The itinerary

Day 01

Arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport and Transfer to Arusha

Your private guide will be waiting with a welcoming smile to pick you up at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO).
Relax in your comfortable safari vehicle as you are driven to your hotel in Arusha for an overnight stay. You may have your pre-safari briefing today; if not, it will take place early tomorrow morning, depending on your arrival time.

Day 02

Drive to Serengeti and Afternoon Game Drive

Early in the morning, your guide will pick you up from your hotel. He will give a tour briefing if it was not done on your arrival.
After that, begin the fantastic drive to Serengeti National Park.
You will arrive in Serengeti in the early afternoon, where you will have lunch at a picnic area inside the park.
After lunch, you will start an afternoon game drive until late evening, when you will head to your lodge for a night's stay.

Day 03

Full-Day Serengeti Safari and Journey to Ngorongoro

Today, we have the whole day to enjoy this magnificent park and its fascinating inhabitants. Enjoy seeing large groups of different animals such as elephants, lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, hippopotamuses, wildebeests, and many others in action.
Snap some memorable photos, but don't forget to take a deep breath and enjoy nature in its real-time, raw beauty.
You will have lunch at a picnic area with one of the best views in central Serengeti. After our game drive, we journey to Ngorongoro.

Day 04

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Departure to JRO

After an early breakfast, we will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife on a half-day safari tour. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater sustains a wide variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another major draw of this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner and one of the crater's main features. Many flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here.
