Karatu or Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti National Park
You will be picked up from your hotel in Karatu or Mto wa Mbu, and then proceed towards the renowned Serengeti National Park, passing through the picturesque high-altitude farmlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The journey will take approximately four (4) hours. As we leave the highlands behind, we will descend into the core of wild Africa - the Serengeti National Park, characterized by its vast plains stretching endlessly into the horizon. Our destination is the central park area, known as the Seronera area, which is one of the most abundant wildlife habitats within the park. This area is home to the Seronera River, a crucial water source that attracts a diverse range of wildlife, representing many of the species found in the Serengeti. We will arrive in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park.

Full Day Game Drive Safari in Serengeti National Park
Today, you will embark on an exhilarating full-day game drive in the globally acclaimed Serengeti National Park, where you will have the opportunity to observe nature’s most dramatic spectacles—predators pursuing their prey and relishing their catch. As the premier wildlife sanctuary, the Serengeti’s expansive plains are inhabited by an unmatched density of animals, providing a front-row view of the Great Migration, during which vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles roam freely. Remain vigilant for a pride of lions resting in the shade, a cheetah racing across the savannah, or a leopard stealthily positioned in an acacia tree. This game drive guarantees stunning landscapes, exhilarating wildlife interactions, and unforgettable experiences in the heart of Africa’s most iconic safari destination.

Subsequently, proceed to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying an en-route game drive and a picnic lunch. The distinguished Ngorongoro is classified as a conservation area rather than a National Park. This entire region is overseen to benefit both the wildlife and the local Maasai community, who graze their cattle in harmony with the native fauna.

Ngorongoro Crater to Karatu or Mto wa Mbu
Following breakfast, proceed to descend into the crater and partake in a 5-hour game drive within it. The renowned Ngorongoro Crater stands as one of the most densely populated wildlife regions in Africa, hosting an estimated 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania\'s last remaining black rhinos. With a consistent supply of water and vegetation, the crater sustains a diverse array of wildlife, featuring herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and the majestic African elephants. Additionally, a significant attraction of this scenic national park is its substantial population of predators, which encompasses lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard. We will have a picnic lunch on the crater floor. In the late afternoon, we will drive back to Karatu, Mto wa Mbu or Arusha and drop you off at your hotel.
