The route passes through the lush highlands, with small villages and farmlands along the way. There are opportunities to observe rural Tanzanian life, enjoy wide-open landscapes and flexible stops for photos and possible wildlife sightings.

Day 2
Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
After an early breakfast, you continue with a short game drive before heading to Ngorongoro Crater. A game drive in Serengeti National Park is a memorable wildlife experience that takes you into one of Africa’s most iconic ecosystems. With open plains, acacia-dotted savannahs, and rich wildlife diversity, the Serengeti offers excellent opportunities to see the Big Five — lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino — along with cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and wildebeest.
Game drives are usually done in the early morning and late afternoon, when animals are most active. Guided by an experienced driver, you explore different areas of the park in a 4x4 vehicle, following tracks and water sources in search of wildlife. Each game drive brings something new, from a pride of lions on the move to herds of wildebeest grazing on the plains.
After lunch, you begin the drive from the Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater. On arrival in the evening, you have dinner and spend the night on the crater rim.

Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater and Return to Arusha
Ngorongoro Crater and Return to Arusha
A game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most unique and rewarding safari experiences in Africa. Often called the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, spanning about 260km² / 100mi² and enclosed by steep, forested walls.
After descending nearly 600m / 1,970ft to the crater floor, you find yourself in a self-contained wildlife haven. The mix of habitats — grassy plains, swamps, forests and a soda lake — supports an exceptional concentration of animals, making wildlife sightings highly likely.
After a picnic lunch near the hippo pool, you ascend the crater rim and continue to Arusha Airport, where the tour ends.
