Serengeti National Park
Leaving Tarangire behind, you venture into the Serengeti National Park, one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. The Serengeti’s endless plains stretch as far as the eye can see, dotted with acacia trees and punctuated by rocky outcrops, providing the perfect habitat for an abundance of wildlife. Spend 2 full days here, embarking on game drives that reveal the park’s rich biodiversity. The Serengeti is renowned for its Big Five sightings - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros - alongside cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and countless other species. Witnessing the great migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing grounds, is a highlight not to be missed if timed right. Enjoy spectacular sunsets over the Serengeti and evenings filled with the sounds of the African bush as you relax in your safari camp under the starlit sky.

Ngorongoro Crater
Your final day of adventure begins with an early morning game drive in the Serengeti, allowing you to witness the park’s wildlife at its most active. After breakfast at your lodge or campsite, you will depart for the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World” due to its stunning beauty and unparalleled biodiversity. Descending into the crater floor, which was formed millions of years ago by the collapse of a large volcanic cone, you will be surrounded by walls that rise nearly 2,000 feet.
After a morning of wildlife viewing and photography, you will enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic spot within the crater, soaking in the breathtaking views of this natural wonder. In the afternoon, you will begin your ascent out of the crater and make your way back to Arusha. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport for your onward journey, marking the end of your unforgettable Tanzanian safari experience.
