Tour Levels Available

  • Midrange Safari: A balance of comfort and adventure with en-suite tented camps and cozy safari lodges.
  • Luxury Safari: Opulent tented camps with sweeping views, gourmet meals, and top-tier personalized service.

Detailed 3-Day Safari Itinerary

Day 1 – Arusha to Serengeti: After breakfast in Arusha, embark on a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley and lush Ngorongoro highlands. Enjoy a picnic lunch en route as giraffes, zebras, and gazelles begin to appear. Arrive in central Serengeti for a golden-hour game drive. Overnight at your chosen lodge or camp beneath the star-filled sky.

Day 2 – Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highlands: Begin your day with a sunrise game drive — the best time for catching predators in action. After brunch at camp, depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Drive along scenic escarpments and Masai villages. Spend the night near the crater rim or in the Karatu highlands for cooler temperatures and luxurious lodges.

Day 3 – Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha: Early breakfast followed by a descent 600 meters into the world’s largest intact caldera. Discover a self-contained ecosystem packed with lions, hyenas, hippos, and rare black rhinos. After a memorable half-day crater tour, drive back to Arusha with optional stops at local markets or cultural centers. Safari ends in the late afternoon.
