The itinerary

Day 01

From Arusha or Moshi to Serengeti National Park

Accommodation: Client's selection of public campsite, tented campsite, or lodges.
With our jeep safari in Arusha, we take an excursion from your hotel early in the morning after breakfast to Serengeti National Park. We will head straight into the Serengeti, passing close to the rim of Ngorongoro Crater in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, allowing for wildlife sightings along the way. The endless golden plains of Serengeti National Park, with zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, and the Big Five, make the park one of the seven natural wonders of Africa. At noon, you will have a picnic lunch at Naabai Kopje. After lunch, we set out for a leisurely walk on the plain. You will stay overnight in Serengeti National Park in one of the lodges of your choice.

Day 02

Game Drive in Central Serengeti

Accommodation: Client's selection of public campsite, tented campsite, or lodges.
We start the day safari in central Serengeti. The animals in central Serengeti are usually off the beaten track, so you can enjoy views of the Big Five, such as lion, leopard, elephant, cheetah, water buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest. Other animals found in Serengeti National Park include eland, hyena, gazelle, crocodile, giraffe, monkey, baboon, hippo, rhino, and antelope. After the game drive, a nice dinner will be served. The game drive will continue as you look for and photograph other animal habitats, then proceed to the accommodation point for rest, dinner, and an overnight stay before continuing the next day to Ngorongoro Crater.

Day 03

Serengeti Exploration and Drive to Ngorongoro

Accommodation: Client's selection of public campsite, tented campsite, or lodges.
After breakfast in the morning, gradually explore Serengeti National Park. The park contains a great concentration of animals. This is a day where you will enjoy seeing predators such as lions tracking down other animals as a food source. You might also see more hippos, herds of monkeys, and families of mongooses that day. After such an early start, a great and delicious lunch awaits you, which will be served in the park. In the afternoon, begin your Ngorongoro driving adventure by heading to your accommodation in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 04

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha or Moshi

Wake up early in the morning and enjoy a healthy breakfast before descending into Ngorongoro Crater with a packed lunch for more than six hours of game viewing. Ngorongoro Crater is the most densely populated African wildlife area in the world. It is home to a wide variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and elephant, as well as a large population of predators such as lion, hyena, jackal, cheetah, and leopard that roam the crater floor.
After a picnic lunch, embark on a short game drive in Ngorongoro Crater. In the late afternoon, ascend to Ngorongoro Gate and return to Arusha or Moshi Town.
