Serengeti & Crater Escape

Safari summary

This exceptional 5-day safari offers an effortless transition from Zanzibar’s turquoise coastline to the awe-inspiring heart of Africa’s wilderness. Designed for luxury, midrange, and budget travelers alike, the experience begins with a private charter flight from Zanzibar to Kogatende Airstrip in the Northern Serengeti—strategically timed with the Great Migration’s river crossing season. Prepare for unforgettable wildlife encounters as vast herds of wildebeest brave the Mara River’s crocodile-infested waters, with predators like lions and leopards always in pursuit.

Your days in the Serengeti are packed with personalized game drives led by expert guides, with options for sunrise hot air balloon safaris over the golden plains. The adventure continues with a scenic flight to the Ngorongoro Highlands, followed by a crater floor safari in one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife sanctuaries. Throughout the journey, choose accommodations tailored to your travel style: elegant luxury lodges with infinity pools and fine dining, midrange tented camps that blend comfort with authenticity, or well-appointed budget safari camps offering prime locations and warm hospitality.

Each property has been hand-selected to provide immersion in nature without compromising on comfort. Private charter flights between destinations ensure maximum time in the wild and minimum time in transit. Whether you're enjoying champagne sundowners above the Mara or listening to lion calls under a canvas roof, this itinerary is designed to deliver Tanzania’s most iconic safari experiences in an elevated yet accessible way.
