5 Days Serengeti Safari and Ngorongoro Crater

Day 1: Arrive Arusha

Arrive Kilimanjaro International Airport, meet and greet with our driver guide then transfer to Arusha town for dinner and overnight At Arusha Serena Hotel.

Day 2: Serengeti National Park

Early breakfast at the lodge, depart towards the world most famous National park “The Serengeti”. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in local language, “endless plains”. The park has 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home to the Great Migration which involves over 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes. As for Big Cats and large predators, it’s the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings having been filmed in this park. Evening drive to Serengeti Serena Lodge where you will overnight.

Day 3: Serengeti National Park

Today you may opt to go for a hot air balloon or continue with the game drive. Game viewing on balloon is so spectacular and you can have more chance to spot the animals which you couldn’t see while on game drive. After landing you will go for the bush breakfast and after breakfast you will drive back to the lodge for short rest and lunch. Afternoon proceed with the game drive searching for the herds of the migrations and the big cats. During the migration season it is so often to spot predators chasing and killing their prey. In the late afternoon drive back to the Serengeti Serena lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 4: Serengeti to Ngorongoro

On this day we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you’ll ever witness. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then we’ll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2.000 ft high walls, making it virtually a Noah’s ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It’s one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the black Rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains. It’s also famous for its elephants which, are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World. Arrive Ngorongoro in time for sundowner. Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater

We will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on Earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful hippo pool. After lunch, we will have time for a short game drive and then ascend the crater and exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Arusha. We expect to be back in Arusha around 5pm then proceed to Kilimanjaro international airport for your onward flight back home or to Zanzibar.
