3 Days Serengeti Safari

3 DaysSafariNgorongoroSerengeti

A short, big-hitting safari built around the greatest wildlife stage on earth. In three days you cross into the endless plains of the Serengeti and drop onto the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater on the way home.

It is the right choice when time is short but the Serengeti is non-negotiable. You stay in mid-range lodges and tented camps, and game drives are timed for the hours when the big cats hunt.

Pairs naturally with a Zanzibar beach stay or a day trip or two from Arusha. Just ask and we will build it around your dates.

Day 1Arusha to the Serengeti

Collected from your Arusha hotel after breakfast, you climb through the Ngorongoro highlands and descend to the endless plains of the Serengeti. Game drives begin the moment you enter the park, working the Seronera area for lion, giraffe and the first big herds before settling into camp for the night.

Day 2Full Day in the Serengeti

A full day to explore the heart of the Serengeti, from the acacia-dotted plains to the kopjes where lions lie up in the heat. Depending on the season your guide tracks the great migration and the predators that shadow it, with a picnic lunch out among the wildlife.
