Tour Itinerary
Day 1: ARUSHA TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
Your luxury safari begins with a morning pickup from your hotel or the airport in Arusha, followed by a scenic light aircraft flight into Serengeti National Park. Upon landing, your private guide will meet you for a game drive en route to your lodge, offering your first glimpses of wildlife along the way. Arrive at your luxury lodge or tented camp in time for a welcome drink and lunch. In the afternoon, head out on a thrilling game drive across the plains, where you may encounter lions, elephants, giraffes, and more. Return to your camp for sundowners with a view, followed by a gourmet dinner under the stars.
Day 2: FULL DAY IN SERENGETI
Start the day with an early morning game drive to witness predators at their most active and catch the sunrise over the savannah. If you’ve pre-booked the optional hot air balloon safari, today’s the day to soar over the plains and enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush. After breakfast, continue exploring different zones of the Serengeti based on seasonal wildlife activity—perhaps following the Great Migration or visiting the Seronera River Valley. Enjoy a picnic lunch in a scenic spot or return to your lodge for a relaxed afternoon. In the evening, head out for another game drive or unwind with spa treatments before a multi-course dinner.
Day 3: SERENGETI TO NGORONGORO CRATER - ARUSHA
After an early breakfast and checkout, depart Serengeti and travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, either overland or via a connecting flight depending on your lodge location. Arrive at the crater rim and descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day safari. This natural amphitheater is home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife, including the endangered black rhino, large elephant bulls, prides of lions, hippos, and flamingos. Enjoy a bush picnic lunch at a designated site inside the crater before ascending and making your way back to Arusha. You’ll arrive in the late afternoon for drop-off at your hotel or airport, concluding your unforgettable Tanzanian journey.
