Day by day itinerary
Day 1: Zanzibar-Central Serengeti National Park
You’ll arrive at Seronera Airstrip at approximately 11:00 am. At hand to receive you will be our safari guide, who will have a picnic lunch for you and be ready for the safari. Then, you will embark on your safari, stopping at around 1:00 pm for lunch. After that, you will continue with your game drive, searching for the big cats of Serengeti and herbivores. Finally, you will drive back to your camp in the evening in time for dinner and your overnight stay at Kontiki Serengeti Camp.
Overnight at Kontiki Serengeti Camp
Day 2: Northern Serengeti National Park
You will have breakfast at the camp and depart for your full-day game drive in northern Serengeti along the Mara River to witness the wildebeest crossing the river.
The Serengeti landscape is of mesmerizing beauty. While a sizable part of the park consists of seasonally flooded plains, forests, and shrub savannahs, the Serengeti is primarily about one thing: grassy plains.
Being surrounded by millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles is an experience of a lifetime. In their annual migration north, they stampede over vast open plains and plunge into crocodile-infested rivers, all while the predators endlessly hunt them.
After your picnic lunch on the Serengeti plains, you continue your game drive until the evening. You’ll return to the camp as the sun sets over the horizon to wind down next to the crackling bushfire.
Accomodation : Kontiki Serengeti Camp
Day 3: Northern Serengeti to Central Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will proceed with full-day game drive safaris in the Serengeti, exploring the rolling plains of Serengeti National Park in search of large predators and the gentle herbivores on which they feed. In the late afternoon, you will drive back to your lodge for a hot lunch. Then, after lunch, you will continue with game drive until sunset, when you will drive back to your accommodation for relaxation and overnight stay.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater
After a tasty breakfast, you’ll collect your picnic lunches, and today, you will visit one of the seven African wonders, the Ngorongoro Crater. It was created when a huge volcano erupted two million years ago. The fertile lava has created a unique ecosystem; the crater has the highest concentration of animals anywhere in Africa.
The Ngorongoro Crater is home to many lion families, buffalos, zebras, wildebeests, and many more species. And nowhere else offers a chance as good as this to spot the rare black rhino.
After a great day in Ngorongoro Crater, your driver-guide will transfer you to the Farm of Dream Lodge for a relaxing dinner and an overnight stay.
Accomodation: Farm of Dreams Lodge
Day 5: Tarangire National Park to Arusha
You’ll begin the day with wonderful memories!
Your safari tour begins with a delectable breakfast with picnic lunch boxes. The tour will take 2 hours. Along the route, you’ll witness several locals going about their daily lives, which provides an opportunity for learning and discovery. If you see anything fascinating along the road, you can stop the vehicle. After lunch, our guide will drive you to Arusha airport / JRO, where our services end.
Tarangire, located somewhat off the main safari road, is home to a big herd of elephants. The park’s terrain is breathtaking, dotted by ancient baobab trees. Other creatures you might encounter on the game drive include buffaloes, lions, kudu, zebras, and gazelles. Following an unforgettable wildlife drive, you will return to the lodge for dinner and sleep.
