Journey to the Serengeti

Today, an early start takes you into the heart of Tanzania’s most iconic safari destination: the Serengeti National Park. The transfer time from Karatu to the Serengeti is approximately 3 hours. The drive leads through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where traditional Maasai communities live alongside free-roaming wildlife—a true harmony of culture and nature. As you enter the Serengeti, vast plains stretch endlessly before you. Acacia trees stand like watchful sentinels, and the savanna hums with life. You’ll enjoy a thrilling game drive en route to your accommodation, with chances to spot cheetahs, lions, gazelles, and maybe even the elusive leopard.

Tonight, stay under canvas at Land of Nature Camp, a classic tented camp offering a truly immersive safari experience. Fall asleep to the distant roar of lions and the rustle of the Serengeti breeze.

Your day begins with sunrise over the Serengeti—a golden glow bathing the plains in soft light. After breakfast, you’ll spend the full day on game drives, tracking wildlife through different habitats, from rocky kopjes to grassy savannas. Marvel at elephants on the move, hyenas scavenging, and prides of lions napping under shady trees.

The Serengeti is also a birdwatcher’s dream, with over 500 species including ostriches, storks, and the vibrantly coloured lilac-breasted roller. Lunch is a picnic in the bush or back at camp—your choice—before you head out for an afternoon drive. As the sun sets, toast the day with a classic sundowner before returning to camp for dinner beneath the stars. An optional Hot Air Balloon Safari is available in the Serengeti at an additional cost.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro

After breakfast, say goodbye to the Serengeti and begin your journey to one of nature’s greatest marvels: the Ngorongoro Crater. This massive volcanic caldera shelters a thriving ecosystem, including the densest population of lions in Africa. Descend 600 meters into the lush crater floor, where you may spot endangered black rhinos grazing, hippos wallowing in swamps, and elephants wandering beneath fig trees. It’s also a great place to complete your Big Five checklist. Later in the day, return to Farm House Valley in Karatu for another restful night and a chance to reflect on your incredible sightings. Early morning transfer takes approximately 2.5 hours to reach Ngorongoro Crater for early descent.

Look out for buffalo, zebras, giraffes, and the rare fringe-eared oryx. The scenery is breathtaking and peaceful, perfect for a relaxed final day of safari.
