The Serengeti, meaning “endless plains,” offers breathtaking views where the grasslands meet the horizon. Spanning 14,763 sq km, it’s home to the “Big 5”—elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard—as well as the elegant impala. The Seronera area, rich in wildlife and featuring the Seronera River, is particularly famous for its lion prides and dramatic granite kopjes. Enjoy a picnic lunch during your game drive and return to your accommodation for a hearty dinner and a restful night.

Serengeti National Park - Start your day with a relaxed breakfast before heading out for a full-day game drive at 9:00 AM, with a packed lunch and return to the lodge around 6:00 PM. Alternatively, begin with an early 6:00 AM game drive, return for breakfast, then go on an afternoon game drive with a packed lunch. You’ll explore the central Serengeti, particularly the Seronera area, known for its rich wildlife, including lions and leopards. The Seronera River attracts a diverse range of species year-round, offering excellent game viewing. After a picnic lunch and a day of wildlife exploration, return to your accommodation for a hearty dinner and a restful night.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Conservation Area - Enjoy an early breakfast before meeting your guide for a trip to Ngorongoro Crater.

Spend about 5 hours exploring the crater floor, where you’ll likely see elephants, buffaloes, black rhinos, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, and lions. In the evening, begin your drive back up to the crater rim and then head to Arusha for a 4-hour drive.
