Ngorongoro & Serengeti Explorer (private)

Day 1  Arusha      
Upon arrival transfer to your hotel.      

Day 2  Arusha to Karatu      
Depart for the highlands close to the Ngorongoro Crater, arriving at your lodge in the Karatu district in time for lunch. The afternoon is at leisure to unwind. Alternatively, drive via Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive with a picnic lunch en route – speak to your Trailfinders travel consultant for details.      

Day 3  Ngorongoro Crater      
Drive to the Ngorongoro Crater and descend through the early morning mists into spectacular landscapes for a full day game drive. Formed millions of years ago when a huge volcano collapsed in on itself, the Ngorongoro Crater boasts one of the densest animal populations in East Africa. Return to your lodge late afternoon.

Day 4  Karatu to Serengeti NP      
Head to the Serengeti National Park with game viewing en route. Arrive at your camp for lunch followed by an afternoon game drive. The vast plains of the Serengeti boast a staggering amount of game and plenty of opportunities to spot the Big 5 – elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo.    

Day 5  Serengeti NP      
Spend today exploring the endless plains of the Serengeti on morning and afternoon game drives. You can choose to replace today’s morning game drive with a sunrise hot air balloon safari, followed by a bush breakfast with sparkling wine – the ultimate way to view wildlife in Africa.    

Day 6  Serengeti NP to Arusha      
Fly back to Arusha for lunch before heading to the airport for your onward travel arrangements.
