Day 01

Into Serengeti and the Seronera Wildlife Area

  • After breakfast, we head towards Serengeti National Park via the beautiful, high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa, Serengeti National Park, with its endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see.
  • We continue to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species.
  • We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in Serengeti National Park.

Dinner and overnight at a camp.

Day 02

Early Serengeti Game Drive to Ngorongoro Rim

  • After an early breakfast, we go on an early game drive, seeing many animals until the afternoon, when we head to camp for lunch.
  • After packing, we enjoy a game drive as we exit the Serengeti, heading to a tented lodge near the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, about a 2-hour drive away.

Overnight at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater.

Day 03

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha

  • After breakfast, we descend into the crater with lunch boxes and enjoy a game drive for over six hours. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhinos.
  • Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the crater supports a wide variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big drawcard to this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard on the crater floor.
  • After a picnic lunch, you will continue with a game drive. In the late afternoon, you will drive back to Arusha Town.

Overnight at Arusha.
