Day 2

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Fuel up with a delicious breakfast, then set out with Bavuma Wild Quest on a scenic drive to one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife havens—Serengeti National Park. This vast, untamed land stretches endlessly, where golden grasslands meet open skies, and the rhythm of the wild unfolds.

In the Seronera region, the heart of the Serengeti, the adventure deepens. The area pulses with life from stealthy predators to the thunderous hooves of the Great Migration. Your Bavuma Wild Quest guide will expertly track down iconic sightings, perhaps a pride of lions in the shade, a cheetah on the prowl, or elephants crossing the plains.

Each moment reveals a new story, every landscape a postcard. After a day of unforgettable exploration, you'll return to the lodge for a relaxing evening, a delicious dinner, and a peaceful overnight stay—Bavuma style.

Day 4

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha Airport or JRO Airport

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha Airport or JRO Airport

On your final day, you will travel to Ngorongoro and descend into the legendary Ngorongoro Crater for a memorable game drive. Often called the Eighth Wonder of the World, this remarkable site is the largest intact volcanic caldera on Earth, formed over two million years ago when a massive volcano collapsed inward, creating a vast basin 19 kilometers wide and surrounded by towering walls rising 600 meters high.

Within the crater lies an extraordinary range of habitats, from acacia woodlands and lush swamps inhabited by hippos to open grasslands teeming with wildlife. The crater is home to more than 30,000 animals, offering excellent chances to see elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, diverse birdlife, rare black rhinos, and all of Africa’s big cats.

After your game drive and picnic lunch, you will ascend the crater and transfer to Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport in time for your scheduled flight back to Nairobi, marking the end of your unforgettable safari experience.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater (Tanzania)
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
