabling many resident animals to thrive all year round. You can marvel at this amazing abundance and diversity of easily seen large predators that attract thousands of visitors and hundreds of researchers to the Seronera river valley each year.
- Observe these large carnivores, and since many are resident, excellent encounters are available year-round. It is not unusual to see all four large predators (lion, hyena, leopard and cheetah) during the course of a day in the central Serengeti.
- Spot the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, black rhinoceros and buffalo, while exploring the park. Other animals such as cheetah, Thomson's and Grant's gazelle, topi, eland, waterbuck, hyena, baboon, impala, African wild dog and giraffe can also be seen.
- Admire the beautiful birdlife of this park as well. It boasts of 500 bird species, including ostrich, secretary bird, Kori bustard, crowned crane, marabou stork, martial eagle, lovebirds and many species of vultures.

There are large populations of resident wildebeest and zebra that do not join their migratory cousins as they pass through every year on their journey northwards.
