Accommodation: Selected lodge or campsite
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Day 3: Journey to Central Serengeti
Depart after breakfast and travel through the Ngorongoro highlands toward Serengeti National Park.

Arrive at your camp or lodge for dinner and your first Serengeti overnight.
Accommodation: Central Serengeti camp or lodge
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Day 4: Full-Day Serengeti Safari
Spend a full day exploring Central Serengeti with your private guide.
The day’s route will reflect recent sightings and your interests. Travelers who enjoy photography can discuss time for observing animals and taking pictures. Families can agree on a suitable pace with their guide.
Depending on the camp location and planned drive, you may take lunch into the park or arrange a break at your accommodation.
A sunrise balloon safari can be requested as an optional activity, subject to availability and an additional charge.
Accommodation: Same Central Serengeti camp or lodge
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Day 5: Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Area
Enjoy a morning game drive before continuing toward the Ngorongoro area.
Your guide will plan departure around the onward journey, accommodation location, and park-entry arrangements. Wildlife viewing may continue along suitable sections of the route.
Spend the night near Ngorongoro or in Karatu, ready for the next morning’s crater excursion.
Accommodation: Selected lodge or campsite
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater and Return to Arusha
Start early and travel to Ngorongoro Crater for your final safari excursion.
Explore the crater floor with your guide, stopping for wildlife sightings and enjoying lunch at a designated location. Wildlife encounters vary, and particular species cannot be guaranteed.
After the game drive, return to Arusha. An airport transfer or additional hotel night can be arranged.
Share your flight details before confirming the package so we can check whether your departure time fits the final day’s journey.
Accommodation: Additional night available on request

Choose Your Safari Accommodation
Your accommodation affects the price, comfort, and daily travel arrangements. We will identify the proposed properties in your quotation so you can review them before booking.
| Category | Accommodation experience | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Budget camping | Tents, camping equipment, and shared campsite bathrooms | Travelers prioritizing affordability |
| Mid-range | Comfortable lodges or tented camps, usually with private bathrooms | Couples, families, and small groups |
| Luxury | Selected properties with higher levels of comfort, service, and facilities | Travelers seeking an upgraded stay |
Tented accommodation does not always mean basic camping. Many safari tented camps offer proper beds, private bathrooms, and restaurant meals. Facilities depend on the property selected.
Private and Shared Safari Options
A private Tanzania safari gives your party a dedicated vehicle and guide. It allows greater flexibility when choosing your route, accommodation, and number of nights in each destination.
Shared safaris follow a scheduled itinerary with other travelers. They can offer a more affordable option for solo travelers and couples comfortable with a group schedule.
Kilipath shared safari vehicles accommodate a maximum of seven travelers with guaranteed window seats. Shared routes have fixed overnight arrangements; the two-night Serengeti stay in this proposed package applies to the private itinerary.
