Day 01

Arusha to Central Serengeti Game Viewing

After an early breakfast, we will drive to Central Serengeti, in the Seronera area. This is the most famous part of the Serengeti and harbours more diverse wildlife than other areas of the park. Animals such as hippos, waterbuck, impala, elephants, giraffes, and baboons are widely spread here. The area also attracts predators like lions, hyenas, leopards, and cheetahs because of the large number of prey that live here. Your professional guide will take you to the best spots teeming with animals. During game viewing, you will enjoy the mesmerizing sight of the wild plains of Serengeti.

Dinner and overnight accommodation will be provided at your chosen accommodation in Central Serengeti.

Day 02

Sunrise Game Drive and Transfer to Ngorongoro

After breakfast, you will embark on an early morning game drive in Serengeti National Park, enjoying the beautiful sunrise and the astonishing wild plains that make wildlife viewing easy. Animals such as lions, zebras, wildebeests, cheetahs, and hippos are easily spotted.

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha

An early breakfast will be offered at your respective camp or lodge. Then we will descend into the crater for a full day of game viewing in the world's largest caldera, which boasts astonishing scenery and a very high concentration of animals, including the endangered black rhino. The area has many elephants, so keep your eyes open for these large mammals. Ngorongoro Crater is home to many animals, including 15,000 wildebeest, 9,000 zebras, 400 hyenas, 120 lions, and around 50 highly endangered black rhinos. The crater also supports a diverse range of bird species, including the augur buzzard, rufous-tailed weaver, fan-tailed widowbird, and anteater chat. The water sources in the crater may be one of the reasons animals are drawn to the area.
