Serengeti and Crater Fly-In

Safari summary

This compact 2-day safari from Zanzibar is your express ticket to two of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations — the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Perfectly tailored for travelers with limited time, this fly-in safari combines the drama of the Great Wildebeest Migration with the breathtaking scenery and high wildlife density of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, all with smooth logistics and a touch of adventure.

* The journey begins with a direct flight from Zanzibar to the heart of the Serengeti, offering an aerial view of the endless savannah and, depending on the season, a glimpse of migrating herds from above. On arrival, your game drive begins immediately. With an expert guide, you’ll traverse wildlife-rich plains in search of lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, and the massive herds of wildebeest and zebra that define the Great Migration.

Your overnight stay is at Safari Haven Camp, a mid-range tented safari camp that balances bush authenticity with comfort. Enjoy dinner under the stars and fall asleep to the distant calls of wildlife, immersed in the rhythm of the African wilderness.

For those seeking a once-in-a-lifetime experience, an optional hot air balloon safari is available at dawn on Day 2 (advance booking required). Soar above the golden plains as the sun rises over the Serengeti. From above, you’ll spot herds in motion, predators on the prowl, and panoramic vistas stretching beyond the horizon — all followed by a champagne bush breakfast on landing.

* After breakfast, you’ll transfer overland through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, gaining elevation as you enter the highlands. Descend into the majestic Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most wildlife-dense areas on the continent. This collapsed volcano is home to the Big Five, including the endangered black rhino, and hosts dramatic encounters between predators and prey in a unique, enclosed ecosystem.

After a thrilling crater game drive and a picnic lunch in the wild, you'll ascend the crater rim and head to the nearby airstrip for your flight back to Zanzibar. In just two days, you will have witnessed the scale of the Serengeti, the intimacy of Ngorongoro, and the possibility of an unforgettable aerial safari experience.

This itinerary is ideal for honeymooners, adventurers, or beach holidaymakers looking to add a powerful, immersive safari experience to their Tanzania journey — with maximum impact and minimum hassle.
