After breakfast, we will head towards the Serengeti National Park. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa — the Serengeti — with its endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and, therefore, attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti's species. We enjoy a game drive en route to the lodge.

Take a break in the middle of the day for a picnic lunch, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the wild. In the afternoon, visit the renowned hippo pools, go on quests for elusive black rhinos, and potentially witness segments of the great migration, depending on the season. As the day winds down, enjoy a late afternoon game drive to capture the Serengeti's beauty during the golden hour, culminating in a mesmerizing sunset. Throughout the day, your experienced guide will enhance the experience by sharing insights into the animals and ensuring a respectful and secure safari adventure.

It is home to the expansive and volcanic Ngorongoro Crater and the Big Five (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhino). Large herds of wildebeest and zebras migrate across its plains annually. Additionally, livestock belonging to the semi-nomadic Maasai tribe can be seen grazing alongside wild animals. Hominin fossils found in the Olduvai Gorge date back millions of years.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After the safari, we will transfer you either to your hotel in Arusha or directly to the airport, depending on your preference. We expect to return around 5:00 pm, but we remain flexible to accommodate any unforeseen circumstances.
