You begin your safari with a transfer from Arusha into the heart of Serengeti National Park, where the expansive plains and scattered kopjes set the stage for exceptional wildlife viewing. Upon arrival, embark on your first game drive, watching for lions, elephants, giraffes and other plains game that populate this iconic landscape. As the sun sets across the savannah, you will head to your tented camp for dinner and an evening under the stars.

Day 2 – Full Day Game Driving in Serengeti & Transfer to Ngorongoro
After breakfast, enjoy a full day of game drives across the Serengeti’s varied habitats, from open grasslands to shaded riverine corridors, tracking resident wildlife and predator activity. Later in the day, depart the Serengeti and begin your route toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with spectacular scenery along the way.
