DAY 1 : ARUSHA TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
You'll be picked up in the morning from Arusha and driven to the Serengeti National Park. We'll stop so you can get your first glimpse of the Ngorongoro Crater. Your first game drive in the Serengeti will take place in the late afternoon and where you'll experience the famous Serengeti sunset. As night falls, we might get lucky to find a predator hunting or on a kill. We'll then head to Seronera Campsite/ Lodge for the night.
Meals: lunch, dinner
DAY 2 : SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK TO NGORONGORO CRATER
A full day with morning and afternoon game drives to explore the plains of the famous Serengeti National Park. Serengeti actually means “endless plains” in Swahili. The Serengeti covers an area of 14,763 square kilometres and watching the grassland stretching out as far as the eye can see and eventually merging with the sky at the horizon is absolutely breathtaking. After lunch at a picnic site, we'll visit the Ngorongoro Crater and overnight on the crater’s edge and enjoy the fantastic view as the sun goes down.
Meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner
DAY 3 : NGORONGORO CRATER TO ARUSHA
After an early breakfast, descend 600 metres by 4WD into the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as Africa's Eden and the world's largest intact volcanic caldera. Home to around 30,000 animals, the crater offers outstanding wildlife viewing, including black rhino, lion, leopard, elephant, cheetah, wildebeest, zebra, ostrich, flamingos and vultures. Enjoy lunch at the Ngoitokitok Hippo Pool before a final game drive and the ascent from the crater. Afterwards, return to Arusha, arriving at your hotel at approximately 18:00, where you will bid farewell to your safari team.
