Day 3

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater Floor

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater Floor

Wake up to the sounds of the Serengeti and set out on an early morning game drive across the golden plains. The cool morning hours can be particularly rewarding for wildlife viewing, as predators are often still active and the soft light brings the landscape to life. Enjoy one final exploration of the Serengeti before continuing towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Your journey takes you through the highlands before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. Its enclosed ecosystem supports an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including large herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, and gazelle, alongside lions, hyenas, elephants, and the elusive black rhinoceros.

Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor, surrounded by dramatic walls and abundant wildlife. After further exploration, you will ascend the crater rim and continue to Escarpment Luxury Lodge, where a fine dinner, panoramic surroundings, and a restful night await.

Ngorongoro Crater

Day 4

Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

On your final day, you will explore Lake Manyara National Park, an emerald-green haven nestled beneath the Great Rift Valley escarpment. The park is known for its lush groundwater forests, large troops of baboons, elephants, and the possibility of spotting its famous tree-climbing lions. Along the lakeshore, keep an eye out for colourful birdlife and seasonal gatherings of flamingos.

Your morning game drive will take you through the forest, open plains, and lakeside habitats, offering a final opportunity to enjoy Tanzania’s remarkable wildlife and scenery. A delicious picnic lunch will be served within the park, allowing you to pause and savour your last moments in the bush.

After your game drive, you will leave Lake Manyara and continue to your chosen drop-off point in Arusha or Kilimanjaro International Airport, marking the end of your safari. We hope your journey with Serengeti Steppe leaves you with wonderful memories of Tanzania and its extraordinary wilderness.
