Day 1

Safari Begins – Into the Wild Serengeti

Safari Begins – Into the Wild Serengeti

Your adventure begins with a special treat: enjoy a complimentary early morning hot-air balloon ride followed by a bush breakfast, before driving toward the iconic Serengeti National Park, famed for its vast open plains and incredible wildlife. Depending on the season, you may witness the breathtaking Great Migration of wildebeest, zebras, and Thomson’s gazelles as they search for fresh grazing.

During the short rains (October–November), the herds move from Kenya’s Masai Mara into the southern Serengeti, creating unforgettable wildlife spectacles.

After the long rains (April–June), they return north through the western corridor. Your expert Bavuma guide will track the movements to ensure the best game viewing possible. Along the way, you might spot lions stalking prey, elephants under acacia trees, or even a dramatic predator hunt.

By sunset, you’ll arrive at Serengeti Explorer by Elewana where you’ll enjoy a hearty dinner and settle into your High-end tented lodge under the stars.

Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Highlands

Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Highlands

Rise early for a magical start to the day with an optional hot air balloon safari (available on request). Soar above the golden plains of the Serengeti as the sun rises, spotting wildlife from a breathtaking new perspective. After landing, enjoy a champagne bush breakfast before rejoining your guide.

Later in the morning, continue your game drive through the Serengeti. Lions are often seen lounging near a fresh kill, cheetahs roam the open plains, and leopards relax in the trees along the Seronera River. The park teems with wildlife year-round from massive buffalo herds and elephant families to elegant giraffes and countless antelope species.

After lunch, begin your scenic journey to the Ngorongoro Highlands. As you approach the crater rim, a dramatic panoramic view unfolds a true natural masterpiece.

Settle in for dinner and overnight at the peaceful Manyara's Secret Lodge.

Into the Cradle of Life – Ngorongoro Crater to Hotel in Arusha or Arport

Wake to the aroma of fresh coffee and the crisp highland air as you descend into the legendary Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater teeming with life. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers one of the highest wildlife densities in Africa, making it possible to witness an incredible range of species in a single day.

The crater floor hosts over 25,000 animals, including wildebeest, zebras, elands, gazelles, elephants, and the rare black rhino. Predators like lions and hyenas are commonly seen roaming the open plains.

For bird lovers, over 500 species await from ostriches and Kori bastards to secretary birds and vibrant migratory flocks between November and April. You’ll also witness the unique coexistence of culture and nature, with Maasai herders grazing cattle alongside wild game. After a picnic lunch en route, you’ll drive back to Arusha, filled with unforgettable memories.
