Day 1

Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park

Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park

Say "baadaye" to the beach and "jambo" to the wild side! We're trading turquoise waters for endless golden plains, because today, we're flying to the Serengeti!

Touchdown at Seronera Airstrip, where your awesome safari guide will be waiting with a grin and a 4x4 ready to rumble!

Now, hold onto your hats because we're diving headfirst into a full-day game drive! The Serengeti is like a real-life Animal Planet marathon, with lions roaring, cheetahs sprinting, and hippos chilling in muddy pools.

If you're lucky, you might even witness the Great Migration – a mind-blowing spectacle of millions of wildebeest and zebras thundering across the plains.

But wait, there's more! The Serengeti is also home to some seriously cool creatures like giraffes, crocodiles, and even the rare oribi antelope.

As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues, we'll head back to camp for a delicious dinner and a well-deserved rest.

Main Destination:
Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Day 2

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

Okay, team! It's time to ditch the comfy blankets and trade those sleepy yawns for some jaw-dropping wildlife action! We're off to catch the Serengeti's morning show while we transfer game to Ngorongoro Crater! Picture a giant bowl overflowing with zebras, lions, and maybe even a grumpy rhino or two.

lunchtime? Forget boring sandwiches! We're having a picnic with a view... a hippo pool view, that is! Just try not to get splashed. 😉

With bellies full and cameras loaded, we'll continue our animal hunt. Who knows what surprises await? A leopard lounging in a tree? A family of elephants having a mud bath? Get ready for some serious "aww" moments!

Escarpment Lodge: Where the Views are Wilder Than Your Wildest Dreams!

Perched on the edge of great rift Valley, this lodge is like a front-row seat to the greatest show on Earth. Think breathtaking panoramas, comfy beds, and maybe even a chance to spot a giraffe while brushing your teeth! (Okay, maybe not, but a traveler can dream, right?).

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
High Season Most of the year – July to March (Expect crowds)
