This safari will take you to the world’s most popular destinations, Ngorongoro Crater is often called Africa’s Eden and the 8th Natural Wonder of the World.

Day 1: Arusha

You will be picked up at the airport and transferred to the Green Mountain Hotel.

Day 2: Arusha – Serengeti National Park (Safari Day 1)

The name Serengeti originates from the Masai word Siringitu and means endless plains. You will see why the Masai gave this region this name as the grassland savannah stretches to the horizon in the South and is only interrupted by the so-called kopjes, These kopjes are bizarre rock formations formed by the weathering of granite outcrops.

The plains are the perfect hunting grounds for leopards and other big cats; you will have a good chance to view these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat through the open roof of the vehicle. In the afternoon, you will reach the destination for the day, the Seronera Valley in the central Serengeti area. You will camp for the night and stay in safari-styled tents enjoying a good meal in the middle of the African bush.

Day 3: Serengeti to Ngorongoro (Safari Day 2)

After breakfast, you will continue the game drive through the Serengeti National Park. You will sight hundreds of wildebeests and zebras and often lions and other big cats such as leopards and cheetahs in the Seronera Valley. After lunch at a picnic site, you will drive in the direction of the Ngorongoro Crater.

As soon as you have reached the edge of the crater, the caldera opens up before you and you will have a remarkable view of this impressive natural wonder. You will camp for the night on the crater’s edge and enjoy the fantastic view as the sun goes down.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater then back to Arusha (Safari Day 3)

After an early breakfast at daybreak, you will drive down into the crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken caldera and has unbelievable wildlife diversity. On the grass steppe and in the acacia tree woods, you will find almost all species that are found in the East African savannah with the exception of topis, Masai giraffes, and impalas.

Quite often, you can observe the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard) within a couple of hours. Later, you will be driven to Arusha for an overnight at the Green Mountain Hotel.

Day 5: Arusha
