Day 1: Arusha to Central Serengeti

After breakfast at your hotel in Arusha, depart for the Serengeti National Park, driving through the scenic highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As you enter the Serengeti, the vast plains spread out before you, teeming with wildlife. Enjoy an afternoon game drive through the Central Serengeti, known for its rich wildlife year-round, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and more.

Day 2: Full Day in Serengeti National Park

​

Today is dedicated to exploring the Serengeti. Begin with an early morning game drive when predators are most active. The Serengeti is renowned for its large predator population and the diverse herbivore species that roam its plains. You’ll have a full day of game drives, allowing plenty of opportunities to witness the “circle of life” in action. Look out for lions on the prowl, leopards resting in trees, and large herds of herbivores grazing the open plains.

After breakfast and a final morning game drive in the Serengeti, you’ll depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

You may opt to visit a traditional Maasai village en route to learn about the unique Maasai culture and lifestyle.

The crater’s diverse ecosystem is home to an abundance of wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo). You’ll likely encounter large herds of buffalo and elephants, as well as hippos wallowing in the crater lakes and flamingos lining the shores.
