Arusha/JRO Airport – Central Serengeti

Your adventure begins as our driver guide picks you up from Arusha or directly from Kilimanjaro Airport and sets off toward the world-renowned Serengeti. After checking in at Naabi Hill Gate, you'll enter the Central Serengeti—home to the iconic Seronera Valley. Enjoy an afternoon game drive through wide-open savannahs dotted with acacias, where lions, elephants, giraffes, and even elusive leopards roam freely. As the sun sets over the plains, you’ll arrive at your camp for dinner and a peaceful night surrounded by nature.

Central Serengeti is the beating heart of the park and a prime location for predator sightings. It's also a key corridor of the Great Migration, drawing huge herds and their followers year-round.

Northern Serengeti – Great Migration & Mara River Crossings (day 2& 3)

After breakfast, journey north toward the Mara River, where the Great Migration reaches its most dramatic moment. Over the next two days, you'll track massive herds of wildebeest and zebras as they gather on the riverbanks, preparing to cross crocodile-filled waters. These thrilling scenes offer some of the most heart-pounding wildlife encounters in Africa.

Expect action-packed game drives across rolling hills, open plains, and riverine forests. You'll also have a chance to witness predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs lying in wait—or stalking their prey.

Northern Serengeti is quieter and more remote, offering spectacular views and unparalleled access to Mara River crossings during peak migration season.

Central Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha/JRO Airport

On your final day, set out early for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend 600 meters into the world’s largest intact caldera—home to some of the densest concentrations of wildlife in Africa.

Inside the Crater, you’ll likely spot all members of the Big Five, including endangered black rhinos grazing on the open plains. After a rewarding game drive and picnic lunch, you’ll head back to Arusha or be dropped off directly at Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward journey. (Late evening departures are recommended.)

Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is often called Africa’s Garden of Eden for its unique ecosystem and breathtaking beauty.
