Day 1
Arusha to Serengeti National Park
Arusha to Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, you will depart from Arusha to the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. You will drive up the crater highlands, making a quick stop at the rim for an out-of-this-world view of Ngorongoro Crater. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time.
As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the great migration and 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes including the abundant impalas and Thomson's gazelles. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas.

Day 2
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
We recommend waking up very early to catch an exciting morning game drive when the animals are most active and to witness an unforgettable sunrise.
After the game drive, head back to camp for a satisfying brunch before continuing to Ngorongoro, known as the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. The crater spans 102 square miles and boasts towering walls 2,000 feet high, creating a natural Noah's ark housing a diverse array of East African wildlife. It's a rare spot where you can spot black rhinos, and the concentration of African wildlife here is unparalleled on the continent. The crater features a river, swamps, a soda lake teeming with flamingos, forests, and open plains. It's renowned for its large elephants with massive tusks, attributed to the nutrient-rich volcanic soil and grasses in the area.
