Ngorongoro's Natural Wonder and Serengeti Bound

After a sumptuous breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO-listed wonder often described as the Eighth Wonder of the World.

This vast volcanic caldera shelters an incredible density of wildlife, including rhinos, hippos, lions, hyenas, and massive buffalo herds. The crater floor is a haven for herbivores, drawing in predators for thrilling hunting scenes. Explore the Lerai Forest, home to elephants and leopards, and the Hippo Pool, where pods of hippos cool off in the water.

Following an unforgettable morning-to-afternoon game drive, continue the adventure with a scenic transfer through the Ngorongoro Highlands into the Central Serengeti. Along the way, witness the dramatic change in landscapes—from lush highlands to the boundless golden plains of the Serengeti.

The Serengeti, A Wildlife Spectacle

The Serengeti, A Wildlife Spectacle

Wake up to the sounds of nature, as the Serengeti stirs to life. After a hearty breakfast, embark on a full-day game drive, venturing deeper into the heart of the park.

This is big cat territory, where lions roam in prides, cheetahs sprint across the plains, and leopards silently stalk their prey. Depending on the season, witness the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the Serengeti in search of greener pastures—an awe-inspiring natural spectacle.

Explore the Seronera Valley, a prime wildlife area known for its year-round predator action, and stop by the iconic Kopjes (rocky outcrops) where lions love to lounge.

As the sun sets over the vast plains, return to Moyo Tented Camp, where you can enjoy a private sundowner, followed by a gourmet dinner under the stars, surrounded by the enchanting sounds of the African wilderness.

Day 4

Sunrise Safari and A Flight back to Zanzibar

Sunrise Safari and A Flight back to Zanzibar

Begin your final day with an early morning game drive, the best time to spot nocturnal predators like leopards retreating from the hunt and lions on the move before the midday heat.

The golden sunrise paints the Serengeti in a breathtaking glow, offering prime photography opportunities. Watch elephants gathering near watering holes, giraffes elegantly strolling, and hyenas scavenging the remnants of the night’s hunts.

After a leisurely breakfast at camp, bid farewell to the Serengeti as you transfer to the Seronera Airstrip. Here, board your late morning or early afternoon flight to Zanzibar via Arusha, bringing your unforgettable safari to a spectacular close.

As you soar above the Tanzanian wilderness, relive the moments of awe, adventure, and wildlife encounters that made this safari truly extraordinary.
