Our meals are traveler-friendly and range from omnivorous to vegetarian options.

After a full day in Tarangire, our safari program will continue to Serengeti National Park, expanding your experience and insight into nature and wildlife. If you are a nature lover, an enthusiast, or a fan of the Big Five, the Serengeti offers all these opportunities. From your safari vehicle, you will enjoy breathtaking views and close sightings of wildlife right from your seat.

Serengeti is an ideal destination for memorable photos with animals—however, this must be done from inside the vehicle. For safety reasons, stepping out of the car is not recommended. Please follow all park regulations and listen to the instructions of your guide. One of the most important rules is to avoid making loud noises or exiting the vehicle, as this may disturb or provoke wild animals.

By this day of your excursion, I’m sure you will already be excited, having experienced so much along the way and captured plenty of photos to fill your gallery. After breakfast at the hotel, we will set off to explore the horizon of the majestic Ngorongoro Crater.

Ngorongoro Crater is recognized as one of the world’s top natural wonders, with fascinating stories about its formation, cultural heritage, and indigenous communities.

You will also learn about Dr. Louis Leakey, a key figure in the history of Ngorongoro, who pioneered research in human evolution and discovered important human fossils, including Homo habilis and Paranthropus boisei.
