Your safari guide will meet you for pickup at the airport or accommodation, and you'll begin your journey toward the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. Along the way, you'll pass through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where the road winds along the rim of the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, offering breathtaking panoramic views of this ancient volcanic caldera.
As you continue your drive, you’ll descend into the vast open plains of the Serengeti, a name that means “endless plains” in the Maasai language. This iconic park is one of the most celebrated wildlife sanctuaries on Earth, famous for its role in the Great Migration and as home to the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino.
Upon arrival at the Serengeti gate, enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush before beginning your first thrilling game drive inside the park. Keep your camera ready as you navigate through golden grasslands teeming with wildlife—herds of wildebeest and zebras, graceful giraffes, basking hippos, and predators on the prowl.
By late afternoon, you’ll make your way to your safari-style accommodation, nestled in the heart of the Serengeti, just in time to freshen up and enjoy a delicious dinner under the stars.

Awaken to the soft light of dawn and, for those seeking an extraordinary adventure, set off on an optional hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti (advance booking required, additional cost). Soar above the golden plains as the sun rises, casting long shadows over herds of wildebeest, antelope, and perhaps even a pride of lions beginning their day.
After returning from the balloon experience—or following a more leisurely morning—you’ll enjoy a hearty breakfast at camp before heading out for a final morning game drive through the Serengeti. This is another opportunity to spot wildlife you may have missed, with the ever-changing landscape revealing new surprises at every turn.
In the afternoon, begin your drive southeast toward the Ngorongoro Highlands, passing through the rich and fertile lands of the conservation area. The scenery transitions from dry grasslands to lush green hills, Maasai villages, and terraced farmland.
by early evening, where cool highland air and serene surroundings offer a perfect contrast to the wild Serengeti. Settle into your lodge, enjoy a freshly prepared dinner, and relax after an exciting day on the road.

Rise early and set out for an unforgettable journey into the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." This vast, unbroken caldera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to a remarkable concentration of wildlife including lions, elephants, hyenas, hippos, flamingos, and even the rare black rhino.
As you descend 600 meters into the crater, you’ll be immersed in a wildlife sanctuary like no other—an amphitheater of nature where the drama of the African savannah unfolds before your eyes. Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic spot near a hippo pool, then continue your game drive, taking in the breathtaking scenery and wildlife until mid-afternoon.
After your crater adventure, begin your transfer back to Arusha, with time to freshen up if needed, before heading to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your scheduled flight.
