4 Days Ngorongoro Crater · Serengeti National Park Private safari

From $2,300 per person

Safari Overview

This refined four-day expedition is meticulously designed for the discerning traveller who values wildlife encounters over long road transfers. By combining traditional 4x4 exploration with a regional flight, we maximise your time among the animals, ensuring a comfortable transition from the rugged savannah to the tropical allure of the coast.

Your journey begins in the dramatic depths of the Ngorongoro Crater, a geological marvel teeming with the Big Five, before venturing into the heart of the Serengeti. Here, the vast acacia-studded plains provide the stage for nature’s most impressive displays, from resident prides of lions to the elegant silhouettes of cheetahs on the hunt.

The safari concludes with a scenic departure from the Seronera airstrip. Instead of a lengthy return drive to Arusha, you will soar over the East African landscape directly to Zanzibar, allowing your adventure to transition effortlessly from a high-energy safari to the tranquil relaxation of the Indian Ocean.
