Day 01

Moshi to Central Serengeti via Ngorongoro

• Meet your tour guide in Moshi at 06:30 am and drive through the beautiful colours and scenic views of the Masai steppe.
• The journey takes you through the beautiful highland farms of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area as you approach the majestic vast land of Serengeti National Park, which hosts one of the largest and most diverse predator-prey interactions in the world.
• You will then proceed to Central Serengeti, also known as the Seronara area. This place is famously considered the predator capital of the world and also features the Seronara River. The area is a must-visit as it offers a variety of different habitats, possibly due to its year-round water source.
• In the evening, your guide will take you to the accommodation facility for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 02

Serengeti Game Drive and Transfer to Ngorongoro

• After an early breakfast in the heart of the Serengeti, proceed on a game drive as you indulge in the beauty of the oldest ecosystem on earth. Mornings here can be a bit chilly, so keep your sweater on.
• Continue with the game drive until afternoon, then head back to camp for a hot lunch.
• Only half of this day will be spent in the Serengeti, but you will keep exploring its unique nature teeming with animals such as zebras, hippos, wildebeest, giraffes, and elephants.
• After lunch, head southeast towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Day 03

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Moshi

• While driving around the rim of the crater, you can look down and spot herds of wildebeest or buffalo.
• After descending into the crater, see the floor of the largest unbroken caldera in the world, popularly known as the Garden of Eden. The whole day will be spent game driving on the crater floor, so keep your eyes open as you might spot the endangered black rhino.
• Spot wildlife in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, with a glorious landscape filled with about 25,000 animals, including ungulates, the Big Five, and other large mammals. It is also one of the best places to spot critically endangered animals like black rhinos, golden cats, and wild hunting dogs. The soda ash lakes are among its unique features, containing alkaline water that supports many water birds, especially flamingos. The area is managed for both wildlife and the Masai people who have long resided here, so while driving through the site, you will also see the unique lifestyle of the Masai people.
• You will have a picnic lunch at the Hippo Poolside Picnic Site and resume your game drive in the afternoon as you head out of the Ngorongoro Crater.
• Depart from Ngorongoro Crater and drive back to Moshi.
