3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Group Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania from Mombasa (2026 - 2027)

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

We’ll start the day with an early morning game drive in the heart of the Serengeti, where the savannah comes alive with bird songs as the rising sun spreads its light across the plains. Your guide will follow fresh tracks in search of predators before we continue our journey to the Ngorongoro Crater. Dinner and overnight stay will be provided.

Arusha to Serengeti National Park

We will depart from Arusha early in the morning and head to Serengeti National Park, driving along a scenic road near the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, where wildlife sightings are common. As we enter the Serengeti, the vast golden savannahs and endless plains filled with zebras, wildebeest, and giraffes will reveal why it is celebrated as one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders. Lunch will be enjoyed picnic-style at Naabi Kopje, a rocky outcrop in the otherwise flat landscape, home to the Serengeti’s striking pink-headed lizards. Afterward, we continue deeper into the plains for a relaxed afternoon game drive before settling in for the night in the Serengeti.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After an early breakfast, we’ll head straight to Ngorongoro Crater, the perfect time to catch wildlife at its most active. The day will be spent on an exciting game drive across the crater floor, with a break for a picnic lunch by a scenic lake teeming with hippos and migratory birds. Known as a natural “oasis,” the crater offers an excellent chance to spot all members of the iconic Big Five—lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo—some of Africa’s most powerful creatures.

Ngorongoro Crater itself is a wonder; formed over two million years ago when a massive volcano erupted and collapsed, it left behind a vast, unbroken caldera brimming with life. Inside, you’ll encounter playful zebras, massive hippos, speedy wildebeest, and mischievous hyenas. Along the soda lake, graceful flamingos gather in flocks, while hawks and vultures soar above, scanning for their next meal. The crater is also home to striking waterbirds such as storks, ibis, and cranes—an unforgettable sight. After a rewarding afternoon of wildlife viewing, we’ll begin our return journey to Arusha.
