Arusha to Serengeti National Park
Your private budget safari begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha, where your expert guide welcomes you into a 4x4 Land Cruiser designed for the ultimate safari experience. The drive takes you through the picturesque highlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where Maasai herders share the land with freely roaming wildlife. As you leave the lush landscapes behind, you’ll descend into the Serengeti National Park, a land of endless golden plains, acacia-dotted savannahs, and incredible wildlife encounters. After a picnic lunch, embark on your first thrilling game drive, exploring the Seronera region, known for its abundant big cats, grazing herbivores, and the winding Seronera River that attracts thirsty animals year-round. As the sun sets, you’ll arrive at your handpicked tented camp, where a delicious dinner and a night under the African stars await.

Full Day Game Drive Safari in Serengeti National Park
Wake up to the sounds of the Serengeti—roaring lions, laughing hyenas, and the distant calls of wildebeest. After an early breakfast, set off on a full-day game drive, maximizing your chances of witnessing the dramatic predator-prey interactions, and breathtaking scenery. Your private guide will tailor the drive to your interests, whether you want to track big cats, spend time with elephant herds, or search for the elusive leopard camouflaged in the acacia trees. Midday, enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush, surrounded by nature’s beauty. As the day progresses, you may visit hippo pools, cheetah territories, and hidden corners of the park that only an expert guide can reveal. As the golden hour approaches, return to camp to relax by the bonfire, share stories of the day, and enjoy a hearty dinner under the starlit sky.

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
After an early breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive in the Serengeti, capturing those last magical moments of lions on the hunt, elephants grazing, or cheetahs scanning the horizon. By midday, start your scenic drive toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying an en-route game drive as you transition from the Serengeti’s open plains to the rolling green highlands of Ngorongoro. Unlike national parks, Ngorongoro is a multi-use conservation area where the Maasai people and wildlife coexist, adding a fascinating cultural element to your safari. Arriving at your accommodation in the late afternoon, you can relax and take in panoramic views of the crater, where tomorrow’s adventure awaits.

With one of the highest animal densities in Africa, this is your chance to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo) in a single game drive. The crater floor is also home to zebras, hippos, hyenas, jackals, and countless birds, creating a safari experience unlike any other. At Ngoitoktok Hippo Pool, enjoy a picnic lunch beside a tranquil lake where hippos wallow and birds soar overhead. By early afternoon, ascend from the crater and begin your journey back to Arusha, arriving by late afternoon to end your unforgettable private safari.
