4 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Mid-Range Safari

After breakfast, you will depart from Arusha and drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which takes approximately 5 hours. On arrival, you will descend into the crater for a wonderful game drive and a picnic lunch. The deep volcanic crater supports a large resident population of wildlife. It is one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles, and its magical setting and abundant wildlife never fail to enthrall visitors. It is one of the few places where the rare black rhino can be seen in their natural habitat. As very few animals migrate out of the crater due to its high walls, there is a high concentration of wildlife, and you can expect to see: Lion, Elephant, Zebra, Hippo, Flamingos, Jackal, and many other species, including all the Big 5. After your game drive, we will proceed to your camp for dinner.

After breakfast, we will depart for Serengeti National Park via Olduvai Gorge. Olduvai Gorge is an archaeological site located in the eastern Serengeti plains, in which some of the earliest human fossils were discovered. Serengeti National Park has an amazing landscape that resulted from the same tectonic forces that created the Great Rift Valley millions of years ago. It is one of the world’s greatest wildlife refuges, containing an estimated three million large animals, most of which take part in a seasonal migration that is one of nature’s wonders. The park covers an area of 14,763 sq km. The name Serengeti comes from the Maasai word ‘siringet’, meaning endless plains. You will arrive at this magical park in time for lunch, after which we will go on the afternoon game drive, in search of the different species this park has to offer.

The entire day is set aside for more game drives in the Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is the habitat for an abundance of wildlife, such as impalas, buffalo, crocodiles and hippos, but is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebras and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November and December the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, you might have the chance to see predators, such as leopards, cheetahs and lions, always lurking close by.

After an unforgettable day, you will return to your camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

Relaxed morning breakfast at camp then check out for your en-route morning game drive to Seronera airstrip in Serengeti to catch your 11 am flight to Arusha. The flight arrives in Arusha at 12:15 m. We will pick you up from the airport in Arusha and drop you off at your hotel or Kilimanjaro international airport for your onwards flight.
