Day 1

Arusha to Serengeti National Park

Arusha to Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, our driver/guide will drive you from your hotel in Arusha to Serengeti National Park.
The drive is approximately 6 - 7 hours.

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.

Main Destination:
Serengeti National Park
Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
High Season July to March (The Seronera area is crowded)
Best Weather June to October (Little to no rainfall)

Day 2

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

After a relaxing morning and an early lunch, you will proceed to Ngorongoro. Our professional and experienced driver will guide you through Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater and explain en route the wildlife and natural beauty of Tanzania.

Day 3

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

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.

Afterwards, you will proceed to Arusha which will take 3 hours for drop-off at the Budget Lodge at Arusha Tourist Inn Hotel.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
High Season Most of the year – July to March (Expect crowds)
Best Weather June to October (Rainfall is little to none)

Day 4

Materuni waterfalls

Materuni waterfalls

Today, you will get the chance of refreshing by having a soft hike (45 minutes) after long hours of staying in the car for a few days.

The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck, you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro. When you reach the waterfalls, you will see that they are more than 80 meters high.

After having enjoyed the scenery, you'll slowly return with your guide to Materuni village where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. You also will have the opportunity to taste our local banana beer – not to be missed!

The coffee tour is traditionally accompanied by Chagga songs and dances – a fun way to immerse yourself in the local culture. Here you will learn how coffee is cultivated, dried, roasted, and further processed. You will also be invited to help with the grinding of the coffee.

In the late afternoon, you will be taken to your hotel or the airport, which will conclude your safari.
