Serengeti & Ngorongoro Trip

Safari summary

This 3-day safari from Arusha is a wonderful introduction to Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. It’s designed for travelers who wish to experience the country’s incredible natural beauty and abundant wildlife in a short time.

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Arusha to the Serengeti, where the vast savannah and acacia-dotted landscape stretch endlessly before you. The Serengeti is famous for the Great Migration, one of nature’s greatest shows, where millions of wildebeest and zebras move across the plains followed by lions, cheetahs, and other predators. Even outside migration season, the park offers thrilling year-round wildlife viewing.

The crater’s rich ecosystem and dramatic scenery make it one of the best places on Earth to witness the Big Five in one location.
