Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Arusha To Serengeti National Park ( Central)
Location: Serengeti National Park
Accommodation: Camp
Accommodation Name: Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp
Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner
After breakfast, depart for Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. Then heart to the central park area, known as 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. Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti national park, where you might see elephants, lions, hippos, giraffes, and buffaloes to mention a few. Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Heritage Tanted Camp.
Day 2 : Exploring The Serengeti Nation Park
Location: Serengeti National Park
Accommodation: Camp
Accommodation Name: Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
We have the full day to explore the Serengeti taking a packed lunch with us so that we can make the most of our game viewing. The area is a spectacular location for wildlife particularly the big cats with multiple lions prides in the area. Cheetah and Leopard are regularly spotted in the area along with the variety of more common Savannah games. Even when the great wildebeest migration is not around the central part game viewing is great throughout the year, apart from the big cats the area is also home to giraffe, hippos, elephants, impala, buffalos, and a good number of birds spices which can make your day busy as you are trying to look for that elusive leopard.
In the early evening, we return to camp to enjoy the sunset.
Day 3 : Serengeti National Park To Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Location: Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Accommodation: Lodge
Accommodation Name: Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
After breakfast leave the camp, and explore the Namiri plains for its great sightings of cheetahs while also looking for the big prides of lions found in this area. It’s one place in Serengeti where if you are lucky you might see cheetah hunting. Other sightings here might be jackals, hyenas and Kori bustard. Stop under the acacia tree and enjoy your mouth-watering lunch before crossing to the Ngorongoro conservation. Visit the Maasai village and head to the Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge for Dinner and overnight.
Day 4 : Ngorongoro Crater Tour To Arusha
Location: Ngorongoro Crater
Accommodation Name: No Accomodation
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
After an early breakfast, You will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually been seen here. Late afternoon transfer back to Arusha.
