On this safari tour you will be able to see the two most popular national parks in Tanzania. If you only have a few days and want to see probably Africa's most famous national park and what is known as the Eighth Wonder of the World, this is the package for you. The Serengeti is a stunning national park with a magical combination of environment and wildlife.
The Serengeti is also known for the world's largest mammal migration, with up to two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle migrating between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara in Kenya in search of fresh bait. Depending on when you go, you may have a chance to see this spectacle. This package includes a short visit to a Maasai village where you will be given an insight into their interesting lives. Ngorongoro is the world's largest whole caldera with a diameter of almost 2 miles.
During these days you will see lots of animals and also get very close to them. However, there will be a lot of driving as there are long distances between these parks. If you can, you can add a day in the Serengeti. Regardless, you will have exciting and unforgettable encounters from Africa's fantastic wildlife.
The Safari Jeep is a four-wheel drive Land Cruiser equipped with a power outlet where you can lift the roof to get a perfect view of the savannah.

We will pick you up at the airport in Arusha or Kilimanjaro. One of our representatives will stand with a sign with your name in the arrivals hall. You will then be transferred to your hotel where you will have time to recover after a long journey. Arusha is beautifully situated at the foot of Tanzania's second highest mountain, Mount Meru. Just a few kilometres away is Africa's highest mountain Kilimanjaro. The region is characterised by coffee and banana plantations. Arusha is high above sea level, which makes the climate very pleasant.
Early in the morning you start your journey to the Serengeti. You'll pass hilly areas with Maasai guarding their cattle in their traditional red-checked cloth skins. In the afternoon, when you arrive, you will go on a safari. But even on the way to the gate itself, you are likely to see many animals. Depending on when you visit the park, you will be able to see part of the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra. The landscape is largely savannah with the characteristic acacia trees. Before sunset, return for dinner at your accommodation, which is located in the heart of the Serengeti. There you may see, but in all likelihood hear, animals during the evening and night.
Today there will be an exciting full day safari in the Serengeti. You'll get up early in the morning to watch the savannah come to life. On safari here you will see many of the animals synonymous with Africa. The day is spent spotting animals such as giraffes, ostriches, hyenas, antelopes, zebras, cheetahs, hippos and elephants. We will bring picnic lunch to eat at a suitable spot inside the reserve. In the afternoon/evening you will go on another tour as the sun sets over the park. At dusk you return to your accommodation in central Serengeti for dinner. Sitting on the savannah surrounded by all the sounds and smells of Africa and looking up at the starry sky is magical.
Getting up early in the morning and feeling the fresh air and seeing the morning ice in the Serengeti is something very special. For many predators, this is the time of day when they are at their most active. The Serengeti has the world's largest concentration of felines and there is a good chance of seeing them. The Seronera area, where you will be staying, is particularly animal dense. After a morning/mid-morning safari in the Serengeti, you will head towards the Ngorongoro Crater. Here you will have a short guided walking tour along the crater and have the opportunity to enjoy the magical views. If you prefer to go directly to your accommodation, this is of course also possible.
Early in the morning you start the journey down into the Ngorongoro Crater. The trip along the crater rim and then down to the crater itself is a mighty experience. Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive volcano and there is a height difference of almost 600 metres from the crater rim down to the crater floor. The crater is called the Garden of Eden because there are between 25,000 - 30,000 wild animals in this area. At a nice picnic area, often full of hippos, the day's lunch is taken. After an intense day in the crater, you begin the journey back to Arusha. On the way back, you may choose to stop for a short visit to a genuine Maasai village to get an insight into how they live.
You can enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the hotel. If you choose to add our Zanzibar package, we will pick you up well before departure. If you have booked your own flight from Arusha or Kilimanjaro, you decide when you want to be picked up for transport to the airport. If you would like a transfer on another day, this can be arranged.
Add another full day in the Serengeti and have the opportunity to spend another day spotting all the amazing animals that live here.

