Arusha to Serengeti National Park

We will leave Moshi early morning and travel to Serengeti National Park. We will travel to Serengeti on a road near the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, allowing for animal sightings along the way. The golden savannah and endless plains, teeming with zebras, wildebeest and giraffes make it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. On this day, we will enjoy a picnic lunch on Naabai kopje (a small, rocky hill in a generally flat area), where you will have the opportunity to view Serengeti’s famous pink-headed lizards. After lunch, we will proceed further into the plains for a leisurely game drive. You will spend the night at the Central Serengeti.

Central Serengeti to Western Serengeti (Grumeti)

Early morning after breakfast, we depart to Western Serengeti. Around the end of April, May and June, a vast army of wildebeests along with its partners, zebras, elands and gazelles mill around the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, south of the Grumeti River. Harassed behind by lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas and ahead by giant Nile crocodiles, many hundreds perish as some hazard the river crossing while others detour it. But the beauty of the landscape, stretching without end beneath an infinite sky on a Serengeti West Safari, changes something within the watcher, who becomes more aware of the place of humankind within the drama of the animal world. After Lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for our partner lodges for dinner and overnight at Western Serengeti Main Accommodation Accommodations Mbalageti Tented lodge (Meals: Water is included in all meals (Other drinks are not included)

Western Serengeti National Park to North Serengeti (Kogatende) River crossing

After breakfast, we'll start our game drive to the Kogatende area, searching around the kopjes looking for carnivores and the large migration groups that will be preparing to cross the Mara River into Kenya. Home to large numbers of hippos and Nile crocodiles, the Mara River is the last major obstacle standing between the Wildebeest Migration and the relative safety of the Maasai Mara. If you're patient and a little lucky, you may even get to witness the death-defying crossing itself where wildebeest and zebras brave the river's currents and crocodiles in an attempt to reach safety.

Serengeti National Park (Kogatende) - Serengeti National Park (Central)

We'll start our day immediately after breakfast, driving through the plains of Togoro and the Mbuzi Mawe kopjes on our way to cross the Banagi River into the Seronera region of the Central Serengeti. Along the way, you'll spot everything from the enigmatic dik-diks to towering elephants, and everything in between. The Seronera is often known as 'big cat country', and its kopjes and acacias provide an excellent opportunity to spot prides of lazy lions, sleek cheetahs out on the hunt, and leopards overseeing everything from their lofty perches. The region's hippo pools and wide-open spaces provide ample opportunities for game viewing.

Serengeti National Park – Ngorongoro Conservations

After breakfast, we get right on the road back towards the Ngorongoro Crater National Park. Our drive takes us back through the Serengeti via a different route, offering plenty of opportunities to spot the animals that eluded you on day two. As far as the eye can see, you’ll spot thousands upon thousands of animals in herds; wildebeests and zebras migrating together, tall and graceful giraffes, jumping antelopes and gazelles, the powerful African elephant and the most respected group of animals: the predators. You will have the chance to spot lean cheetahs and shy leopards, foraging hyenas, and last but not least, the king himself; the lion. Dinner and overnight on the rim of the Ngorongoro.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After an early breakfast, we head to Ngorongoro Crater for the best animal sightings. A game drive around the crater offers opportunities to spot the Big 5 – lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo. We stop for a picnic at a small lake home to hippos and migratory birds. The crater, formed over two million years ago by a collapsed volcano, is full of wildlife, including zebras, wildebeests, flamingos, and hyenas. After an afternoon of exploring, we return to Arusha, overnighting at Platinum Mount Meru Hotel.
