Serengeti-ngorongoro Crater Budget Camp Joining

After an early breakfast, you’ll depart from Arusha for the Serengeti, the world’s most famous national park. The drive, though long, is spectacular. You’ll ascend the crater highlands, pausing briefly at the rim for an unforgettable view of the Ngorongoro Crater—an awe-inspiring sight, especially for first-time visitors.

As you journey deeper into the Serengeti, you’ll understand why its name means “endless plains” in the local language. Spanning 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometers), the plains stretch to the horizon, challenging your sense of distance. The park is home to the great migration, with 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and numerous antelope species, including abundant impalas and Thomson’s gazelles. For big cat and predator enthusiasts, the Serengeti is the prime location to spot lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas.

We recommend an early wake-up today for a morning game drive, when the animals are most active, and to witness one of the most breathtaking sunrises you’ll ever see.

After the game drive, return to the camp for a rewarding brunch before heading to Ngorongoro, often called the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. This crater spans 102 square miles and has 2,000-foot-high walls, making it a natural Noah’s Ark that hosts nearly every species of wildlife indigenious to East Africa. It is one of the few places on the continent where you can see black rhinos. The crater boasts the highest concentration of African wildlife, including a river, several swamps, a soda lake teeming with flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It’s also renowned for its elephants, the largest in the world, known for their enormous tusks due to the mineral-rich volcanic soil and grasses.

Start your final safari day before sunrise as you descend 600 meters into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the crater is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, and the rare black rhino. The early morning hours provide the best opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography as animals are most active across the crater floor.

After an exciting Ngorongoro Crater game drive, enjoy a scenic picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo Pool, surrounded by stunning landscapes and abundant birdlife. Following lunch, continue exploring this natural wildlife sanctuary with a final game drive, offering more chances to spot the Big Five and other iconic African animals. In the afternoon, ascend the crater walls and begin your journey back to Arusha, arriving at approximately 5:30 p.m. with unforgettable memories of your Tanzania safari adventure.
