Begin your 3 day joining safari with a warm welcome from your guide, who will meet you for pickup at the airport or your accommodation. Your journey starts 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, known for 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 starting your first thrilling game drive. Keep your camera ready as you explore golden grasslands filled with herds of wildebeest and zebras, towering giraffes, basking hippos, and predators on the prowl.

By late afternoon, you’ll head to your safari-style accommodation, located in the heart of the Serengeti, where you can relax and enjoy a delicious dinner under the stars. This 3 day joining safari is designed to give you an unforgettable glimpse into Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife and landscapes, even with limited time.

Your 3 day joining safari continues at the break of dawn. Awaken to the soft morning light and, for those seeking an extraordinary experience, set off on an optional hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti National Park (booking required, additional cost). Glide above the golden plains as the sun rises, casting long shadows across herds of wildebeest, antelope, and perhaps even a pride of lions beginning their day.

After the balloon safari—or a more relaxed morning—you’ll return to camp for a hearty breakfast. Then, embark on a final morning game drive across the vast Serengeti. This is your chance to catch a glimpse of any animals you may have missed, as the landscape continues to unveil incredible wildlife around every bend.

In the afternoon, begin your journey southeast toward the lush Ngorongoro Highlands, passing through the rich Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As you travel, watch the scenery change from dry savannah to green hills, dotted with Maasai villages and terraced farmland—a beautiful cultural and geographical transition.

By early evening, you’ll arrive at your highland lodge, where the crisp air and tranquil surroundings offer the perfect contrast to the wild plains. Unwind, enjoy a freshly prepared dinner, and reflect on the day’s adventures.

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.
