Activities Included

You will be picked up from your accommodation in Arusha bright and early and begin the journey to the Serengeti National Park. As the drive from Arusha is lasting a few hours, we will eat our lunch on the way to the park or just before entering. Once we have arrived at the park, we will continue with an afternoon game drive. This park covers an area of 14,763sq km, and the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai language and means “endless plains”. The Serengeti is host to one of nature’s most magnificent phenomena, The Great Migration. Over a million wildebeests make a 600-mile pilgrimage through crocodile-infested water on the annual exodus north. Returning to the South to replenish the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8000 calves daily before the pilgrimage begins again. Depending on the season and the location of the migratory animals, our game-drive will take us to various parts of the Serengeti. After the game-drive and watching the beautiful sunset over the plains, we will continue to the Serengeti Osupuko Tented Camp, where you will overnight and enjoy your dinner.

Today you'll enjoy another day of wildlife viewing from a second location deep in the Serengeti. Home to hundreds of thousands of hoofed animals, the Serengeti is a pristine and unique sanctuary that will give you a glimpse into “the world as it was in the beginning”. Relish the vastness of the Serengeti commonly known as “the land that flows on forever”, along with some of the best animal viewing that Africa has to offer. In the afternoon, after another wonderful day of extraordinary wildlife experiences, we will continue our journey towards the Ngorongoro Crater, where we will overnight and enjoy dinner in the crater rim at Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge.

Today, you will visit the Ngorongoro Crater, the main feature of which is a large, unbroken, unfolded volcanic caldera. The crater, which formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some two to three million years ago, is mostly open grassland with two small wooded areas dominated by Acacia xanthophloea. Game drives through the Ngorongoro Crater will begin early in the morning, in safari vehicles with pop-up roofs. The descent into the crater a scenic beauty, as you make your way through lush forests, home to numerous elephants and buffaloes. As you reach the inside of the crater, marveling at the incredible landscape around you. Your guide will take you through the grassy crater floor, the unbelievable fever tree forest, the banks of Lake Magadi and the surrounding marshes. Lunch is served picnic style, surrounded by the natural wonders around you as well as the exceptional wildlife, roaming freely, with which you share this extraordinary paradise. After the picnic lunch, you will return to Arusha where you will be dropped off at your accommodation.
