5-Day Four Seasons Serengeti & Ngorongoro Luxury Safari

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met by our team and transferred to Arusha Serena Hotel. After checking in and getting comfortable, the rest of the day is free for you to relax and enjoy your surroundings. You can relax by the pool, enjoy the beautiful views of Mount Meru, take a walk through the gardens, or simply rest after your flight. If you arrive early and would like to explore, you can choose from optional activities such as canoeing at Lake Duluti, an Arusha city tour, horse riding, or a cultural tour where you can experience the local way of life and traditions.

After breakfast, our driver will pick you up from Arusha Serena Hotel at 8:30 AM and transfer you to Arusha Airport, which is about a 25-minute drive away. You will take your scheduled flight at 10:00 AM and arrive in Serengeti National Park at around 10:30 AM. Upon arrival, you will meet your safari guide and begin your first game drive across the famous Serengeti plains. This incredible park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest. You will enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park while taking in the beautiful landscapes and peaceful surroundings. In the afternoon, you will continue your game drive, exploring more areas of the Serengeti and searching for more wildlife. Later in the day, you will head to your lodge for dinner, relaxation, and an overnight stay surrounded by the beauty of the Serengeti wilderness.

Today, we recommend spending some time relaxing at the lodge (Four Seasons Safari 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 is your final safari experience in the Serengeti National Park. You can choose to start the day with an early-morning hot-air balloon safari (available at an additional cost), a memorable experience that allows you to watch the sunrise over the Serengeti and enjoy incredible views of the wildlife and landscapes from above. Alternatively, you can enjoy a morning game drive in the park, continuing your search for the amazing wildlife of the Serengeti. After a picnic lunch in the bush, you will begin your trasnfer game drive toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Upon arrival, you will check in at your accommodation located on the crater rim, offering beautiful views of the Ngorongoro Crater. Enjoy dinner and a relaxing evening surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of this unique destination.

Wake up in the morning and enjoy a breathtaking view of the Ngorongoro Crater from your lodge on the crater rim, offering one of Africa’s most spectacular natural panoramas. Enjoy breakfast at the lodge while overlooking the misty crater floor as the sun rises over the beautiful landscape. After breakfast, 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 diverse wildlife in one location. You will have excellent opportunities to spot lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, and the rare black rhino, surrounded by stunning grasslands, forests, and soda lakes. Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the crater while continuing your wildlife viewing experience. In the afternoon, after the game drive, ascend from the crater and drive back to Arusha.
