Upon arrival at Seronera Airstrip in the Central Serengeti, you will be warmly greeted by your guide and transferred to your lodge. After settling in and refreshing, embark on your first game drive in the Seronera area, an iconic region of the Serengeti known for its high wildlife density. The area’s river systems attract large groups of elephants and buffalo, while predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards are often spotted here. Return to your lodge in the evening to relax, enjoy dinner, and unwind under the African skies.
After a hearty breakfast, you’ll spend the day exploring the vast plains of the Central Serengeti, an area famous for its abundant wildlife. The region is home to various predators, including lions and leopards, and also offers opportunities to see massive herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive cheetah or a solitary rhino. With lunch served in the wilderness, your game drive continues until evening. As the sun sets over the plains, return to your lodge for a peaceful night’s rest.
This morning, depart from the Serengeti after breakfast and drive towards Ngorongoro Crater, with a brief stop at the Nyangoro Crater rim for scenic views. Upon arrival, you’ll enjoy a game drive in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The crater is home to a huge diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five – lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos. The lush grasslands, forests, and swamps within the crater floor provide ideal habitats for these animals. In the evening, drive to your lodge near the Ngorongoro Crater rim to relax and prepare for tomorrow’s game drive.
After breakfast, you’ll descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full morning of game viewing. The crater floor, often referred to as Africa’s Garden of Eden, is one of the best places to spot wildlife in its natural habitat. The early morning hours are perfect for encountering lions, elephants, and herds of wildebeests grazing peacefully. After a full morning of game viewing, you’ll ascend the crater and head back to the airstrip for your flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival in Zanzibar, transfer to your hotel where you’ll enjoy a relaxed evening by the beach.
Spend your next five days relaxing and soaking up the beauty of Zanzibar. The island offers much more than stunning beaches and resorts; it’s steeped in rich culture and history. Explore Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with winding streets and ancient buildings that tell the story of Zanzibar’s fascinating past.
