Arusha to Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, you’ll set off from Arusha toward the world-famous Serengeti National Park. Though the drive is long, the journey itself is breathtaking. You'll ascend through the Crater Highlands and pause briefly at the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater for a truly unforgettable view an awe-inspiring sight, especially for first-time visitors.

As you venture deeper into the Serengeti, it becomes clear why its name translates to "endless plains" in the local language. Spanning 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometers), the vast open landscapes stretch endlessly toward the horizon, challenging your sense of distance and scale. This iconic park is home to the Great Migration, where around 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and a wide variety of antelope species including impalas and Thomson’s gazelles move across the land.
