Day 1

Airport/Arusha - Serengeti National Park

Pick you up from the Airport or hotel and drive to Serengeti National Park. This transit drive is approximately 5 hours. Although the Serengeti is home to a wide variety of animals, including hippo, buffalo, crocodiles, and impala, it is most known for its massive migratory herds of antelope (half a million), wildebeest (one and a half million), and zebras (two hundred and fifty thousand). Rainfall determines the animals' journey, which changes every year. In addition to the migratory herds, we might witness lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
  • Luxury lodge located inside Central Serengeti NP
  • Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included)
  • Non-alcoholic drinks

Day 3

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive - Arusha/ Arusha Airport

Get up early in the morning and enjoy breakfast and after breakfast, then descend inside the Ngorongoro crater for game drive for wildlife sighting while carrying lunch boxes. Once we finish the game drive we will transfer you to the Arusha or Airport where safari ends. This Park appears to be a lost world when you first arrive to Ngorongoro Crater. There is a beautiful environment with shimmering lakes and wetlands, patches of acacia woodland, and broad savannah hidden behind the sheer volcanic walls. The Crater was formed two to three million years ago when a massive volcano exploded and fell in on itself. The Crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.
  • Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included)
  • Non-alcoholic drinks
