Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will depart for Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Leaving the highlands behind, you 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.

Then, you'll 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, therefore, attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.

You'll arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park.
Your dinner and an overnight stay will be in the Seronera Area, at Nyani campsite.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife.

Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeests, zebras, buffalos, elands, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants.

Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopards, which sometimes require a trained eye to spot.

You will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here.

Later in the afternoon, you will be transferred to Arusha for dinner and an overnight stay or airport drop-off.
