Detailed Safari Itinerary
Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Arusha, driving through the scenic landscapes of the Great Rift Valley and the Ngorongoro Highlands end route to Serengeti National Park.
Upon entering the Serengeti, enjoy a game drive as you head toward the Central Serengeti (Seronera area), famous for its year-round wildlife concentration and strong predator presence. The Seronera Valley is particularly known for lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as large herds of zebras, wildebeest, and gazelles grazing across the endless plains.
You will enjoy a picnic lunch during your game drive before continuing your wildlife exploration. In the late afternoon, proceed to your campsite in Central Serengeti for dinner and overnight camping surrounded by the sounds of the wild.

After an early breakfast at camp, depart for a full-day game drive in Central Serengeti. This area offers one of the best wildlife-viewing experiences in Africa, with excellent chances of spotting the Big Five.
You may witness lions hunting on the plains, leopards resting in acacia trees, cheetahs scanning the horizon, elephants moving in family groups, and large buffalo herds roaming freely. Depending on the season, you might also encounter part of the Great Migration.
Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic location inside the park before continuing your afternoon exploration. In the late afternoon, return to your campsite for dinner and a second night under the African sky.

After an early breakfast, depart the Serengeti and drive toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Upon arrival at the crater rim, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater for a spectacular half-day game drive.
The crater is one of Africa’s most wildlife-dense areas and offers an excellent opportunity to spot the Big Five within a single day, including lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and the endangered black rhino. Hippos wallow in freshwater pools while zebras and wildebeest graze across the open grasslands.
After enjoying a picnic lunch inside the crater, ascend back to the rim and continue your journey to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon for drop-off at your hotel or airport.
