Drive to Central Serengeti on day one for an afternoon game drive. Spend the next morning exploring the Seronera area before heading toward Ngorongoro. Visit the crater on day three and return to Arusha in the afternoon. For a shared departure, plan to sleep in Arusha the night before the safari.

Shared or private safari?
A shared safari follows a set route with up to seven guests per jeep and a window seat for each traveler. A private safari gives your party its own vehicle and guide, with more flexibility for photo stops and pacing. Ask about camping or lodge options for your preferred route.
What does the package cost?
Your quote depends on your dates, group size, room arrangements and choice of vehicle. Your written proposal will specify accommodation, meals, guide and vehicle service, conservation fees, the crater vehicle fee and any airport transfers you request.
Can I see all of the Big Five in the crater?
All five are found in the area, and the crater floor offers a chance to spot black rhinos. Wildlife sightings vary, so bring binoculars for animals at a distance. Ngorongoro Conservation Area visitor brochure
