Your safari begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha. After meeting your guide and a short briefing, you’ll begin the scenic drive toward Serengeti National Park, passing through the lush highlands and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Enjoy stunning landscapes and the chance to spot wildlife even before reaching the park.
You’ll stop for a packed lunch near the Serengeti gate, where you can stretch and prepare for your first exciting game drive. The Serengeti is famous for its endless savannah and incredible wildlife. In the afternoon, you’ll explore its rich ecosystem, searching for lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and possibly even a cheetah or leopard.
As the day comes to a close, you’ll head to your public campsite inside the park. Enjoy a freshly prepared dinner, share stories by the campfire, and fall asleep under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

After breakfast, enjoy a morning game drive in the Serengeti, exploring more of the vast plains and wildlife. After the drive, head to the Serengeti Gate for a relaxing lunch. Following lunch, begin the scenic journey to the Ngorongoro Highlands. Along the way, you’ll pass through changing landscapes, from open savannah to lush highlands, with opportunities to spot wildlife.

In the late afternoon, arrive at your campsite situated on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. This unique location offers breathtaking panoramic views of the crater floor, one of Africa’s most famous natural wonders. Take time to unwind and absorb the stunning surroundings as the sun sets.

Dinner will be served at the campsite, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful evening under the African stars before a restful night.

After an early breakfast, you’ll descend for the Ngorongoro Crater, home to the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera.

Descending 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, you’ll enter a unique ecosystem teeming with wildlife. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the best places to spot the rare black rhinos, alongside lions, leopards, elephants, and hippos. The crater’s lakes and swamps also attract large flocks of flamingos, geese, storks, and other bird species.

Lunch will be enjoyed at a scenic picnic site by Ngoitoktok Swamp, where hippos wallow in the water. After an unforgettable day in the crater, you’ll begin your journey back to Arusha and will be dropped off at your accommodation in Arusha or at the airport.

Accommodation after the tour can be arranged upon request for an additional cost. Transfers to Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha are also available. Extend your adventure with a Zanzibar beach holiday for the perfect end to your trip.
