Serengeti and Crater Express

Safari summary

This 2-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari from Zanzibar offers an intense, unforgettable snapshot of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations. Perfect for travelers on a tight schedule, this express fly-in safari brings you face-to-face with the Great Migration, the Big Five, and the breathtaking beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater—all within 48 hours of pure adventure.

* Your journey starts on the exotic shores of Zanzibar, where a private bush flight whisks you directly into the wild heart of Serengeti National Park. Upon landing, your game drive begins immediately, immersing you in one of the richest ecosystems on Earth. Depending on the time of year, you’ll find yourself in the path of the Great Wildebeest Migration, a thundering procession of wildebeest and zebras followed by lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.

This short safari doesn't cut corners. Your experienced guide will take you across the Serengeti’s vast plains, introducing you to herds of elephants, elegant giraffes, prowling predators, and dozens of bird species. Your overnight stay is at Safari Haven Camp, a comfortable, mid-range tented camp blending bush charm with essential amenities. Enjoy a hearty meal, a night by the campfire, and fall asleep to the sounds of the wild.

* The second day brings another iconic destination: the Ngorongoro Crater, often called Africa’s Eden. After an early breakfast, you'll journey through the highlands into the crater—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world's largest intact volcanic caldera. The crater is teeming with wildlife, from black rhinos and lions to flamingos and hippos. In just a few hours, you can spot the Big Five and dozens of other species in this self-contained haven.

After a picnic lunch in the crater, you’ll ascend the crater rim and transfer to the nearby airstrip for your return flight to Zanzibar. In just two days, you’ll have experienced what many consider the best of Tanzania’s safari circuit—without missing a beat.

This tour is ideal for honeymooners, beach holidaymakers wanting a safari add-on, or adventurous travelers seeking a condensed, high-impact wildlife experience. All logistics are handled, flights are private and efficient, and the memories will last a lifetime.
