Zanzibar to Serengeti & Crater

Safari summary

This safari takes you from the beaches of Zanzibar to the heart of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations: the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. In just two days, you will experience exciting game drives, breathtaking landscapes, and close encounters with some of Africa’s most famous animals. This itinerary is perfect for travelers who want a compact yet unforgettable safari adventure combined with convenient flights from Zanzibar.

Your adventure begins with a morning flight from Zanzibar to Seronera Airstrip, in central Serengeti. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by your professional safari guide and immediately head out for your first game drive. The central Serengeti is home to abundant wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest. The region’s grassy plains, acacia trees, and rocky kopjes create excellent wildlife observation points. During your afternoon drive, enjoy the stunning Serengeti sunset as animals move freely across the plains. After a thrilling day, return to your camp for dinner and overnight stay, immersing yourself in the sounds and atmosphere of the African bush.

On the second day, wake early for a sunrise game drive to witness predators and active wildlife in the soft morning light. Lions may be hunting, cheetahs sprinting, and herds of wildebeest and zebras grazing peacefully. For guests seeking a truly special experience, an optional hot air balloon safari is available. The flight begins before sunrise, offering a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the endless Serengeti plains. From above, you can see herds of elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife in their natural habitat. After landing, enjoy a champagne toast and a bush breakfast in the savannah, creating a once-in-a-lifetime memory.

After your morning Serengeti adventure, depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its spectacular volcanic crater and dense wildlife populations. Spend time exploring the Ngorongoro Crater on a game drive, spotting elephants, lions, buffaloes, zebras, rhinos, and a variety of birds. The crater offers dramatic scenery, rich vegetation, and some of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa.

Following your Ngorongoro adventure, drive to Kilimanjaro Airport for your return flight to Zanzibar. This itinerary allows travelers to experience two of Tanzania’s most famous wildlife destinations in a short time, combining convenience, adventure, and unforgettable scenery.
