Description

Embark on a 4-day camping safari from Arusha. Explore the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti National Park, home to the Big Five and the Great Migration.
Day 1: Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater

Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Arusha. Drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, passing through the agricultural highlands and Maasai villages. Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and enjoy a full-day game drive. Spot lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, hippos, and more. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater before ascending to your campsite on the crater rim. Relax with a freshly prepared dinner under the starry African sky.

Day 2: Ngorongoro to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, drive to the Serengeti National Park, passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Enjoy a game drive en route to the Seronera area, known for its high concentration of wildlife. Spot lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, and more. Have lunch at a designated picnic spot in the Serengeti. Continue your exploration with an afternoon game drive in the central plains. Set up camp in the heart of the Serengeti and enjoy dinner surrounded by the sounds of the wild.

Day 3: Full Day Game Drive in the Serengeti

Opt for an early morning hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti plains (book in advance) or enjoy an early morning game drive. After breakfast, spend the entire day exploring different areas of the Serengeti, depending on the time of year and wildlife movements. Your guide will track animals to maximize your sightings. Witness the Great Migration (depending on the season), see large herds of wildebeests and zebras, and have opportunities to spot the "Big Five." Enjoy a picnic lunch in the Serengeti and continue your game viewing as the day cools down. Return to your campsite for dinner and another night under the vast Serengeti sky.

Day 4: Serengeti Game Drive and Drive Back to Arusha

Enjoy one last early morning game drive in the Serengeti, taking advantage of the early morning light and animal activity. After breakfast, pack up the campsite and begin your journey back to Arusha. Enjoy a final game drive as you exit the Serengeti and drive back towards Arusha. A packed lunch will be provided en route.
