Day by Day
Depart Arusha early for a scenic seven-hour drive into the heart of the Serengeti. As the vast grasslands unfold, enjoy your first game drive before settling into your wilderness campsite for the evening.
Embark on a sunrise game drive to witness predators active in the cool morning air. Following lunch, journey toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, arriving at the crater rim's Simba Campsite for sunset views.
Descend into the UNESCO-listed caldera for a morning of exceptional wildlife viewing, including a picnic near the hippo pool. In the afternoon, ascend the crater walls and return to the city of Arusha.
Travel to the Marangu Gate for a guided trek through the dense rainforest to Mandara Hut. Encounter colobus monkeys and exotic birdlife before descending the mountain for your final transfer.
The dry months from June to October offer the clearest trekking conditions and peak wildlife viewing near water sources. January and February are also excellent, particularly for seeing the Serengeti's herds.
