Flight from Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park

Your safari adventure begins early with a 6:00 AM pick-up from your hotel in Zanzibar.

Game Drive in Serengeti then Drive to Ngorongoro Highlands

Your day begins with an early morning game drive in the Serengeti. Your driver-guide will collect you from the Four Seasons Safari Lodge at 7:30 AM, allowing you to experience the park during one of the most active times for wildlife viewing. Early mornings are ideal for spotting predators returning from their night hunts, as well as herds of grazers such as zebras and antelopes moving across the plains. After a rewarding morning on safari, you will set off in the afternoon on a scenic drive toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking landscapes as the terrain transitions from the vast Serengeti savannah to the lush, cooler highlands of Ngorongoro. Upon arrival, you will check into your accommodation near the Ngorongoro Crater, where you will spend the night in preparation for the following day’s adventure.

Your final safari day begins with an early start as your driver-guide collects you at 6:30 AM for a full game drive in the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. Often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” the crater is home to one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. As you descend into this unique, self-contained ecosystem, you’ll have excellent opportunities to spot the Big Five—lions, elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, and leopards—alongside zebras, wildebeests, hippos, and a wide variety of birdlife around the crater lake. Following an exceptional morning of wildlife viewing, you will enjoy lunch surrounded by the crater’s breathtaking scenery before beginning your drive to Arusha Airport.
