Serengeti National Park features some of Tanzania's most diverse nature. Here you will witness the Great Migration, which involves more than 2.5 million wildebeests, gazelle, zebras, and antelopes traveling between the Masai Mara and Serengeti ecosystems. It is also home to Africa's "Big Five." You can visit the park throughout the year.

Central Serengeti to Karatu Town

Have the half in Serengeti and then after lunch, drive to Karatu for overnight.

There are several documented resident lion prides just within a one-hour game drive radius from Seronera. During the dry season, the resident prides begin to shift west and north in their territories and concentrate in the central region of the park. The dry season is a particularly good time for lion viewing in Central Serengeti. The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River.

Today after breakfast, descend into the crater for a crater game tour.
After lunch, drive back to Arusha and proceed to Kilimanjaro Airport for your flight to Zanzibar. On arrival at Zanzibar, you will be met and transferred to your Hotel for your overnight stay on a bed and breakfast basis.

Often called the eighth Natural Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago, the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo-filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals.
