Overview

Tanzania's most celebrated wildlife circuit: and with Kenya's Maasai Mara now charging $200 per person per day versus the Serengeti's $180, increasingly the best-value Big Five destination in East Africa. Begin at the volcanic wonder of Ngorongoro Crater, then journey north into the Serengeti to follow the Great Migration across Africa's most iconic plains.

Trip Highlights

Full day in the Ngorongoro Crater, the 'Garden of Eden'

Three full days in the Northern Serengeti tracking the migration

Olduvai Gorge: the cradle of mankind

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Our driver meets you at your Arusha hotel or Kilimanjaro International Airport. Drive west along the scenic highlands road to Ngorongoro. Descend into the caldera for an introductory game drive and a picnic lunch at one of the famous picnic spots within the crater. The crater floor is home to huge concentrations of wildlife: lion, elephant, black rhino, hippo and countless plains game. In the evening, ascend to the crater rim and check in at the lodge for dinner.
