Itinerary

Your adventure begins in Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania's Northern Safari Circuit. After a warm welcome from your Serengeti Wildlife Safaris guide, you'll drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its massive elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and rich concentration of wildlife. Enjoy a thrilling afternoon game drive, spotting lions, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, and over 500 bird species.
As the sun sets, head to Ngedere Budget Lodge, offering comfortable accommodations and serene surroundings perfect for relaxing after your first day in the African bush.

After an early breakfast, travel to the legendary Serengeti National Park, home to the Great Wildebeest Migration and one of the top safari destinations in Africa. En route, enjoy scenic landscapes, Maasai villages, and glimpses of wildlife along the way.
Upon entering the park, embark on a full-day game drive across the vast savannahs of central Serengeti, a region teeming with predators including lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Spot grazing herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, and enjoy expert insights from your guide about the Serengeti’s complex ecosystem.
In the evening, unwind at Seronera Campsite, surrounded by nature’s symphony under a starlit sky.

Wake up early for another full day of wildlife viewing in Serengeti National Park. This is your chance to witness Africa's most iconic animals in their natural habitat. From powerful lion prides to solitary leopards in acacia trees, and large herds of elephants crossing the plains, the Serengeti never disappoints.
Your guide will maximize the chance of spotting the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and if lucky, the elusive black rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the wild before continuing your adventure. Return to Seronera Campsite for dinner and overnight rest.

After a final sunrise game drive in Serengeti, head toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, known for its breathtaking views and unique volcanic landscapes. Enjoy game sightings en route, with the possibility of spotting hippos, warthogs, jackals, and more.
Arrive at the Ngorongoro Crater rim, and check in at Simba Campsite. Settle in for the night with panoramic views and a warm dinner, as you prepare for the highlight of your safari – a descent into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera.

Today is the grand finale of your Tanzania safari adventure. After breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as Africa’s Eden. This natural sanctuary is home to an extraordinary density of wildlife, including endangered black rhinos, lions, elephants, buffalo, flamingos, and hippos.
Explore the crater floor on a full-day game drive with a packed lunch by the hippo pool. Capture unforgettable moments and witness nature at its best in one of the most photogenic landscapes in Africa. In the afternoon, return to Arusha to conclude your trip or continue to your next destination.
