Safari itinerary

Day 2: Southern Serengeti National Park (Ndutu)

After breakfast, you will depart for the South Serengeti ecosystem belonging jointly to the

Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. One of the most scenic

drives in Tanzania, you can see Maasai warriors grazing cattle and, depending on the time of

year you may witness what makes up the largest mass migration of animals on earth. Huge

herds of wildebeest, gazelle and zebra moving clockwise to find better grazing areas.

Although nature and its rainfall determine exactly where the migrating animal will be in

winter, Ndutu is a reliable base at this time of the year, allowing us to maximize our

opportunities for tracking the animals. During our journey to Ndutu, you can enjoy the sheer

scale of Tanzania’s territory. From December to March, the herds are grazing in the southern,

east-central plains of the park and also the Ndutu area of Ngorongoro. The end of January

and February is the season that they are giving birth to their calves.

After lunch, you will begin your afternoon game drive where you can expect to see large

numbers of elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos,

antelopes and many exotic bird species. Your drive will end at your chosen camp or lodge

where you will relax and rest overnight.

Day 1: Kilimanjaro Int. Airport – Arusha City

You will be met at Kilimanjaro Int. Airport by your personal safari specialist and driver who

will brief you on the journey ahead. Equipped with a wealth of knowledge, our experts will

be able to answer any questions you have and provide you with all the information necessary

for an unforgettable safari experience. After checking into your chosen Arusha hotel, relax

and unwind before enjoying dinner at the hotel or in one of our recommended local

restaurants in Arusha town.

Day 3: Southern Serengeti (Ndutu Area)The endless plains of the Serengeti…

Today’s tour departs around 6 am in search of nocturnal predators returning from their night’s

hunting or animals waking up in the early dawn. Breakfast boxes will be prepared and you

will take a brief stop for a bush breakfast to enjoy the sunrise. Next, your drive will continue

to look for the pride of lions, cheetahs and leopards, all in abundance in the Serengeti.

Later in the afternoon, when the sun is less intense, you have the option to go on an early

evening game drive or a nature walk around the camp with the resident tribesmen, who will

be happy to share their knowledge of the region’s plants and animals with you.

If you wish to maximise your time in the park, lunch can also be taken as a picnic – a long day

but an experience you won’t forget.

You will stop at one of the parks’ beautiful picnic areas for a relaxed lunch and refreshments

before continuing on your afternoon game drive, returning to your camp/lodge by mid

afternoon to avoid the intense heat of the sun. Watching the thousands of wildebeest and

zebra majestically floating along the seemingly endless plains of the Serengeti is sure to be a

once-in-a-lifetime experience you will never forget.

Day 4: Ndutu Area - Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, you will begin your journey to the stunning Ngorongoro

Conservation Area. By lunchtime, you will be descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, a

UNESCO World Heritage Site, formed when a volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself 2-

3 million years ago. You will enjoy your first game drive around the crater floor, stopping for

a picnic lunch at one of the many scenic lunch spots. With its 2,000-foot-high walls, very few

animals migrate in and out of the crater making it an area with its one of the highest

concentrations of wild animals in the world.

You’ll be searching for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, flamingos, jackals,

rhinos, antelopes and many rare birds you might even get to see the “Big Five” all in one day!

At around 6 pm you will depart for your lodge perched on the edge of the crater rim. The

rest of the evening can be spent relaxing and enjoying the spectacular views over this

prehistoric landscape.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Conservation Area/Karatu – Kilimanjaro Int. Airport/Arusha Airport

At 6 am wake-up call is recommended to catch the amazing sunrise over the crater.Enjoy breakfast with views over the stunning crater before, departing for Arusha airport,
