Day by day
Arusha
On arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you’ll be met by a Wildlife Safari representative who will escort you to Four Points by Sheraton Arusha to recuperate from your international flight. Settle in and spend the day at your leisure.
Serengeti
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before a road transfer to Arusha Airport for your light aircraft flight into the Serengeti. On arrival, you’ll be welcomed and transferred to Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp, set on a ridge with panoramic views of the Serengeti. Settle in and enjoy lunch before heading off on an afternoon game drive, returning for dinner in the camps dining room, followed by a crackling fire in the central fire pit.
Serengeti
Rise to the sound of the birds, enjoy a hot cup of coffee and set off on your morning game drive where you’ll be spotting herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle, along with buffalo, elephant, giraffes and many more. The game viewing here won’t disappoint, whenever you travel, it’s truly remarkable! Back at the camp enjoy meals, spend some time catching up with yourself on your private outdoor terrace, absorbing the surrounding panoramic views. End the day with dinner and a campfire as the sounds of the night fill the air.
Serengeti
Another day to experience this vast and un-spoilt wilderness. Besides the seasonal wildebeest migration for which the park is famous, it also supports a large diversity of game that wanders the open plains. You’ll always be on the lookout for the Big-5 – lion, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo and the elusive leopard – perhaps you’ll even be lucky enough to see a predator stalking its prey. Enjoy meals and leisure time at the lodge.
Ngorongoro Crater
A final game drive through the Serengeti, breakfast and head off to the airstrip for your flight to Lake Manyara airstrip. You’ll be met on arrival and transferred on a scenic two-hour drive to your accommodation. Arrive, in time for lunch, at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge – perched on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater. The afternoon is at leisure to enjoy the magnificent views of the crater floor or take an optional visit to the local Masai village before enjoying dinner at the lodge.
Ngorongoro Crater
An early morning start to the day before descending the narrow track to the crater floor, where you’ll enjoy a picnic breakfast. Explore this Eden-like setting on the myriad of tracks around the crater floor, a mini biosphere with multitudes of animal and bird species, including the black rhino. In the early afternoon, you’ll make your up the narrow track for a late lunch with the rest of the afternoon at leisure. End the day with a view and dinner in the restaurant.

Destinations on this trip
Tanzania is an East African safari powerhouse, not least because in the Serengeti it features one of the greatest of all wilderness areas, and the backdrop for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration. Factor in Indian Ocean Islands, too, and it’s clear that Tanzania safaris can be all things to all people.
The Serengeti takes its name from a Maasai word meaning ‘where the land runs on forever’. It’s one of the most evocative and iconic safari destinations of all – not least because it’s the stage on which much of the drama of the Great Wildebeest Migration is played out each year.
Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater from one of the luxury lodges perched on its rim is one of the most remarkable safari experiences available in Tanzania. Driving across an ancient volcanic caldera, the wildlife may seem familiar, but the setting is quite unique, and this makes for wonderful photographic opportunities.
