Itinerary

Day 1: Arusha to Serengeti National Park

Your safari begins with a pickup from your hotel in Arusha, followed by a scenic drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Along the way, stop at a viewpoint overlooking the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can take in the impressive landscape of the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. An optional visit to a Maasai village offers insight into local traditions and culture.

Continue to Serengeti National Park, arriving in time for an afternoon game drive across the plains, where wildlife sightings may include lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and more.

Accommodation: Land of Nature Camp
Meals: Lunch, Dinner


Day 2: Serengeti to Ngorongoro

After an early breakfast, head out for a morning game drive in the Serengeti, one of the best times to observe wildlife activity. Predators are often active, while herbivores graze across the plains in cooler conditions.

Return to camp for a late breakfast and early lunch, then depart the Serengeti with a game drive en route toward the Ngorongoro highlands. Enjoy scenic views and additional wildlife sightings along the way.

Arrive in the evening and settle into your lodge near the crater.

Accommodation: Farm of Dreams Lodge
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner


Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive. The crater floor supports a dense concentration of wildlife, making sightings frequent and rewarding.

You may encounter lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and with some luck, the endangered black rhino. The enclosed ecosystem provides one of the most accessible wildlife experiences in Africa.

After a picnic lunch, ascend to the crater rim and return to Arusha. Airport transfer can be arranged upon request.
