Itinerary

Day 1: Arusha - Serengeti National Park

Your personal safari specialist/driver who will brief you on the journey ahead will meet you at Arusha at 7am. Equipped with a wealth of knowledge, our experts will be able to answer any questions you have and provide you with all the information necessary for an unforgettable safari experience.

You will depart for the South Serengeti ecosystem belonging jointly to the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The drive itself, although long, is spectacular.

You will drive through the crater highlands, making a quick stop at the rim for an out-of-this world view of the Ngorongoro Crater. One of the most scenic drives in Tanzania, you can see

Maasai warriors grazing cattle and, depending on the time of year you may witness what makes up the largest mass migration of animals on earth.

Huge herds of wildebeest, gazelle and zebra moving clockwise to find better grazing areas. You will enjoy a game drive en route to your reserved accommodation.

Day 2: Full Day in Serengeti National Park

The endless plains of the Serengeti… Today’s tour departs around 6am in search of nocturnal predators returning from their night’s

hunting or animals waking up in the early dawn. Breakfast boxes will be prepared and you

will take a brief stop for a bush breakfast to enjoy the sun rise. Next, your drive will continue to Grumeti River searching for the migration, look for prides of lions, cheetahs and leopards,

all in abundance in the Serengeti. You will learn the history of the park as we pass by the information Centre in the Seronera area, before returning to your lodge for a relaxed lunch and cold drinks.

Later in the afternoon, when the sun is less intense, you have the option to go on an early

evening game drive or a nature walk around the camp with the resident tribesmen, who will be happy to share their knowledge of the regions’ plants and animals with you.

Day 3: Serengeti - Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha

After an early breakfast, you will begin your journey to the stunning Ngorongoro. Upon arrival you will be descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage

Site, formed when a volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself 2-3 million years ago. You will enjoy your first game drive around the crater floor, stopping for a picnic lunch at one of the many scenic lunch spots.

With its 2,000-foot-high walls, very few animals migrate in and out of the crater making it an area with one of the highest concentrations of wild animals in the world.

You’ll be searching for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many rare birds you might even get to see the ‘Big Five’ all in one day!

After lunch, depart to Arusha where we will drop you off at your chosen accommodations or where you will connect to your flight to your next destination.
