3-Day Serengeti and Ngorongoro Tour - 3 Days

The pick up will be at 6:00 am at your hostel/homestay/hotel in Arusha. You will drive towards the fertile highland where wheat, coffee and corn are grown by the Iraqw people. Passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will be able to see the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater before travelling onwards to the Serengeti National Park. You will reach Serengeti by midday. The Serengeti National Park is the largest park in Tanzania with a diversity of landscapes and habitats, such as grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannah and mountains. Here the biggest wildebeest and zebra migration takes place. Depending on the season, you will have the opportunity to witness thousands of animals on their search for nourishment. You will camp the night in the Seronera Area in central Serengeti at Nyani Campsite.

You’ll wake up at 6:00 am, for early morning game drives in Serengeti until 10:00 am. Head back to the campsite for breakfast. Here in the Serengeti region, you can often watch wildebeest and zebras next to lions and other big cats such as leopards and cheetahs. On the way, you can pass by the Olduvai Gorge where the English pair, Louis and Mary Leaky pioneered excavation work. In the sixties, some of the earliest archaeological deposits of human evolution was found and a small museum documents these discoveries. You will check out and drive with lunch and game viewing en route to Ngorongoro Crater Rim. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at Ngorongoro Simba “A” Campsite.

You’ll wake up early in the morning for breakfast and then at 7:00 am, drive to Ngorongoro Crater where you will descend into the Crater floor (19.2km of diameter, 610m deep, 304sq km) for game drives. All the Big Five, rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo, and elephant, live in this wonderful caldera as well as many more mammals. Birds include flamingos on the Soda Lake, geese, storks, vultures, and more. Have a break for lunch at the Ngoitoktok Spring Picnic Site. Ngorongoro Crater is often called ‘Africa’s Eden’ the ‘8th Natural Wonder of the World’. It is a massive extinct volcano, with its towering tree lined walls dropping thousands of feet to a “Noah’s Ark” with animals on the verdant floor below. This breathtaking oasis provides a haven for both predator and prey to live among grasslands, fresh springs, and the large soda lake. After lunch, proceed with game viewing while ascending the Crater. Later on, you’ll drive to Arusha
