The Serengeti, home to the legendary Great Migration and inspiration for The Lion King, offers endless game-viewing opportunities. The journey continues to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you’ll encounter an incredible diversity of animals in one of the most breathtaking natural settings on Earth.

Accommodation during the safari is budget camping, offering a true wilderness experience.
Lodge or tented camp upgrades are available at an additional cost.

Day 1: Arusha to Serengeti National Park

Your adventure begins after breakfast in Arusha, where you’ll meet your professional safari guide and chef. Together, you’ll set off for the legendary Serengeti National Park, driving through the scenic Ngorongoro Conservation Area with brief stops to enjoy panoramic views of the crater and surrounding highlands.

As you enter the Serengeti, the endless plains unfold before you—home to the world’s most spectacular wildlife concentrations. On your afternoon game drive, look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, and if you’re lucky, the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras.

Later in the evening, you’ll head to your public campsite inside the park, where your chef will prepare a delicious hot dinner under the stars. Enjoy the authentic experience of camping in the wild, surrounded by the sounds of nature.

Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

Today is dedicated entirely to exploring the vast plains of the Serengeti National Park. After an early breakfast, you’ll set out for a full-day game drive, venturing deep into different parts of the park — north, south, east, or west — depending on wildlife movements and migration patterns.

Your guide will help you track the best wildlife sightings, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, and countless other species that call the Serengeti home. If you’re visiting during the Great Migration, you may witness the awe-inspiring sight of wildebeest and zebras stretching endlessly across the horizon.

You’ll enjoy a packed lunch in the heart of the bush, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African wilderness. As the sun sets, return to your campsite for a freshly prepared dinner and another night under the starry Serengeti sky.

Day 3: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, you’ll head out for a morning game drive in the Serengeti, taking advantage of the best time to spot predators in action as they hunt or return from their night activities. The park’s open plains offer fantastic photo opportunities and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

By midday, you’ll return to camp for lunch and packing, then begin your scenic drive toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, you’ll enjoy more game viewing as you exit the Serengeti — the journey itself often reveals elephants, zebras, and other wildlife roaming freely.

By late afternoon, you’ll arrive at Simba Campsite, located near the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. The campsite offers spectacular views of the surrounding highlands, and it’s not unusual to see animals such as zebras and buffalo grazing nearby.

Main Destination: Ngorongoro Crater (overnight near the rim)
Accommodation: Simba Campsite – Budget camping near the crater rim
Meals & Drinks: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included; bottled water provided

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After an early breakfast, you’ll descend into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s best wildlife destinations. The crater is home to an incredible variety of animals, including lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, and—if you’re lucky—the rare black rhino. Because of the crater’s enclosed ecosystem, wildlife is easy to spot and photograph, making this one of the most rewarding safari experiences in Tanzania.

You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic spot near the hippo pool before continuing your game drive in the afternoon. Later, you’ll ascend the crater walls and begin your drive back to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon, marking the end of your unforgettable safari adventure.
