Ngorongoro & Serengeti Explorer (private)

Day 1 Arusha  
Upon arrival transfer to your hotel.  

Day 2 Arusha to Karatu  
Depart for the highlands close to the Ngorongoro Crater, arriving at your lodge in the Karatu district in time for lunch. The afternoon is at leisure to unwind. Alternatively, you might like to add an experience or drive via Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive with a picnic lunch en route – speak to your travel consultant for details.  

Day 3 Ngorongoro Crater  
Drive to the Ngorongoro Crater and descend through the early morning mists into spectacular landscapes for a full day game drive. Formed millions of years ago when a huge volcano collapsed in on itself, the Ngorongoro Crater boasts one of the densest animal populations in East Africa. Return to your lodge late afternoon.    

Day 4 Karatu to Serengeti NP  
Head to the Serengeti National Park with game viewing en route. Arrive at your camp for lunch followed by an afternoon game drive. The vast plains of the Serengeti boast a staggering amount of game and plenty of opportunities to spot the Big 5 – elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo.  

Day 5 Serengeti NP  
Spend today exploring the endless plains of the Serengeti on morning and afternoon game drives. You can choose to replace today’s morning game drive with a sunrise hot air balloon safari, followed by a bush breakfast with sparkling wine – the ultimate way to view wildlife in Africa.  

Day 6 Serengeti NP to Arusha  
Take a light aircraft flight back to Arusha in time for lunch. It’s also possible to fly from the Serengeti to Zanzibar – ask your travel consultant for details.
