On this private safari you will visit two of the most famous national parks in northern Tanzania. We will take you into the vastness of the Serengeti and accompany you down into the Ngorongoro Crater, which is about 600 meters deep. Enjoy the unforgettable experience of a game drive in the bush where you will look out for elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo and rhinos – the Big Five

Day 1 Arrival in Arusha and drive to Karatu

In the morning we will meet and greet you at Kilimanjaro Airport. Over a short stopover and morning coffee near the airport, we will discuss your travel plans with you and answer your questions. Afterwards, your personal safari guide will take you along well-maintained roads through Maasai territory and a number of small villages to your first accommodation in Karatu.

Day 2: From Karatu to Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater is a volcanic caldera inhabited by over 30,000 large species of wildlife. It is home to the rare black rhinos, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, serval cats, zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, hippos, buffaloes, elephants, monkeys and bird species such as crowned cranes, eagles, pelicans and flamingos. Nowhere in Africa is the probability of getting the Big Five in front of the lens greater than here

After enjoying your early morning tea or coffee, we set off on a half-day game drive on the crater floor. Afterwards, the journey continues to the Serengeti National Park. There you will reach your accommodation in the early evening.

Day 3: Serengeti

Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s most famous national park, with endless plains and an abundance of fauna and flora. The grasslands of the Serengeti are home to predators such as cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, and lions, while along the rivers is the territory of hippos, crocodiles, and leopards. Large herds of elephants, buffalo, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles and impala populate the landscape, following a constant cycle in mile-long herds in search of food during the Great Migration.

This morning you enjoyed a breathtaking sunrise in the Serengeti. Today we have planned as the highlight of your safari, it is all about wildlife observation until the evening.
