Day 2
Serengeti National Park
After a delicious breakfast at your accommodation, you will begin your drive to Serengeti National Park, passing through the scenic highlands where the Iraqw people grow wheat, coffee, and corn. Along the way, you will pass through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Take a moment to snap some photos at the gate, then continue to the Ngorongoro Crater viewpoint. Here, you will stop to enjoy breathtaking views of the crater, with your safari guide providing insightful explanations. Continuing on, you will descend into the heart of wild Africa—the Serengeti National Park, famous for its vast, endless plains. Next, you’ll head to the central Seronera area, one of the park's richest wildlife habitats. This area is home to the Seronera River, a vital water source that attracts a wide variety of Serengeti species. You’ll arrive in time for lunch, either at Naabi Gate or as a bush lunch.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park
You will wake up early in the morning and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee before departing with a packed breakfast, ensuring you stay fueled during the game drive. This is the perfect time to witness hunting, as predators are most active during the early morning hours. You’ll head out of Central Serengeti towards the east, on the lookout for cheetahs, and many other animals. To avoid crowds of other safari vehicles, we will drive in a controlled area, giving you the chance to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the Serengeti. The game drive will continue until early afternoon. Afterward, you can either return to your accommodation for a hot lunch or enjoy a packed lunch in the wild. Following lunch, you’ll head back through the Serengeti to gather your belongings, then drive towards Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with an exciting game drive along the way. You’ll have the opportunity to spot more lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeests, gazelles, and hyenas as you go.

Day 4
Ngorongoro crater
After breakfast, your safari guide will drive you directly to the Ngorongoro Crater. You’ll descend more than 600 meters into the crater to experience its incredible wildlife. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area, supported by a year-round supply of water and vegetation, is home to a wide range of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffaloes, elks, warthogs, hippos, and massive African elephants. The area also has a high concentration of predators, such as lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopards. You will visit Lake Magadi, a large shallow alkaline lake located in the southwest corner of the crater, which is one of its main features. Here, you can typically see large numbers of flamingos, hippos, and other waterfowl. Following this, your safari guide will take you to Engutoku Tok for a brief stop at the hippo pool, allowing for a quick bathroom break. In the late afternoon, you’ll drive back to the lodge.

Day 5
Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, your tour begins with a drive to Tarangire National Park for a thrilling game drive, including a picnic lunch in the park. Tarangire is renowned for its large elephant population and iconic baobab trees. It plays a central role in an annual migratory cycle, with up to 3,000 elephants; 25,000 wildebeest; 30,000 zebras; as well as lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, ostriches, warthogs, and acacia savannah. Your safari guide will take you to less crowded areas, ensuring a more intimate experience. He will drive you closer to the Tarangire River, where animals gather to drink during the daytime. This is a prime spot for witnessing hunting, as predators often move through the river in search of prey. In the evening, your safari guide will drive you back to your accommodation in Arusha or direct to the airport, where the safari will come to an end.
