Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater - Recognized as one of the Natural Wonders of the World, Ngorongoro Crater spans 102 square miles with walls reaching 2,000 feet high, creating a natural sanctuary for nearly every species of wildlife native to East Africa. It is one of the few places on the continent where the black rhino can be observed. The crater boasts the highest concentration of African wildlife, featuring a river, several swamps, a soda lake teeming with flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It is also famous for its elephants, which are the largest in the world with enormous tusks, thanks to the mineral-rich volcanic soil and grasses. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a marvel of the natural world.

Serengeti National Park (Central)

Serengeti National Park - After an early breakfast, set off for the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. As you journey deeper into the Serengeti, you’ll understand why its name means “endless plains” in the local language. Covering 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometers), the plains stretch to the horizon, challenging your senses and perception of distance. It is the site of the Great Migration, home to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and various antelopes, including the plentiful impalas and Thomson’s gazelles. For big cats and large predators, it’s the ideal place to spot lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many iconic scenes like the famous river crossings filmed here. Smaller animals such as foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, rock hyraxes, and African hares, along with over 500 bird species, also inhabit this park.

After the game drive, return to camp for a satisfying brunch before heading to the airstrip for your flight back to Arusha or your next exciting destination, such as Zanzibar. Alternatively, you may choose to relax at the camp instead of the early morning game drive.

If desired, the tour can be adjusted to exclude the flight from Serengeti, with the itinerary redesigned to conclude at Ngorongoro, completing the journey by 4WD.

This exceptional tour focuses primarily on the Serengeti, providing the opportunity to observe the remarkable phenomena known as the Great Migration. You’ll get to spend a minimum of 4 nights in the park, typically dividing your time equally between the Central Area (home to the highest concentration of big cats) and the area where the Migration unfolds, dictated by the season (South, North, or West).

This unique tour has been planned to conclude your safari in the most secluded part of the Serengeti, allowing you to depart directly from there to your subsequent destination (like Arusha or Zanzibar). However, should you prefer not to fly, we can modify your itinerary to enable travel by land, thus excluding the flight expense.
