Day 1 · Arusha to Central Serengeti

Meet your driver-guide in Arusha early in the morning. The drive takes up much of the day, with the afternoon set aside for wildlife viewing once you reach Central Serengeti. Your guide will choose the game-drive route based on conditions and recent sightings. Spend the night in the Seronera area.

Day 2 · Serengeti game drive and Ngorongoro crater rim

Head out early to explore more of Central Serengeti while the air is cool. Your guide may follow river tracks or scan the open plains for predators and grazing animals. Later, travel to the crater rim and settle into camp. Pack a warm layer for the evening.

Day 3 · Ngorongoro Crater and return to Arusha

Start early and descend to the crater floor. Look for buffalo, zebras and hippos, with a chance of spotting a black rhino. Wildlife sightings vary. After the game drive and lunch, drive back to Arusha.

What the camping package covers

  • Shared 4×4 safari transport, game drives and an English-speaking driver-guide

How much does this Tanzania safari cost?

Request a price for your dates and group size. Sharing the vehicle and choosing public campsites helps keep the per-person cost down.

Include any flights, transfers and an arrival night when comparing your full trip budget.
