The itinerary

Day 01

Arusha to Central Serengeti Game Drive

After a very early breakfast, we will drive to central Serengeti, also known as the Seronera area. This is the most famous part of Serengeti and harbours diverse wildlife compared to the other parts of the park. Animals such as hippos, waterbucks, impalas, elephants, giraffes, and baboons are widely spread here. The area also attracts predators like lions, hyenas, leopards, and cheetahs because of the good number of prey that resides in the area.
Your professional Africa Natural Tours guide will take you to all the best spots teeming with animals.
While game viewing, you will enjoy the mesmerizing sight of the wild plains of Serengeti. Dinner and an overnight stay will be offered at your accommodation of choice in central Serengeti.

Day 02

Sunrise Game Drive and Transfer to Ngorongoro

After breakfast, you will start your early morning game drive in Serengeti National Park while enjoying the beautiful sunrise and astonishing wild plains of Serengeti, which make wildlife viewing easy. Animals like lions, zebras, wildebeests, cheetahs, hippos, and many more are easily spotted.
After lunch, you will drive to Ngorongoro with game viewing en route. Dinner and an overnight stay will be offered at your choice of accommodation around the crater rim.

Day 03

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha

An early breakfast will be offered at your respective camp or lodge, and we will descend into the crater for a full day of game viewing in the world's largest caldera. It has astonishing scenery and a very high concentration of animals, including the endangered black rhino. The land is home to many elephants, so keep your eyes open to see this large mammal. Ngorongoro Crater has a high number of animals: 15,000 wildebeests, 9,000 zebras, 400 hyenas, about 120 lions, and around 50 highly endangered black rhinos. The crater also has a good number of birds, 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 the animals are drawn to the area.
After a long day of game viewing, we will retire to Moshi or Arusha for dinner and a night's rest at your hotel.
