Arrive in the Serengeti by early afternoon and start your first game drive in this iconic park, famous for its endless plains and the Great Migration. The central region (Seronera) is rich in wildlife year-round—expect to see lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalos, and large herds of herbivores. Reach your camp before sunset.

As you travel back through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you may stop at a Maasai boma (village) to learn about traditional Maasai life (optional, entrance fee may apply).

    After an early breakfast, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater—a natural amphitheater and one of Africa’s best safari destinations. The Crater hosts nearly all of East Africa’s big game, including the Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and the endangered black rhino. Enjoy a half-day crater game drive, observing animals on the crater floor’s grasslands, lakes, and forested areas. Look out for hippos, hyenas, jackals, ostriches, and more. A picnic lunch will be served at a scenic crater site, likely near the hippo pool. In the early afternoon, ascend the Crater and begin your return drive to Kilimanjaro International Airport, arriving in the late afternoon or early evening, in time for your onward flight
