Description
Embark on a 4-day safari adventure in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Spot the Big Five, explore the vast plains, and visit a Maasai village.
Day 1: Arrival in Arusha and Transfer to Serengeti
Meet your driver at Kilimanjaro International Airport and begin the scenic transfer toward the Serengeti. Stop in Karatu for lunch and travel through the legendary Olduvai Gorge, known for its archaeological history.
Enter the Serengeti and enjoy a sunset game drive along the Sangore River Circuit near the Seronera River plains. Spot elephants, zebras, and big cats as daylight fades. Stay inside the park at a full-board campsite and fall asleep to the sounds of the African wilderness.
Day 2: Full Day Safari in Serengeti
After breakfast, explore the southern Serengeti’s wide savannahs and the Seronera Valley, home to leopards, gazelles, ostriches, flamingos, and cheetahs. Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic site in the middle of the park. Continue exploring new areas to witness massive herds of wildebeest, zebras, and other grazers, as well as predators on the hunt. Return to camp for dinner and rest under the star-filled sky.
Day 3: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
Wake up early for a sunrise game drive followed by breakfast. Continue eastward toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Drive down into the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera — home to elephants, rhinos, lions, and flamingos on the crater floor. After your game drive, travel to Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay at a comfortable lodge or hotel.
Day 4: Karatu to Arusha and Departure
After breakfast, visit a local Maasai village in Mto wa Mbu to learn about traditional culture. Drive back to Arusha and continue to Kilimanjaro Airport for your onward flight.
