Itinerary

Venture into the heart of Tanzania’s natural wonders on the 4 Day Ngorongoro Crater Safari Experience. Discover the legendary “Big Five” within the world’s largest unbroken caldera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rising 7,500 feet above sea level. Surrounded by towering crater walls, this natural amphitheater teems with life—wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, elephants, and rare black rhinos among the 30,000 resident animals.

Beyond the crater, marvel at giraffes on the rim, flocks of flamingos covering Manyara’s soda lake, and over 100 unique bird species. The safari also offers the possibility of leopard and cheetah sightings, making every drive an adventure.

The unique advantage of this tour package is its remarkable wildlife density and the near-guaranteed opportunity to see all of Africa’s iconic animals in a compact, stunning setting—ideal for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike.

day 1 - Lake Manyara National Park Game Viewing

We will depart from Arusha with lunch boxes for Lake Manyara National Park for a day of game viewing.

The scenic beauty of Manyara is the main reason to travel here and certainly deserves a visit and is best used as a soft introduction to a safari. It’s also famous for the thousands of pink flamingos around the breathtaking soda-ash Lake Manyara.

Dinner and overnight at your campground concludes the day.

Duration:24 hours

day 2 - See Olduvai Gorge - The "Cradle of Civilization"

After breakfast, we depart with lunch boxes for Serengeti game viewing via Olduvai Gorge and Ndutu Area.

Olduvai Gorge is a steep-sided ravine in the Great Rift Valley that stretches through eastern Africa known for the discovery of the Neanderthal Man by Dr. Leaky In 1959. It is called the "cradle of civilization".

After a day here, it's on to dinner and overnight at the Seronera Campground.

Duration:24 hours

day 3 - Game Viewing in Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, we go for game viewing in Serengeti National Park. This is the centerpiece of a visit to Tanzania - a true safari experience.

Highlights might include the annual Serengeti wildlife migration. It's nature at her most extravagant - involving hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra and antelope running the gauntlet of predators as they migrate around the Serengeti and through the African ecosystem.

After a hot lunch proceed to Ngoongoro Crater for dinner and overnight at your campground.

Duration:24 hours

Accommodation: Camping

day 4 - The Ngorongoro Crater Experience - Natures Caldron
