Day 2
After an early breakfast at your hotel in Arusha, you’ll depart for a scenic drive westward through the Great Rift Valley toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As you ascend into the Ngorongoro Highlands, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of rolling green hills, volcanic landscapes, and traditional Maasai villages. By afternoon, you’ll descend into the southern Serengeti’s Ndutu area, renowned for hosting the Great Migration during the calving season. Along the way, enjoy a short game drive with the chance to spot wildebeest herds, zebras, gazelles, and predators like cheetahs, hyenas, and jackals. You’ll arrive at your lodge or tented camp in time for dinner and a briefing about the next day’s safari adventure. Mid-range tented camp located inside Ndutu (Southern Serengeti NP) All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
Day 3
After an early breakfast, embark on a full-day game drive across the Ndutu region, the heart of the Southern Serengeti and a prime location for witnessing the wildebeest calving season. During this remarkable time, more than 500,000 calves are born within just a few weeks, drawing intense predator activity from lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and jackals. The day offers incredible wildlife encounters and exceptional photographic opportunities, from dramatic predator-prey scenes to serene moments of life beginning on the plains. Depending on the day's conditions, you’ll either enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush or return to camp for a midday rest. As the sun sets over the acacia-dotted savannah, return to your lodge or tented camp for a relaxing dinner and an evening of storytelling by the campfire.

Day 4
Begin your final safari day with an optional early morning game drive in Ndutu, a prime time to watch predators like lions and hyenas returning from their hunts and witness the herds awakening in the soft dawn light. Return to your lodge or camp for breakfast, then set out from Ndutu toward the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Descend to the crater floor for an unforgettable game drive, spotting the Big Five—black rhinos, lions, elephants, buffalos, and leopards, alongside flamingos, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, and other remarkable wildlife. Around midday, enjoy a scenic picnic lunch within or near the crater, surrounded by its dramatic landscapes. In the afternoon, ascend from the crater and drive back to Arusha through the highlands, arriving by late afternoon or early evening for drop-off at your hotel or the airport, marking the end of your safari adventure.

5.0/5Fantastic tour through Tanzania, which was put together by Mwanne in consultation with us. There were never too many questions and they were answered quickly and competently by her. After landing at Arusha Airport we met our guide and driver Malley, who drove us around and informed us the whole trip well and competently. He did more than his best to offer us an unforgettable trip. From a Cheetha with cubs, more than 200 lions with cubs and as a highlight the leopard with cubs in a tree with prey......Of course a lot of other animals, zebras, elephants, giraffe, wildebeests etc. But our favorite was the balloon ride over the Serengeti with the bush breakfast.... All in all an unforgettable trip !!!!!

We had the most incredible 4-day safari in the Serengeti this June, guided by the amazing John! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great eye for spotting wildlife. We stayed at Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge — stunning views, excellent service, and very comfortable tents. The absolute highlight was witnessing a lion hunt at sunrise — a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Every detail of the trip was seamless, and John made it truly memorable. Highly recommend!

Our luxury safari with Oldbeast Vacations was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we were picked up to the final drop-off, every detail was carefully arranged to provide comfort, excitement, and unforgettable memories. We visited both Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, and the experience was beyond anything we imagined. The wildlife sightings were incredible—lions, elephants, leopards, zebras, cheetahs, and even a black rhino in Ngorongoro! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He made every game drive informative and exciting, and he had a real passion for wildlife. The accommodations were truly luxury—beautiful lodges and tented camps with stunning views, gourmet meals, and exceptional service. After long days of game drives, coming back to a hot shower, comfortable bed, and a drink by the fire under the stars was simply magical. Oldbeast Vacations exceeded all expectations. They provided seamless service, great communication from the start, and personalized touches throughout the journey. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a high-end safari that combines adventure with true comfort.
