DAY ONE - ZANZIBAR TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
In the morning, you will leave Zanzibar and board a flight bound for the Serengeti National Park. As you fly over Tanzania's breathtaking landscape, you can sit back and enjoy the view.
Upon your arrival in the Serengeti, your Safari driver will be there to greet you, and you will embark on a full day of exploring the Serengeti National Park. Your day will be filled with exciting activities like tracking the vast herds of zebras and wildebeests, spotting lions basking on rocks, observing elusive leopards in acacia trees, and admiring the grace of elephants and giraffes as they graze.
While on your Serengeti fly-in safari adventure, you will have a picnic lunch to keep you energized before returning to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

DAY TWO - SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK - NGORONGORO
You'll wake early for a sunrise game drive on the Serengeti, which offers you the best opportunity to see predators in action. You'll also have the chance to see a stunning Serengeti sunrise as the rising sun seems to set fire to the savannah.
After a late breakfast, it's time to head to Ngorongoro. The drive is a game drive all of its own, and your driver will do his best to ensure you spot the Big Five, Wildebeest Migration, or whatever else your heart might desire along the way.
Once you've departed the park, you can continue directly to your accommodation to relax. Alternatively, you may wish to experience one or both of the below optional cultural activities:
-
Oldupai Gorge Museum: Sometimes known as the Cradle of Mankind, the Oldupai Gorge Museum commemorates some of the oldest evidence of human habitation ever found. Here you can see some of the oldest fossil evidence in the world of human habitation, visit the Oldupai Gorge Museum to learn more about the human journey, and take in the stunning views of this stark gorge country.
-
Maasai boma visit: Pay a visit to one of the famous Maasai bomas, where you'll have the opportunity to witness (and participate in) traditional Maasai dance, tour an authentic Maasai village, and even do a little souvenir shopping at the local market.
Both of the above activities attract an additional cost. Speak with your safari expert about adding them to your itinerary.
You'll then retire to your accommodations for dinner and a good night's sleep.

DAY THREE - NGORONGORO - ARUSHA - ZANZIBAR
After breakfast, you'll depart for Ngorongoro Crater; considered by some to be the Eighth Wonder of the World. When you get your first glimpse of this vast, verdant caldera from the panoramic viewpoint, you'll soon understand why it has earned such a lofty reputation.
Home to over 120 species of mammal including the fabled Big Five, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most sought after safari destinations in the world. It's a particularly good place to see the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a lonely meal out on the grassy plains, as well as a place to see large numbers of hippopotamuses enjoying the cool water.
From the comfort of your open-top vehicle, you'll be able to observe and photograph some of Africa's most recognizable faces. The crater is home to a large number of predators including lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas, as well as a large population of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, cape buffalo, and more. It is truly one of Africa's premier safari destinations.
After the thrills and excitement of the day, you will have a picnic lunch by the park's famous hippo pool before returning to Arusha to catch flight back to Zanzibar
