Day 1: Moshi to Serengeti National Park
You will leave Moshi early morning and travel to Serengeti National Park. Then, you will travel to Serengeti on a road near the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, allowing for animal sightings along the way. The golden savannah and endless plains, teeming with zebras, wildebeests, and giraffes make it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa.
On this day, you will enjoy a picnic lunch on Naabai Kopje (a small, rocky hill in a generally flat area) where you will have the opportunity to view the Serengeti’s famous pink-headed lizards. After lunch, you will proceed further into the plains for a leisurely game drive. You will spend the night at the Serengeti Camp and fall asleep to the playful calls of the zebras and hyenas. As with guaranteed with each tour, guests will be provided with comprehensive camping facilities.
Day 2: Serengeti National Park
You will begin the day in heart of the Serengeti. The animals found in the Serengeti are extremely diverse so visitors will likely enjoy views of lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, water buffalos, zebras, and wildebeests. In addition, elands, hyenas, gazelles, crocodiles, giraffe, zebras, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos, and antelopes are all found within the park. Don’t worry about the time of year of your safari, because there are animals within the Serengeti all year round. After the game drive, a delectable dinner will be served at the campsite in Seronera.
Day 3: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
In the morning, you will depart to Ngorongoro Crater where you will spend the day and enjoy the day marks - the last day of game drive in Serengeti before you will make your way to Ngorongoro Crater. After an exciting game drive full of animal sightings and a picnic lunch, you will drive to the Crater. Tonight, you will stay at Simba Camp, overlooking the unbroken caldera of Ngorongoro Crater. The views of the sunset over the savannah are absolutely breathtaking. After a long day of adventuring, you will enjoy a tasty dinner prepared by the friendly cook.
Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
After an early morning breakfast, you will hurry to Ngorongoro Crater as it is the best time to spot animals. On this day, you will enjoy a game drive around the crater and stop for a picnic lunch at a small lake within the park. The lake is home to many hippos and migratory birds so guests will be sure to enjoy the visit. Due to the animal “oasis” created within the crater, there is a high possibility of spotting every member of the “Big Five”. The group comprises some of the strongest animals in Africa - the ferocious lions, the giant elephants, the stealthy leopards, the charging rhinos, and the mighty water buffalos.
Within the amazing crater, you can expect to view the playful zebras, lumbering hippos, swift wildebeests, and cackling hyenas. In addition, there are flocks of graceful flamingos along the Soda Lake while hungry hawks and vultures circle the sky in search their next meal of discarded carcass. Beautiful storks, ibis, and cranes are popular waterbirds in the crater, a sight not to miss. After a lovely afternoon of animal sightings, you will finally start your journey back to Moshi.
Note: The departure time is two hours before the flight time.
