Arusha town to Central Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park - After a 7 a.m. breakfast, you’ll be picked up at 8 a.m. from your accommodation for a 6-hour (335km) drive to the southern part of Serengeti National Park via the Ngorongoro gate. You’ll begin your game drive and explore the Southern/Central/Seronera Valley; the Maasai call it “Serengit,” meaning the land of endless plains. The Southern Zone features vast plains covered with savannah grasslands, providing ample grazing areas year-round for wildlife such as wildebeest, zebra, Coke’s hartebeest, waterbuck, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelle, and impala. In Seronera Valley, the acacia vegetation forms group-like structures known as kopjes, offering excellent vantage points for predators to spot their prey and serving as refuges for hyrax, pythons, and reptiles like lizards. African leopards are commonly seen. You’ll have lunch at a picnic site and continue your game drive until the evening, when you’ll head to Seronera campsite for dinner and overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Serengeti National Park - Depart with a lunch box for a half-day game drive in Serengeti National Park until the afternoon. Then proceed to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying an en route game drive. Arrive at Ngorongoro and check in at Simba Campsite for dinner and overnight stay.

Ngorongoro Crater - On the plains, elephants are plentiful, with matriarch herds increasing in certain areas. Moru Kopjes rise from the sweeping savannah like ships on a golden-green sea. In addition to their unique flora, including weird candelabra trees and dazzling ephemeral flowers, the fauna includes rare black rhinos. The central area is so large that wildlife climb and play on the gong rock and admire Maasai cave paintings of elephants, shields, and abstract patterns. The kopjes also provide excellent vantage points for predators to spot prey.

Departure Ngorongoro To Arusha Town

Ngorongoro Conservation Area - At 7:00 a.m., enjoy breakfast at leisure. At 9:00 a.m., descend the crater rim for a half-day tour until 3:00 p.m., with a picnic lunch. Tanzania’s ‘secret garden’ contains a hidden world of teeming wildlife. At 7:00 p.m., drive back to Arusha town.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area - Ngorongoro National Park is the only park in Tanzania that offers a year-round view of the Big Five, possibly all in a single day of visiting. The park is also known for the Maasai families living in circular homesteads called bomas. Ngorongoro National Park is an excellent site to understand early human evolution, pioneered by Mary and Louis Leakey. Other wildlife you might see include wildebeest, gazelle, golden jackal, bat-eared fox, hippopotamus, East African wild dog, African leopard, ungulates, waterbucks, buffalo, eland, and serval.
