2 travelers on Start dateArusha to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, we will head towards the Serengeti National Park via the beautiful, high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we will descend into the heart of wild Africa—the Serengeti National Park—with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We will head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species. We will arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Dinner and your overnight stay are at a public campsite.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
We recommend an early morning start with breakfast at 6:30 am, followed by an exhilarating early morning game drive to witness active wildlife and stunning sunrise views. Later, depart for the Ngorongoro Area, where the crater resembles a forgotten world.
Ngorongoro Crater is among the world's most breathtaking wildlife havens. It offers panoramic views of steep volcanic walls, pristine savannah, acacia woodlands, open plains, and glistening streams. Here, you can witness a concentration of flamingos and encounter the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, leopard), providing an excellent opportunity for wildlife sightings. Keep an eye out for majestic cats in the branches of sausage trees along the Seronera River banks. Finally, we'll head to Ngorongoro Simba Campsite for dinner and overnight stay.

After an early breakfast at daybreak, you will drive down into the crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken caldera and has unbelievable wildlife diversity.

Within a couple of hours, you can often observe the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard). Later, you will drive to Mto Wa Mbuu for overnight at fig tree lodge.
