Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park - Day 2: Karatu to Serengeti National Park
Following an early breakfast, depart for Serengeti National Park, passing through the village and ascending the Ngorongoro highlands. A quick stop at a crater viewpoint is optional.
Continue the scenic drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking landscapes—rolling hills, volcanic craters, and wildlife crossing your path. Optionally, visit Olduvai Gorge, a renowned archaeological site (additional cost).
Arrive in the Serengeti by early afternoon and embark on your first game drive in this iconic park, celebrated for its vast plains and the Great Migration. The central region (Seronera) is teeming with wildlife year-round—expect to see lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalos, and large herds of herbivores.
Reach your camp before sunset. Relax, savor dinner, and immerse yourself in the sounds of the wild under a starry sky.
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Conservation Area - Itinerary:
Rise early for a sunrise game drive—the prime time to observe predators in action. The golden morning light offers one of Africa’s best photographic opportunities.
Return to camp for breakfast, then enjoy another short game drive as you exit the Serengeti. As you travel back through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, consider stopping at a Maasai boma (village) to learn about traditional Maasai life (optional, entrance fee may apply).
Arrive at your lodge in the late afternoon. If staying on the Crater rim, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Have dinner and overnight in the cooler highland climate.
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha Town
Arusha - After an early breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater—a natural amphitheater and one of Africa’s premier safari destinations. The Crater is home to nearly all of East Africa’s big game, including the Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and the endangered black rhino.
Enjoy a half-day crater game drive, observing animals on the crater floor’s grasslands, lakes, and forested areas. Look out for hippos, hyenas, jackals, ostriches, and more. A picnic lunch will be served at a scenic crater site, likely near the hippo pool.
In the early afternoon, ascend the Crater and begin your return drive to Kilimanjaro International Airport, arriving in the late afternoon or early evening, in time for your onward flight.
