Upon landing at around 09:00 AM, your safari begins immediately as your professional guide welcomes you for your first game drive in one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife destinations. Covering nearly 14,763km², the Serengeti is famous for its vast open plains, exceptional predator sightings, and the Great Migration.

Day 3

Full Day at Serengeti National Park (Follow The Big Five)

Full Day at Serengeti National Park (Follow The Big Five)

Today begins with an early morning departure from camp at 06:00 AM sharp, the best time to experience the magic of Serengeti National Park at its most active. During the cool morning hours, predators are still on the move, big cats are often seen hunting or interacting, and the soft golden light creates exceptional photography conditions. With fewer vehicles in the bush, this is also the perfect moment to enjoy the Serengeti in a more exclusive and peaceful atmosphere. Your morning safari extends until around 11:30 AM and includes a memorable bush breakfast experience surrounded by the endless plains and wildlife sounds of Africa. After returning to camp for a hot lunch and short refresher, you will head out again at around 03:00 PM for another exciting game drive. As the temperatures cool once more, wildlife activity increases, creating fantastic opportunities for sightings before ending the day with a beautiful sundowner experience as the sun sets over the Serengeti plains.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

Today we recommend departing your camp latest at 07:00 AM to make the most of your time inside the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s greatest wildlife destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Descending over 600 meters into this ancient volcanic caldera feels like entering a natural wildlife sanctuary, home to one of the highest concentrations of animals in Africa. The crater offers excellent chances to spot lions, elephants, buffaloes, hyenas, hippos, flamingos, and the rare black rhino. Thanks to the permanent water sources and rich grazing grounds, wildlife viewing here is exceptional throughout the year. Enjoy a fantastic picnic lunch surrounded by breathtaking scenery on the crater floor before continuing your afternoon game drive. At around 05:00 PM, you will ascend the crater and head to your lodge, where beautiful gardens, spacious elegant rooms, attentive service, and a peaceful atmosphere offer the perfect setting to relax after an unforgettable safari day.