Here are some accommodation suggestions for this safari package
This lodge has a fantastic location right on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater and with spectacular views. It is camouflaged to blend in completely with its surroundings and is built of stone, creating a feeling of being one with nature. The rooms have a private stone balcony and are decorated with prehistoric paintings. Here you can enjoy stunning sunsets. The unique location makes it easy to get down to the crater in the morning.
The lodge is close to the crater rim, which allows you to get down into the crater quickly in the morning. The accommodation is rustic and has an old-fashioned charm. As it is cold at night, there are stoves in each room and fires in common areas. It is not uncommon to see zebras, storks and sometimes even elephants from your veranda. The majority of the staff are Maasai, and part of the income from the lodge goes to support the Maasai people.
This camp is located in the middle of the central Serengeti. There are many large acacia trees scattered around the area where you can sit in the shade and look out over the vastness. The camp has 180 degree views of the savannah. At certain times of the year you can see parts of the annual migration from here. You will stay in luxury tents with comfortable beds. In the morning you can have a cup of coffee and hear the savannah come to life. All electricity comes from solar power.
This campsite is located in the centre of Serengeti. When you arrive, the chef will start preparing dinner and you can sit in a camping chair and rest after the day's safari. You will stay in simple tents equipped with mattresses, pillows and sleeping bags. The standard is relatively basic, but there are western-style toilets. The area is famous for its many hyenas which you may see and most likely hear. There is a ranger with a rifle nearby so you can feel completely safe.
The campsite is close to the crater and although you can't see down into the crater itself, it's a cool hilly environment to be in. You will stay in simple tents equipped with mattresses, pillows and sleeping bags. Tenting is an exciting experience as you get very close to the animals. Usually you can hear the sounds of several animals from inside the tent. Many times you can see zebras grazing on the grass. There are no fences around the area, but there is a ranger with a rifle nearby so you can feel completely safe.
If you want to try glamping, Tukaone Camp is the perfect place to do it. It is a small and personal camp surrounded by acacia trees and separated from other accommodations. From here you can see the endless plains of the Serengeti and also have a great opportunity to see wildlife as the lodge is right in the heart of the Serengeti. In the evenings you can sit in front of an open fire and enjoy beautiful sunsets. The accommodation has been built and designed to blend in with the savannah.
Here are some activities you can add to your safari package
Ngorongoro is the kingdom of the Maasai and in the surroundings here you will see many colourful Maasai and Maasai villages. We visit a genuine village with few tourists. A visit will give you an insight into the culture of the Maasai and what their daily life is like. You will be given a guided tour by a Maasai and have the opportunity to see what it is like inside the huts. Usually the visit takes about an hour.
If you want to get the experience of Kilimanjaro without climbing it, a day trip is the perfect activity for you. Early in the morning, you will go to Marangu Gate, which is 1,843 m above sea level, and then hike, surrounded by rainforest, up to Mandara Hut at 2,700 m above sea level. There you will have a well-deserved lunch and if you are lucky you can see the summit of Kilimanjaro from here. Then you start the journey back down. Depending on your pace, the trip takes about 8 hours in total.
Going on a canoe safari is an exciting experience. For 2 hours you will glide through the water. From the canoe you have the opportunity to see hippos, but also other animals that come down to the water to drink. There are also many exotic birds in the area. You will have an experienced guide with you in the canoe, so you can feel completely safe and just enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Travelling silently across the savannah and seeing Serengeti's many animals and landscapes from a bird's eye view is a magical experience. The tour is done early in the morning and in addition to the chance to see a morning hunt, you can enjoy the sun slowly rising on the horizon. The balloon ride takes about an hour and when you land you will be served champagne and a breakfast in the bush.
Northern Tanzania is famous for its coffee districts, which are set in hilly and beautiful surroundings. The day starts with a walk of about 1 hour to Materuni Waterfall which is beautifully situated in a lush green setting. You will then travel to a coffee farm where you will have lunch made from local products You will then be involved in the whole coffee process, from a coffee bean to a steaming cup, which is an interesting experience involving all the senses. The tour runs from about 9.30 - 15.30.
The locals in Tanzania are generally very friendly and happy to share their traditions. On this tour of Moshi, you'll get a glimpse of what their daily lives are like.
