Day 1

Arusha To Southern Serengeti (Ndutu)

Arusha To Southern Serengeti (Ndutu)

Your safari begins early in the morning as you depart Arusha and travel through the scenic highlands toward the world-famous Ndutu region of Southern Serengeti. As you approach the plains, the landscape opens into an impressive panorama of rolling grasslands, acacia woodlands, and shimmering lakes an ecosystem uniquely suited for the annual calving season of the Great Migration.

Once inside the Ndutu conservation area, your first game drive introduces you to the sheer abundance of wildlife. During the calving season, thousands of wildebeest carpet the plains, accompanied by zebras, gazelles, and a host of predators including lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and even elusive leopards. The air is filled with dramatic interactions newborn calves taking their first steps, predators quietly positioning themselves, and vast herds moving rhythmically across the landscape.

As the sun sets, retreat to your midrange lodge. Enjoy a warm welcome, a hearty dinner, and the peaceful of the African bush.

Day 3

Ngorongoro Crater Then Back To Arusha

Ngorongoro Crater Then Back To Arusha

After an early breakfast, you leave the calving grounds behind and climb toward the breathtaking Ngorongoro highlands. Soon, you arrive at the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world’s most iconic wildlife destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the rim, the views are spectacular—lush forests, open grasslands, shimmering lakes, and an almost surreal natural beauty stretching across the 600-meter-deep volcanic caldera.

Descend into the crater for a half-day game drive through an ecosystem teeming with wildlife. The crater floor is home to:

The endangered black rhino

Some of the highest concentrations of lions in Africa

Herds of buffalo, wildebeest, and zebras

Hippos wallowing in freshwater pools

Elephants, hyenas, serval cats, and more

Enjoy lunch at a scenic picnic site near the hippo pool, then ascend the crater walls and begin your journey back to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon with memories of one of the most thrilling short safaris in Tanzania.
