4-Day Tanzania Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater

Pick up at 6:30 AM from your hotel in Arusha and proceed towards Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, 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.

Head 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.

Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in Serengeti National Park.

Today, enjoy a full-day game drive in the Serengeti, with chances to see predators chasing their prey and enjoying their kill. Serengeti is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, unequalled for its natural beauty and scientific value.

Have a game drive in the endless plains of the Serengeti, with a chance to see the great herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, or a pride of lions lounging in the shade.

Enjoy an early breakfast and meet your guide for a last morning game drive in Serengeti National Park. Later, depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with an en-route game drive and picnic lunch.

Ngorongoro is a special conservation area and not a national park. The whole area is managed for both animals and the local Maasai people, who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife.

After breakfast, descend into the crater and enjoy a 5-hour game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely populated 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, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard.

Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor. In the late afternoon, drive back to Arusha and drop off at your hotel.
