The itinerary

Day 01

Arusha to Central Serengeti's Seronera Area

After an early breakfast, we will drive to central Serengeti, also known as the Seronera area. This is the most famous area in Serengeti and harbors diverse wildlife compared to other parts of the park. Animals such as hippo, waterbuck, impala, elephant, giraffe, and baboon are widely spread here.

The area also attracts predators like lion, hyena, leopard, and cheetah because of the good number of prey that reside in the area. Your professional Nike 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 in Serengeti and Transfer to Ngorongoro

After breakfast, you will start your early morning game drive in Serengeti National Park while enjoying the beautiful sunrise and the 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 start driving to Ngorongoro with game viewing en route along the way. Dinner and an overnight stay will be offered at your choice of accommodation around the crater rim.

Day 03

Ngorongoro Crater Game Viewing 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 wildebeest, 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 so closely drawn to the area.

After a long day of game viewing, we will retire to Moshi/Arusha for dinner and a night's rest at your hotel. End of tour.
