2 travelers on Start dateArusha to Serengeti
After breakfast, depart for Serengeti National Park via the beautiful, high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we 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 head to the central park area, known as the Seronera Area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring 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. Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park.

After an early breakfast, we will go on an early game drive to see many animals until the afternoon, when we will head to the camp for lunch and pack up. While on a game drive, we exit the Serengeti and head to Rhino lodge (a 2-hour drive), which is near the rim of Ngorongoro Crater.

Ngorongoro crater to zanzibar
Non–game viewing time: 3 to 4 hours.
After breakfast, we will descend over 600m (2,000ft) into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a wide variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalos, eland, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque area is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large, shallow, alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. Many hippos, flamingos, and other water birds are usually seen here. Late afternoon, we transfer you to Arusha and drop you off at a preferred hotel or at the airport to fly back to zanzibar.
