Itinerary Overview
This 4-day fly-in safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro is designed for people with limited time, older people who don’t want to drive long hours to the Serengeti from Arusha or Kilimanjaro, and those who want to experience the Serengeti from the sky. On this tour, three days will be spent in Central Serengeti, and the last day will be spent at Ngorongoro Crater before driving to Arusha.
Itinerary day-by-day
DAY
01
Fly Arusha-Serengeti National Park
On this day, you will be picked up from your hotel depending on your location, though we normally do have three destinations, which are Arusha, Dar es Salaam, or Zanzibar, and fly to Seronera in central Serengeti for a full day game drive until late evening. The central park area, known as the Seronera area, is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife that is well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.

DAY
04
Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha
After an early breakfast at the lodge, you will drive to Ngorongoro Crater, which is over six hundred meters deep. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area helps a substantial variety of animals, which encompass herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and large African elephants. Another huge draw card to this picturesque country-wide park is its dense populace of predators, which encompass lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which every now and then calls for a skilled eye to observe. Furthermore, we are able to go to Lake Magadi, a massive, however shallow, alkaline lake at the southwestern corner; that’s one of the major capabilities of the crater. A massive quantity of flamingos, hippos, and different water birds can generally be seen here. Drive to Arusha, where the 4-day fly-in safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater ends.
