Itinerary

1. Day 1- Arrival, transfer from Kilimanjaro Airport

   • Karibu Tanzania! 
   • Upon arrival, our driver will pick you up from Kilimanjaro Airport. He will be waiting for you outside at the exit with a name sign. He will bring you to the Lodge for dinner and overnight.

   Accommodation: Crater Rim View Karatu

2. Day 2- Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti National Park

   • An appetizing breakfast will be served at the camp, followed by a drive to the Serengeti National Park. 
   • We will take the scenic route to Serengeti, which will allow us to travel near the Ngorongoro Crater. 
   • There is a possibility of spotting the game. The endless golden savannah with splotches of colour created by the vegetation and wildlife make it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural wonders of Africa. 
   • We will stop so that you can enjoy your picnic lunch on a kopje (a small hill in a generally flat area). 
   • We will proceed further into the Serengeti for a leisurely game drive. 
   • You will spend the night at the Camp for dinner and overnight.

   Accommodation: Kontiki Serengeti Camp

3. Day 3- Serengeti National Park

   • The day will begin in the center of the majestic Serengeti. 
   • After a nourishing breakfast, we will continue our journey into the plains. 
   • Since we have a full day of game driving, you will likely view hundreds of the diverse animals that find their home within the Serengeti’s endless plains. 
   • This day will likely offer sightings of the African mammals that make the park famous- lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, and water buffalo, all within a few feet of the jeep.
   • Depending on the time of year, visitors will also have the chance to view thousands of zebra and wildebeest on their Great Migration. The hundreds of bird species, both endemic and migrating from the Eurasian region, are a special bonus for bird watchers.
   • Later in the evening continue to the Kontik Camp for dinner and overnight.

   Optional Activity,

   Rise early for an unforgettable hot air balloon safari, followed by breakfast.

4. Day 4- Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

   • We will depart for the Ngorongoro Crater early in the morning as it is a wonderful time to spot the game from Serengeti. 
   • We will go on a game drive with a picnic lunch inside the crater. The majority of the animals tend to reside within the crater due to its elevated structure. 
   • There is a high possibility of spotting every member of ‘The Big 5’.
   • The Crater was formed millions of years ago when a large volcano erupted. 
   • You can expect to encounter zebra, hippo, wildebeest, and cackling hyenas. There are graceful flamingos along the Soda Lake and vultures are constantly circling the sky in search of discarded carcasses. 
   • Storks and geese are popular water birds in the crater.
   • Your trip will come to an end and you will be transferred to the Airport for your departure flight.
   • Alternatively, continue to your booked hotel for an overnight stay at Arusha.
