Day 1

Flight from Zanzibar to Serengeti & Game Drive in Central Serengeti

The day begins at 6:00am (pick-up time depends on your hotel's location in Zanzibar), when our driver will transfer you to the airport for your 8:00am flight to the Serengeti. You will arrive at Seronera Airstrip at 10:40am, where your driver-guide will be waiting to welcome you. From here, you will start your first game drive. At midday, you will stop for lunch at a scenic picnic site inside the park before continuing with your afternoon game drive until evening. Later, you will head to your camp for dinner and an overnight stay. The Serengeti, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Tanzania, covers approximately 15,000km² (5,800mi²). It is home to more than 2 million herbivores, 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 550 cheetahs and around 500 bird species. During the Dry season, vast herds of migratory wildebeest and zebra dominate the landscape. The northern Serengeti also supports rich resident wildlife, including elephants, hippos, giraffes, crocodiles and the rare oribi antelope.

Day 2

Ngorongoro Crater & Return to Zanzibar

After an early breakfast, you will depart from your accommodation at 6:00am and drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The journey takes about three hours, arriving at the Ngorongoro gate in time to begin your full-day crater tour. You will enjoy a picnic lunch during the game drive before continuing to explore in the afternoon. Later, you will drive to Arusha Airport for your 4:30pm flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival at 5:30pm, our driver will meet you and transfer you to your hotel. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its natural beauty and cultural significance. Once you descend into the crater, you will have an excellent chance to spot the Big Five (lion, buffalo, elephant, leopard and black rhino). You may also see flocks of flamingos at the crater lakes, along with a range of other bird species. The crater's unique ecosystem makes it possible to see an extraordinary variety of wildlife in a short space of time!
