About this Safari

Begin your Tanzanian safari in Arusha, where you will be welcomed on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your accommodation for an overnight stay. The following day, journey to the magnificent Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater for an exciting game drive. This remarkable 20 km-wide volcanic caldera is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife throughout the year, offering opportunities to spot elephants, lions, buffaloes, zebras and, with luck, the endangered black rhino.

Continue through the scenic Ngorongoro Highlands towards Ndutu, enjoying lunch at Masek Tented Camp before heading out for an afternoon game drive across this fascinating wilderness. Your journey then takes you to the Northern Serengeti, where you will spend two days exploring the vast open plains and diverse habitats of this iconic wildlife sanctuary. During the migration season, witness the spectacular movement of thousands of wildebeest and zebras as they traverse the Serengeti, while keeping an eye out for lions, leopards, cheetahs and other remarkable wildlife.

Enjoy immersive stays at Masek Tented Camp and Mara Kati Kati Tented Camp, experiencing the sights and sounds of the African wilderness. Conclude your adventure with a scheduled flight from Kogatende to Arusha, departing at 10:00 hrs and arriving at 12:45 hrs, bringing your memorable Tanzanian safari to a close.
