5-Day Exclusive Luxury Safari in Serengeti & Ngorongoro

“Jambo” means “hello” and a warm welcome to Tanzania! Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, one of our friendly drivers will be there to greet you and transfer you to your hotel in Arusha (approximately a 1-hour drive), where you can enjoy beautiful views of Mount Meru. Dinner and an overnight stay will be arranged for you, allowing you to relax and unwind after your journey. If you arrive early, you may also have the opportunity to take a short tour and explore Arusha city.

After breakfast, our driver will pick you up from Arusha Serena Hotel at 8:00 AM and transfer you to Arusha Airport, just a few minutes away. You will board your flight departing at 10:00 AM and arrive in the Serengeti by 10:30 AM. Upon arrival, you will meet our driver and begin your game drive through the iconic Serengeti plains, home to abundant wildlife including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest. You will stop for lunch inside the park, enjoying the stunning scenery and the sounds of nature. The game drive continues until late afternoon, after which you will be transferred to your luxury lodge for dinner and an overnight stay, relaxing in comfort amidst the breathtaking Serengeti landscape.

Today, we recommend spending some time relaxing at the lodge, where you may even spot animals such as elephants visiting the waterholes near the property. You also have the option to enjoy a morning walking safari around the lodge grounds for a closer encounter with nature. After lunch, you will depart for an afternoon game drive, when the sun is lower and wildlife, including lions, becomes more active. This is the perfect time to spot animals and capture stunning photos during the golden sunset. Around 5:30 PM, you will return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Today marks your final safari in the Serengeti National Park. You have the option to enhance your experience with an early-morning hot-air balloon safari (available at an additional cost), offering one of the most breathtaking ways to witness the Serengeti sunrise and enjoy spectacular aerial views of the wildlife and landscapes. Alternatively, you may continue with a morning game drive in the Serengeti. After a bush lunch, you will proceed with a scenic drive toward the Ngorongoro, where you will arrive at your accommodation on the crater rim for dinner and relaxation.

Early in the morning, you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the Ngorongoro Crater from your lodge located on the crater rim, offering one of the most spectacular natural panoramas in Africa. This will be followed by breakfast at the lodge, overlooking the misty crater floor as the sun rises over the landscape. After breakfast, you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full-day game drive. The crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places in Africa to see a wide variety of wildlife in a single area. You will have excellent opportunities to spot lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, and the rare black rhino, all within the stunning scenery of the crater floor, which features grasslands, forests, and soda lakes. You will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the crater while continuing your game viewing experience. In the afternoon, after the game drive, you will ascend from the crater and drive back to Arusha.
