Program

Day 1 - Arusha to Central Serengeti

Your safari will begin by 08:00 in the morning with a pick up from the airport. With everyone aboard, you will head towards Serengeti National Park. The 240-kilometer drive will be covered in about six hours.

The Serengeti means endless plains in the local African language and watching the grassland stretch out as far as the eye can see, eventually merging with the sky at the horizon, which is an absolutely breathtaking view. With an overall land area of 14,763 sq kms, it puts your notion about distance to shame.

The Serengeti also houses the glorious “Big Five” (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard). Along with them, a very pleasant sighting would be one of Africa’s most beautiful animals, the impala. Additionally, the Serengeti ecosystem supports the greatest remaining concentration of plains game in Africa.

The legendary Serengeti National Park is the most renowned safari destination for its incredible population of lions and leopards. The central portion of the Serengeti, known as Seronera area, is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park.

It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.

In Seronera, one must really look out for the many lion prides that thrive in this region. You must also look out for the Serengeti “kopjes,” which are massive boulders of granite standing in a sea of grass. They provide ample shelter to a large variety of flora and fauna. A picnic lunch will be done during the day-long game drive itself.

The eventful day will come to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation at Serengeti Four Seasons Safari Lodge.

Day 2 - Central Serengeti to Ngorongoro

After breakfast, you will have a morning game drive in Serengeti National Park. Later, depart for Ngorongoro Conservation Area with picnic lunch. Ngorongoro Crater is the largest collapsed volcanic crater in the world and it is fourteen kilometers of isolated natural beauty.

Ngorongoro Crater is surrounded by a ring of extinct volcanoes, and the floor, dotted with watering holes, shelters some 30,000 animals. The eventful day will come to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation at Ngorongoro Lodge - Member of Melia Collections.

Day 3 - Ngorongoro Crater tour (five hours) to Arusha

On the last day of your safari, you will have an early start. Finishing up with a quick breakfast, you will make an early descent at around 06:30 into the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera.

It has a massive floor of about 260 square kilometers with a depth of over 2,000 feet. The five-hour game drive on the crater floor will show you a lot of animal action. Keeping the camera ready is definitely recommended.

The African elephant, buffalo, black rhino, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, and lions are found in plenty. Post the picnic lunch at the beautiful hippo pool, you will begin a steep ascend to the top exit of the crater. This is the last leg of your safari, with a four-hour drive left to Arusha.

You will be dropped off at your preferred location in Arusha by 18:00 in the evening. After an incredible experience and with loads of memories to cherish, this will be the time you bid goodbye to your team.
