Itinerary Details
Arrival
Day 1 Arusha to Central Serengeti National Park
In the morning, after breakfast, at 7:30 am, you will be escorted to a safari jeep that will be outside the hotel.
On your way to Serengeti, you will pass through several attractive points where you can stop for a photo or two. Among others is Lake Manyara View Point, about 2 hours away, and Ngorongoro Viewpoint, about a 3-hour drive from Arusha. Your guide now takes you to Serengeti, undoubtedly one of the best-known wildlife sanctuaries in the world.
Known for its endless plains named by the Masai as ‘’Serengit,’’ Serengeti National Park is most likely the best-ever wildlife sanctuary in the world. It is the home to hundreds of lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, millions of wildebeest, thousands of zebras, gazelles, and thousands of birds, to mention a few. The park is world famous for the great migration of over a million wildebeests and thousands of zebras. Let me not blow the trumpet, but allow you to see more than what we are explaining.

Day 2 Central to Northern Serengeti National Park
In the morning, you will have a game drive in central Serengeti to see 3 big cats (cheetahs, lions, and leopards). Later, you will be transferred to North Serengeti, where you can have time to visit the Mara River. Later, you’ll be transferred to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
The migration of wildebeests while crossing the Mara River to the Masai Mara, Kenya, is usually from late July to October. Thousands of wildebeests and zebras cross the Mara River, of course Mara River, while heading to the Masai Mara in Kenya, as they look for green grasses since the rain will have started in the Mara River.
Thousands of zebras and wildebeests tend to cross the river, but not all the time, so if you don’t see it today, you shouldn’t be worried because you will still have tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, which our very experienced driver should be able to show you at least once or twice within the planned days.

Day 3 Mara River Migration Viewing
Today, you will have the whole day at the river waiting for the crossing. One fascinating event is that as these animals are crossing the river few of them are caught by crocodiles, which tend to feed on them, but also, along the river, other predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards are always present looking to feed on wildebeests and zebras.
Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 5 Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
In the morning, your driver-guide will transfer you to the Ngorongoro Crater. After registration, you will descend to the crater for an enchanting wildlife viewing. Known as the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s best-known wildlife arenas.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a unique biosphere, which has remained virtually unchanged since the dawn of time. Deep within the Crater, enclosed by towering walls, some 25,000 large mammals wander the plains, lakes, and forests of ‘the land. During your game drive inside the crater, you will most likely see black rhinos, leopards, wonderful black-maned lions, and many flamingos.
