Serengeti National Park

Start your day with an early morning breakfast, fueling up for another exciting adventure.

Your driver will be ready to take you on a scenic journey to the renowned Serengeti National Park, with a game drive en route. We’ll be on the lookout for lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as other fascinating wildlife. Along the way, you might be amazed by the large numbers of hippos gathered in the park’s pools or charmed by the acrobatic antics of vervet monkeys and baboons.

Giraffes will elegantly stride across the plains, towering above the landscape as they nibble on acacia leaves, completely unfazed by the thorny branches. You’ll witness the dramatic vultures overhead, and perhaps catch a glimpse of hyenas fiercely defending their prey from lions.

By the end of the afternoon, we’ll return to camp, where you can relax with a sundowner before enjoying a well-earned dinner. It’s sure to be a day filled with unforgettable sights and experiences!

Ngorongoro game drive then Arusha

After an early breakfast, your driver will take you to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater.

As the world’s largest intact caldera, the Crater offers breathtaking views from the rim before you begin your descent. The journey down to the crater floor is a scenic adventure in itself. Ngorongoro is home to the famous “Big Five,” and during your exploration, you'll likely encounter a wide array of wildlife. Lions can often be seen seeking shade, sometimes even under the shadow of passing vehicles. The abundance of wildlife, combined with the dramatic crater walls, creates an awe-inspiring experience that you won’t soon forget.

By late afternoon, your driver will transfer you back to your accommodation in Arusha City or to the airport, marking the end of your unforgettable journey. This has been an adventure filled with memories to cherish for a lifetime.

In Kiswahili, we say Kwa Heri (goodbye) and Karibuni Tena (welcome again).
