Fly to Northern Serengeti – Into the Wild
After breakfast, transfer to Arusha Airport for your scheduled flight to Kogatende in the Northern Serengeti (approximately 1.5 hours). From above, admire views of the Great Rift Valley and endless savannah. Upon landing, your All Wheels safari guide will greet you and begin your first game drive. This is prime territory for witnessing the legendary Mara River crossings, as thousands of wildebeest and zebras brave crocodile-infested waters. The guide will provide lunch for everyone, allowing you to spend more time experiencing the Northern Serengeti before heading to your carefully selected camp.
On your way to camp, there are chances of seeing predator actions in the evening, which would be the greatest moment of the safari with All Wheels Experience.

Along the way, you’ll also encounter resident wildlife like lions, leopards, elephants, and hippos. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush or return to camp to recharge.
Optional extras include sunrise hot-air balloon safaris (extra cost, advance booking needed).

Stop for a picnic lunch and continue your game drive in this rich ecosystem before checking into your mid-range lodge or camp in the heart of the Serengeti.
Spend your evening watching animals roam the nearby plains while you enjoy dinner and a well-earned rest. Upon arrival at your carefully selected tented camp, you will have time to rest and enjoy a hot shower before dinner.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater – Overnight in Karatu
After breakfast, depart Central Serengeti and begin your journey southward to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (approximately 2.5 hours game drive). This is not a large park that requires a lot of time during the day to explore; rather, it is a small collection of animals that would take you about 5 to 6 hours to explore in its entirety. Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural wonder teeming with wildlife—elephants, lions, hippos, hyenas, and possibly the endangered black rhino.
Enjoy a picnic lunch by the hippo pool and spend several hours exploring the crater floor before ascending and continuing to your lodge in Karatu (approximately 1 hour). Set in the forested highlands, your lodge offers tranquility and comfort, along with views of the Great Rift Valley. Relax with a drink by the fireplace and reflect on the day’s sightings over a farm-to-table dinner.

Lake Manyara Game Drive & Departure
Begin your final safari day with an early morning drive to Lake Manyara National Park (approximately 45 min). This compact but diverse park is home to tree-climbing lions, huge troops of baboons, elephants, and flocks of flamingos along the lake. Enjoy a slow, scenic game drive through forest, acacia woodland, and open plains, with great birdwatching and photo opportunities.
After the game drive and a farewell lunch, transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport (approximately 3 hours) for your departure. If your flight is later, we can arrange a day room or a cultural stop on the way. Asante sana from All Wheels Experience—we hope to host you again soon!
