Lions, panthers, cheetahs, elephants and a variety of wild animals meander lazily on grassy plains while Masai warriors watch out for their herds of cattle from a distance. Join us on this short, three-day trip to explore two of Tanzania's most famous nature reserves: Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Ngorongoro, on the other hand, is known for a dense concentration of wildlife in a relatively small area as well as its volcanic caldera.

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

Step onto the legendary Marangu Route—famously dubbed the “Coca-Cola” route—for a classic 6-day Kilimanjaro trek.
