Day 1

Zanzibar - Serengeti National Park

Zanzibar - Serengeti National Park

You'll fly from Zanzibar Airport at 7:35 am and arrive in Serengeti at 10:50 am.
On arrival at Seronera Airstrip, you'll meet your professional and well-experienced local English-speaking safari driver-guide.
After greetings, he will give you a short pre-safari briefing and then embark on a game drive in Serengeti National Park for a chance to see the great herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles or a pride of lions lounging in the shade. The Serengeti, one of the largest parks in Africa at 15,000 sq km, is home to some three million large mammals and is made up of a diversity of landscapes with the southern region being dominated by the lush grassy plains that draw about two million wildebeest, half a million zebra and some quarter million antelope to make the hazardous journey in search of pasture when the autumn rains come.
Lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay will be at Four Seasons Safari Lodge - Horizon Water Hole View Room.

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

Game Drives in Serengeti National Park

Game Drives in Serengeti National Park

The great migration (also referred to as the "Serengeti migration") is arguably the greatest wildlife show on earth. It is the largest single movement of wildlife on earth in search of water, pasture, and breeding grounds. Other than the great migrating herds you seek, you may also see cheetahs, lions, leopards, buffalos, elephants, wildebeest, hartebeests, topi, elands, crocs, Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelles, among many others. With over five hundred bird species identified, the park is a veritable ornithological paradise, ostrich abound, secretary bird, marabou stork, and the largest flighted bird on Earth, the kori bustard. You will seek out these creatures with the keen intuition and experience of our "wild guide" and, with the day drawing to a close, you will wend your way to your lodge to unwind, dine, and relax by the fire under the endless East African sky.
Your meals and overnight stay will be at Four Seasons Safari Lodge - Horizon Water Hole View Room.

Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater

Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you will drive to the Ngorongoro.
After lunch, you will embark on an afternoon crater tour.
You'll descend 2000 feet (over 600 meters) to the floor of the crater (more precisely a caldera). This 304 square kilometer enclosed ecosphere was formed some two or three million years ago in the massive explosion of a volcano once higher than Kilimanjaro and offers the best wildlife viewing opportunities.
You'll explore the forest areas inhabited by monkeys and elephants, the lake area, where you may see flamingos, and the open savannah where the lions hunt for food. With some 25,000 large mammals within the caldera, you will have the opportunity to see, in addition to the Big Five (elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, and leopard), animals such as wildebeest, gazelles, reedbucks, bushbucks, hartebeests, hippos, antelopes, both Grant’s and Thompson’s gazelles, impalas, as well as over 500 bird species.
Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Ngorongoro Lodge Melia Collection.
