Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 – Arusha to Serengeti National Park
Your safari adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your accommodation in Arusha between 6:00 AM and 6:45 AM . The journey takes you through the scenic Great Rift Valley and the lush Ngorongoro Highlands, with a brief stop at Mto wa Mbu to experience local culture and sample fresh produce .
After a picnic lunch en route, you'll arrive at Naabi Hill Gate—the gateway to the legendary Serengeti National Park . Your first afternoon game drive across the endless plains offers opportunities to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeests, and other iconic African wildlife .
As the sun sets over the Serengeti, you'll head to your accommodation where dinner awaits beneath the African sky .
Meals:Â Lunch, Dinner |Â Overnight:Â Serengeti (camp or lodge, depending on selection)
Day 2 – Full Day in Serengeti National Park
Wake early for a spectacular sunrise game drive—the best time to witness predators in action and wildlife at its most active . After returning to camp for breakfast, you'll set out for a full day exploring the vast Serengeti ecosystem.
Search for the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) while encountering large herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles. The Serengeti is also home to cheetahs, hyenas, and an incredible variety of birdlife .
A picnic lunch is enjoyed at one of the park's scenic picnic sites before continuing your afternoon game drive through different wildlife-rich areas .
For travelers who have booked the optional Hot Air Balloon Safari, this unforgettable experience takes place early in the morning, followed by a champagne bush breakfast before rejoining the safari .
Meals:Â Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner |Â Overnight:Â Serengeti
Day 3 – Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater & Return to Arusha
After an early breakfast, you'll depart Serengeti and travel toward the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater. Descend approximately 600 meters into this UNESCO World Heritage Site, often referred to as "Africa's Eden" .
Enjoy a memorable game drive across the crater floor, home to one of Africa's highest concentrations of wildlife. The crater supports approximately 30,000 animals including black rhinos, lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, hippos, hyenas, and thousands of flamingos . With a little luck, you'll complete your Big Five sightings before enjoying a scenic picnic lunch inside the crater .
In the afternoon, ascend the crater walls and begin your return journey to Arusha, arriving between 5:30 PM and 6:30 PMÂ .
Meals:Â Breakfast, Lunch
