Arusha to Ndutu region in south Serengeti followed by game drives.

We will pick you up at your Arusha hotel and then drive towards the enchanting Ndutu region. The scenic 6-hour drive spanning 260 kilometers will unfold a captivating journey, transitioning from hilly forests to vast, green grasslands upon entering the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

During game drives between December and April, you will be able to see the great migration in this region. Between Mid Jan and Feb, wildebeest calving happens here and it attracts hordes of predators prying on vulnerable young wildebeest.

The Ndutu is also the home ground for 6 species of big cats – leopard, lion, cheetah, caracal, serval and wildcat.

The action-packed game drive will end late in the evening by around 6PM. You will be driven to your choice of accommodation for a freshly prepared dinner. Ensure you get some good rest and recharge yourself for another eventful day.

Full day game drive in the Ndutu region in south Serengeti.

After our hearty breakfast, we head out to enjoy a full day game drive in the Ndutu region. We endeavor to explore the range of different habitats found here that include swamps, woodland, soda lakes, and the world-famous Serengeti short grass plains. And of course there is the awesome sight of the great thronging herds of wildebeest and zebra.

During a short time frame around January, normally lasting for about 3 weeks, the majority of the wildebeest calves about half a million in number are born in this awesome act of synchronized birthing.

The sea of grass provides little cover and the young Wildebeest calves can run minutes after they are born and within 3 days they are normally strong enough to keep up with the herd.

Full-day game drive as you travel between Ndutu and Central Serengeti.

After a good breakfast, you will head out towards central Serengeti. Serengeti means endless plains in the local language. The grassland literally stretches out as far as the eye can see, eventually merging with the sky at the horizon. It is quite extraordinary.

The Serengeti ecosystem supports the greatest remaining concentration of game in Africa. Look out for the Serengeti Kopjes which are massive boulders of granite standing in a sea of grass. They provide ample shelter to a large variety of flora and fauna, and are a favorite perch among the lions.

A picnic lunch will be done during the day-long game drive itself.

The eventful day comes to an end with a sumptuous dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.

Full day game drives at central Serengeti.

Today's game drive begins at sunrise. Following a simple breakfast of coffee and snacks, the morning drive kicks off around 6:00 am, a time when the Serengeti plains are bustling with activity, offering prime opportunities to spot numerous animals and birds.

During this period, animals and birds are stirring, predators are on the hunt for prey, and herbivores are grazing on grass. It's an excellent time to witness diverse wildlife behaviors, including animal hunts, and capture memorable photographs.

After the morning drive, you'll return to the lodge (or picnic site) for a hearty breakfast. Then, the afternoon drive, along with lunch, continues until evening. After full-day game drives, you will have dinner at your overnight accommodation.

Early morning game drive at Serengeti followed by afternoon drive to Ngorongoro Conservation area.

On this day we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive when the animals are more active. Also witness one of the best sunrises you'll ever see. It's really an exceptionally beautiful experience.

After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then we'll proceed towards Ngorongoro, the 8th wonder of the Natural World.

The drive takes you back through the Serengeti via a different route, offering plenty of opportunities to spot the animals that eluded you before. You will see wildebeest and zebras migrating together, tall and graceful giraffes, jumping antelopes and gazelles, the mighty African elephant and the predators. You will have the chance to spot lean cheetahs and shy leopards, foraging hyenas, and last but not least, the king himself, the lion.

You should reach Ngorongoro region in time for a sundowner.

The eventful day comes to an end with a dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.

Game drive at Ngorongoro crater and in afternoon drive to Arusha.

Starting early, we descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a captivating morning amidst diverse wildlife. When you first glimpse this vast, verdant caldera from the panoramic viewpoint, you will soon understand why it has earned such a lofty reputation.

Home to over 120 mammal species, including the fabled Big Five, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the world's most sought-after safari destinations. It is a perfect place to see the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a lonely meal out on the grass plains and large numbers of hippopotamus enjoying the cool water. From the comfort of your open-top vehicle, you can observe and photograph some of Africa's most recognizable faces.

Following a rewarding game drive, enjoy a picnic near the famed Hippo pool. An additional short game drive precedes our ascent from the crater. We depart towards Arusha, aiming to return by 5 pm, allowing flexibility for travel arrangements.
