After an early breakfast, set off for the world-famous Serengeti National Park. Your journey takes you through the lush highlands and misty rainforests of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you may spot baboons, Cape buffalo, or elephants hidden among the trees. You’ll arrive at the Serengeti gates after approximately four hours, with options to break up the drive with optional activities if you wish. After a picnic lunch inside the park, embark on your first game drive across the endless plains teeming with wildlife. Dinner and overnight stay will be inside the Serengeti, either in a lodge or tented camp according to your chosen accommodation.

After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive through the Serengeti, taking a different route to catch any animals you may have missed the day before from massive herds of wildebeest and zebras to giraffes, gazelles, and predators like cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and lions. Continue your journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you’ll spend the night at a lodge or camp on the crater rim or in nearby Karatu town.

After an early breakfast, descend into the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, often called the Eighth Wonder of the World. From the crater rim, take in breathtaking panoramic views before you drive down to the crater floor home to an incredible concentration of wildlife, including the endangered black rhino and large pods of hippos. Enjoy a picnic lunch by the famous hippo pool. In the afternoon, drive back to Arusha in time for your flight back to Zanzibar. Upon arrival, your driver will meet you at Zanzibar Airport and transfer you back to your hotel.
