From City Life to Safari Life; Arusha to Ndutu
From City Life to Safari Life; Arusha to Ndutu
Early the morning from the lodge/hotel you will get short safari briefing, you’ll begin your journey to Ndutu with a packed lunch for the road. The drive takes about 5.5 hours (around 260 km), and after about two hours, you’ll enter the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, watch the landscape change—from forested hills to wide-open grasslands.
As you travel deeper, the plains stretch endlessly and slowly blend into the Serengeti. This area is part of the famous route for over 2 million migrating wildebeest, along with thousands of zebras, gazelles, and antelopes.
Between December and April, the plains come alive as the wildebeest give birth, turning Ndutu into a nursery full of newborns—and a hunting ground for predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. The area is also home to six species of big cats, making game drives here especially exciting. With lakes like Ndutu and Masek nearby, wildlife is easy to spot even during the dry season.

After breakfast, you’ll head out for a morning game drive in the Ndutu area, exploring the rich plains teeming with wildlife. Around midday, enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.
In the afternoon, you'll begin the journey toward the Ngorongoro Crater rim, a scenic 2.5-hour drive covering about 75 km. Along the way, you may spot animals still roaming the plains as you gradually climb into the cooler highlands.
Ngorongoro is not only one of Africa’s most breath taking landscapes but also a haven for wildlife, often called a “natural wonder” for good reason. The day ends with a warm dinner and a peaceful night’s rest at your lodge near the crater rim, getting you ready for an exciting descent into the crater the next day.

Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
On your final safari day, you'll get an early start with a light breakfast before descending into the famous Ngorongoro Crater around 6:30 a.m. Known as the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, the crater floor stretches over 260 square kilometers and is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife.
During your 5 to 6-hour game drive, you’ll have a great chance to spot animals like elephants, buffalo, black rhinos, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, and lions. It’s a photographer’s dream, so keep your camera ready!
After a scenic picnic lunch near the hippo pool, you’ll begin the steep climb back up to the crater rim. From there, it’s time to make your way back to Arusha—a drive of about four hours. You’ll arrive in the evening, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or transferred to the airport, marking the end of an unforgettable safari experience.
