Following a delightful breakfast, you will be transferred to Arusha Airport for your onward flight to the iconic Serengeti. Upon arrival, your Tanzanian guide will warmly welcome you, and you’ll then proceed to check in at the Baobab Serengeti Camp, where you will spend the next three nights. After a satisfying lunch, get ready to embark on your first exhilarating game drive in the legendary Serengeti, known around the globe for its exceptional wildlife encounters. The Serengeti’s vast and captivating landscapes are teeming with remarkable creatures. It’s a thrilling opportunity to witness the incredible beauty of nature at its best.

Today’s journey through the Serengeti is a tale of two paths, one weaving morning and afternoon excursions, the other an unfolding adventure that lasts the entire day, it’s your choice. Both lead to the Seronera area, a treasure trove in the Serengeti, where nature’s grandeur comes alive in the most remarkable ways.

As you traverse these wild lands, the iconic scenes of the annual migration may capture your heart, but the Serengeti has many other riches to unveil. Its lions prowl with a majestic authority, cheetahs sprint with a grace unmatched, and herds of zebra and giraffe move like synchronized poems in motion. The Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelles prance, the eland and impala grace the plains, and the klipspringer, hippo, and warthog add character to this vibrant ecosystem.

In the Serengeti’s embrace, the grand ballet of life plays out, and you have a front-row seat to nature’s most spectacular show.

Prepare yourself for an enthralling experience as you spend the day immersed in the Serengeti, embarking on morning and afternoon game drives through a landscape teeming with life. Known as one of the most densely populated wildlife havens on Earth, the Serengeti’s plains are a captivating tableau of natural wonders.

Your journey will not only allow you to witness the raw beauty of the wild but also provide an opportunity for an unforgettable adventure. Should you choose, the morning may unfold from the skies, as you drift over the Serengeti in a hot air balloon. This optional experience, available at an additional cost, lets you witness the vast wilderness from a breathtaking perspective.

Whether by land or air, your day in the Serengeti will surely be etched in your memory, a symphony of sights and sounds that embodies the very essence of the wild.

Begin your day with breakfast before setting off on a game drive through the vast Serengeti. The journey takes you to the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, with stops at some remarkable sites along the way.

First we’ll pay a visit to a traditional Masai homestead (Manyatta) to immerse yourself in local culture, providing a glimpse into their unique way of life.

Next you’ll visit the world-renowned Olduvai Gorge, often referred to as the ‘Cradle of Mankind.’ This paleontological site offers fascinating insights into human evolution.

Continue to the Ngorongoro area, checking in to the new Acacia Ngorongoro Luxury Camp. Nestled within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and a mere 20-minute drive from the crater, Acacia Ngorongoro Luxury Camp serves as an exceptional starting point for exploring its diverse attractions and activities.  With only 10 rooms available, guests are treated to exclusive hospitality amidst natural and cultural wonders, all just a stone’s throw away.

An early rise heralds the promise of an unforgettable day as you descend into the Ngorongoro Crater with a packed breakfast. Known as ‘the eighth wonder of the world’, this vast volcanic crater, covering 264 square kilometres, is a microcosm of African ecosystems, with grasslands, swamps, forests, and a fresh-water lake encased within its towering walls. It’s an environment where you can witness the vibrant pulse of the wild, as it offers a concentration of wildlife rarely seen anywhere else on Earth.

After absorbing the crater’s magnificence, the journey takes a touching turn with a visit to our local school project, Simba Milima Primary School. Here, you’ll interact with the eager students and understand their world.

Your day of profound experiences culminates with a late lunch and some well-deserved relaxation at the Manyara Escarpment Luxury Lodge, a place of comfort set against the backdrop of natural beauty.

Awaken at dawn, when the air is crisp and full of anticipation. Your early morning game drive to Lake Manyara awaits, where nature’s marvels unfold in every direction. Among the wonders are the park’s famed ‘tree-climbing lions’ – a rare and fascinating sight to behold.

After your exploration, two paths lie before you: either fly to the alluring shores of Zanzibar for a well-deserved post-safari repose or journey back to Arusha.

If you choose the latter, a late lunch at the elegant Arusha Coffee Lodge is the perfect way to bid farewell to Tanzania’s natural splendour. Then, with memories tucked securely in your heart, you’ll be escorted to Kilimanjaro airport for your homeward flight. Either choice promises the satisfying conclusion to an extraordinary adventure.
