Early Morning you will take your flight from Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park (Seronera Airstrip), Upon your early morning arrival at Seronera airstrip, your private driver-guide will pick you up and you can start your safari in Serengeti National Park.
The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands, which offer excellent wildlife sightings. The Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest National Park and one of the oldest ecosystems on Earth. Its climate and vegetation have remained largely untouched for millions of years. Whilst the Serengeti boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual Great Migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest; accompanied by large numbers of zebra and antelope move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The precise timing of the Migration is entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year

- Day 3 - Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, you will drive straight to Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend the crater which is almost 600m deep.
When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The Crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago. The drive down into the Crater is an adventure in itself and when you reach the Crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. The Crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhinos, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.
After Lunch and an extensive game drive inside the crater, we head for our partner lodges in Karatu for dinner and overnight.
Main Destination: Ngorongoro Crater
Accommodation: Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge

Early in the morning after breakfast, we depart for Tarangire National Park, a remarkable wilderness named after the Tarangire River, the lifeline of the park and the only reliable water source for wildlife during the dry season, often referred to as the “river of warthogs.” The park’s landscape varies from dense elephant grass and acacia woodlands to lush groundwater forests, creating a rich habitat for diverse wildlife. Tarangire is especially famous for its large elephant families, frequently seen gathering along the riverbanks, as well as giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest, which are closely shadowed by predators such as lions and elusive leopards. It is also a paradise for bird enthusiasts, hosting more breeding bird species than any other park in the world. After lunch and an extensive game drive, we return to Arusha Airport for your flight back to Zanzibar, marking the conclusion of your safari adventure.
