Three Day Safari From Zanzibar

Safari summary

This 3-day safari takes you from the tropical beaches of Zanzibar to two of Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations: the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. In three days, you will experience thrilling game drives, breathtaking landscapes, and encounters with Africa’s most famous animals, including lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and rhinos. This itinerary is perfect for travelers who want a short but immersive safari experience combined with convenient flights from Zanzibar.

Your journey begins with a morning flight from Zanzibar to Seronera Airstrip in central Serengeti. Upon arrival, you will meet our professional safari guide and head out for an afternoon game drive. The central Serengeti is known for its abundant wildlife and excellent safari opportunities. Rolling grassy plains, scattered acacia trees, and rocky kopjes provide perfect observation points. During your afternoon drive, watch the golden sunset over the plains as animals roam freely across the savannah. After a thrilling day in the wild, return to your camp for dinner and overnight stay, listening to the sounds of the African bush.

On the second day, start early with a sunrise game drive in the Serengeti. Morning is one of the best times to see predators hunting and other wildlife starting their day. Lions, cheetahs, and leopards may be active, while large herds of wildebeest and zebra graze peacefully. Guests seeking a unique experience can enjoy an optional hot air balloon safari before sunrise, giving a bird’s-eye view of the plains and wildlife, followed by a champagne bush breakfast.

After breakfast, depart Serengeti and drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its volcanic crater and high concentration of wildlife. Spend the afternoon on a game drive in Ngorongoro Crater, spotting elephants, lions, rhinos, buffaloes, zebras, and a variety of birds. The dramatic crater scenery, rich vegetation, and dense wildlife make Ngorongoro an unforgettable safari destination. Return to your lodge or camp within the conservation area for dinner and overnight stay.

On the third day, enjoy a morning game drive in Ngorongoro if time allows, then depart for Kilimanjaro Airport for your return flight to Zanzibar. This 3-day safari allows travelers to experience both the endless plains of Serengeti and the dramatic landscapes of Ngorongoro Crater in a short period. The itinerary combines adventure, convenience, and breathtaking scenery, providing an immersive, memorable, and safe wildlife experience.
