Day 1

Arusha to Central Serengeti National Park

Arusha to Central Serengeti National Park

After pickup from your accommodation in Arusha, we will drive to Serengeti which is around 6-7 hours away from Arusha.
On the way, enjoy scenic views of Tanzania, hop off the vehicle to view Ngorongoro Crater, and experience the Serengeti plains.

Serengeti National Park is a World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife: over 2 million ungulates, 4000 lions, 1000 leopards, 550 cheetahs, and some 500 bird species inhabit an area close to 15,000 square kilometers in size.

Today, most visitors come here with one aim: to witness millions of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and elands on a mass trek to quench their thirst for water and eat fresh grass. During this great cyclical movement, these ungulates move around the ecosystem in a seasonal pattern, defined by rainfall and grass nutrients.

Lunch will be offered on the vehicle during the safari. Late in the afternoon, you will arrive at your designated lodge to rest, dine, and cherish the greatest moments you gathered during the safari.

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Day 2

Central Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater

Central Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater

This will be the full game drive day. After an early breakfast in your lodge in Serengeti, you resume from where you left the previous day.

During the day, our experienced safari guide will accompany you to do a game drive to watch and strive to find the Big Five animals in their natural habitat.

The magic of Serengeti National Park is not easy to describe in words. Not only seeing but also hearing the buzz of millions of wildebeest so thick in the air that it vibrates through your entire body is something you will try to describe to friends and family, before realizing it’s impossible. Vistas of honey-lit plains at sunset are so beautiful, that it’s worth the trip just to witness this.

Once you finish the game drive in the evening, you will transfer to Ngorongoro for dinner, relaxation, and an overnight stay.
