Wild Escape:Serengeti & Crater

Safari summary

This seamless fly-in safari from Zanzibar is the perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and wildlife immersion, taking you from the serene Indian Ocean coast into the heart of Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes — the Serengeti National Park and the legendary Ngorongoro Crater.

In just three days, you’ll experience two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, encounter the Big Five, and follow the pulse of the Great Wildebeest Migration, all while enjoying smooth logistics and handpicked accommodations.

* Your journey begins with a private flight from Zanzibar to the Serengeti, a vast and untamed wilderness famed for its endless plains and dramatic wildlife interactions. Depending on the season, you’ll arrive near the migratory routes, where thousands of wildebeest and zebras thunder across the savannah in search of greener pastures — and the predators that follow close behind.

Enjoy an immersive safari experience from the moment your plane touches down. With experienced guides leading your journey, you’ll track migrating herds and witness predator-prey encounters against a backdrop of sweeping landscapes and acacia-dotted plains. Game drives are rich with sightings of lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, and an incredible variety of birdlife.

For those looking to elevate their adventure, a sunrise hot air balloon safari is available as an optional add-on. Soar silently above the Serengeti at dawn and watch the wildlife from above — a bucket-list moment followed by a champagne bush breakfast.

* From the Serengeti, your journey transitions westward through the highlands into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, one of the most ecologically rich and visually striking regions on the continent. Your evening is spent at Ngorongoro Safari Lodge, set near the crater rim with sweeping views and cool, high-altitude air.

On your final day, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a collapsed volcanic caldera that cradles one of the densest populations of large mammals in Africa. Within a single game drive, it’s possible to see lions, elephants, buffalo, and the critically endangered black rhino, all within this lush, self-contained ecosystem. Flamingos, zebras, jackals, and massive herds of wildebeest complete the cast of wildlife.

This safari is tailored for those seeking a short but action-packed safari experience. Whether you're on a beach holiday in Zanzibar or short on time, this itinerary delivers top-tier safari moments without compromise. From the thrill of the migration to the serenity of the crater floor, every moment is designed to inspire awe and connection to nature.

You’ll return to Zanzibar by air in the afternoon of day three, bringing your journey full circle — from beach to bush and back again — with unforgettable memories and extraordinary wildlife moments.
