DAY 3 • THE REFUGE OF THE AFRICAN "BIG FIVE"
In the morning, immediately after breakfast, thanks to our Tanzania safari tour operator, you will reach the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, declared WORLD HERITAGE SITE (UNESCO 1978) AND INTERNATIONAL BIOSPHERE RESERVE (1981). (Approximate transfer time Karatu•Ngorongoro Conservation Area: 30 min) The area has become a real ecosystem, thanks to the good rainfall, the ponds, the small lakes and internal streams, the night fog that surrounds and feeds the forests of the slopes of its famous crater. After a short stop at the crater rim, you will descend to the bottom of the caldera for a photo safari dedicated to the discovery of one of the most beautiful places on Earth, where nature is sovereign and “unchanged over time”. The 265 km² caldera has the highest concentration of wildlife on the continent. It is one of the very rare places where you can meet the black rhino. After lunch near the enchanting hippo lake, you will head up the crater out of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and reach the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight in the Serengeti National Park according to the chosen category. (Approximate transfer time Ngorongoro Crater•Serengeti: 2 h 30 min)
- Intimate Camp Seronera
- Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (B, L, D)
DAY 4 • THE LAND OF THE GREAT MIGRATION AND FELINES
The Serengeti is considered the most famous national park in the world, the cradle of the Great Migration, where every year one of the most impressive natural cycles on the planet is renewed: tens of thousands of ungulates move, guided by the primordial instinct for survival, in constant search of new pastures. The landscape, dotted with large acacias and Kopjes (mounds of ancient rocks), is the ideal habitat for big cats. As you go deeper into the heart of the Serengeti, you will understand why the name means, in the Maasai language, “boundless plain”. Your safari will continue to discover the park where there will be opportunities to spot families of giraffes and elephants, large prides of lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and smaller ones such as foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, along with more than 500 species of birds. The safari will end in the afternoon with the return to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay according to the chosen category.
- Intimate Camp Seronera
- Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (B, L, D)
DAY 5 • RETURN TO ARUSHA/KILIMANJARO AIRPORT
The 5 day safari in Tanzania is coming to an end. In the morning, after a short game drive, you will return to Arusha/Kilimanjaro in the late afternoon to catch your flight home. Along the street you will have the opportunity to go shopping to buy gifts and souvenirs in the characteristic local shops and bazaars.
(Approximate transfer time Serengeti•Arusha: 6 h • Serengeti•Kilimanjaro Airport: 7 h) Upon request and at an additional cost, it is possible to reduce the return time from the road safari by using domestic flights that connect the main airstrips in the Serengeti directly to the airports of Arusha (ARK), Kilimanjaro (JRO) or Zanzibar (ZNZ).
However, we are flexible and available in case of special needs, such as early flight or other.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO COMBINE THIS SAFARI WITH AN EXTENSION OF A BEACH STAY IN ZANZIBAR.
