Day 1

Arusha – Ngorongoro
3 ½ Hour Drive
Meals: Lunch, Dinner

7:30 am: Your Africa Kenya Safaris driver/guide will pick you up from the location of your choosing. Hop into your 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep and we’ll head out passing through Maasai regions, on our way to the Ngorongoro.

We’ll arrive at the crater’s rim and take in the colorful expanse of this wonder of the world. Hang on as we descend the crater wall in our safari Jeep, landing in a colorful ecosystem that supports a never-ending variety of wildlife – lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, elephant and so much more.

At Lake Magadi, we can pause for lunch as we take in hippos, cranes, ostriches, and flamingoes. A day here in the depths of Ngorongoro is like being immersed in a colorful canvas of wildlife.

Then, toward late afternoon we’ll head back up the crater wall to be met by one of Africa’s most dazzling sunsets.

Our first safari night will be at our Ngorongoro lodge or tented camp.

Day 2

Ngorongoro – Serengeti National Park
3 Hour Drive
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

A double treat – we’ll get up before the sun and head back to the crater’s rim for a perfect Ngorongoro sunrise!

The next stop on our route to the Serengeti will be Olduvai Gorge. Here we’ll see and learn about the vast numbers of fossilized artifacts discovered in the earth’s fissures that open before us. It’s a world-famous accounting of humankind’s culture, use of tools, and display of its development.

Now it’s time to enter the immense reaches of Serengeti National Park, Tanzania’s largest. The vast treeless expanse holds multitudes of wildlife – wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, plus leopards, lions, and cheetahs.

This evening, we’ll kick back and relax at our Serengeti lodge or tented camp with much to recount from our busy day.

Day 3

Full Day at Serengeti
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner

At Africa Kenya Safaris we always offer unlimited game drives when possible. This is one of those days! We’ll spend our time exploring this “Seven Natural Wonders of Africa” site with its startling numbers of game and brilliant bird species.

Besides all the animal life for which the park is famous, your guide will also be tracking for and showing you the park’s many smaller species like monkey, baboon, honey badger, and even wild African dogs.

And not all the wildlife here is strictly land-based, we’ll explore the reserve’s marshes and rivers for hippos and even crocodiles. There’s no limit to the animal sightings at Serengeti.

Our final safari night will be at our Serengeti accommodation.
