TRAVEL INFORMATION

  

ITINERARY

In the early morning, at 6:00 AM (pick-up time varies based on your hotel’s location in Zanzibar), our driver will pick you up and take you to the airport for an 8:00 AM flight from Zanzibar to Central Serengeti (Seronera airstrip). Upon your arrival at 10:40 AM, you will meet our driver guide to begin your game drive.

The Central Serengeti is well-known for its abundant wildlife, especially the Big Five. It is home to one of the largest populations of lions in Africa, with over 3,000 in this area. The elusive African leopard is often spotted in the Seronera region, where there’s also a population of around 1,000 African elephants.

Lunch: A packed lunch will be enjoyed at a picnic site inside the park (all days)
Dinner: Will be served at the lodge from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM
End of game drive: Evening 5:00 PM (approx 6 hours game drive).

Accommodation: Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge

Meal Basis: Lunch and Dinner

Get up early to have breakfast before heading out for a game drive transfer to Ngorongoro Crater. The drive might take around 2 hours, but along the way, we’ll make some stops for spotting animals.

The main attraction of Ngorongoro is its deep, volcanic crater, the world’s largest unflooded and unbroken caldera. It’s about 20 kilometers across, 600 meters deep, and covers 300 square kilometers – an awe-inspiring natural wonder. We’ll explore Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, famous for its black rhinos, flamingos, hippos, and other waterbirds.

You’ll enjoy a full-day game drive in the crater. In the evening, we’ll drive back to the lodge for dinner and to spend the night. Today, we recommend leaving early so you can take advantage of the lodge facilities, including the swimming pool and more.

The game drive will end at 4:00 PM. We will then drive to your lodge, which is 45 minutes from the Ngorongoro gate.

Accommodation: Escarpment Luxury Lodge
Meal Basis: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Rise and shine with a delicious breakfast at 7:00 AM, as today marks the end of our safari. We will depart for Tarangire National Park for a game drive until the afternoon.

Tarangire National Park is well known for its biodiversity, including large elephant herds. It consists of a diversity of landscapes, from seasonal swamps to savanna, with the Tarangire River winding its way through the parklands. You may see a lion stalking his prey or leopards watching whilst relaxing in the trees above.

Later in the afternoon (after lunch, which will be served at the picnic site inside the park), drive to Arusha Airport for your flight back to Zanzibar at 4:30 PM. Upon arrival at Zanzibar Airport (5:45 PM), our driver will transfer you to your hotel for dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.
