The itinerary

Day 01

Drive to Central Serengeti and Game Viewing in Seronera

After an early breakfast, we drive to the center of the Serengeti, also known as the Seronera area. This region is the best-known area in the Serengeti and is home to more diverse fauna than other parts of the park. Common animals here include hippopotamus, antelopes, impalas, elephants, giraffes, and baboons.

The area also attracts predators such as lions, hyenas, leopards, and cheetahs due to its strong wildlife population. Your professional African wildlife guide will take you to the best spots teeming with wildlife. Enjoy mesmerizing views of the wild plains of the Serengeti while spotting game.

Dinner and overnight accommodation are provided at your chosen lodging in central Serengeti.

Day 02

Morning Safari in Serengeti and Transfer to Ngorongoro

After breakfast, begin your morning drive in Serengeti National Park and enjoy the beautiful sunrise and breathtaking scenery of the wild plains. This offers excellent wildlife observation opportunities, with animals such as lions, zebras, wildebeest, cheetahs, hippos, and more easily visible.

After lunch, continue the journey toward Ngorongoro while enjoying game viewing along the way. Dinner and an overnight stay will be provided at your chosen accommodation around the crater rim.

Day 03

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Arusha

After an early breakfast at your camp or lodge, we descend into the Ngorongoro Crater to observe wildlife throughout the day. This is the largest caldera in the world, boasting an amazing landscape and a very high concentration of animals, including the endangered black rhino. Tanzania is also home to many elephants, so keep an eye out for this large mammal.

Ngorongoro Crater is home to 15,000 wildebeest, 9,000 zebras, 400 hyenas, about 120 lions, and about 50 endangered black rhinos. Additionally, the crater has a diverse range of bird species, including augur vultures, red-tailed weavers, fan-tailed widows, and sunbirds. The water sources in the crater could be one of the reasons why animals settled in this area.

After a long day of game viewing, we return to Moshi/Arusha for dinner and an overnight stay at your hotel. This marks the end of the tour.
