Tour Plan
- You’ll be collected from the airport.
- Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.
Following breakfast, your journey to Serengeti will begin at 7:30am. You’ll travel along a lengthy and somewhat bumpy road, providing you with a fascinating en-route game drive. This route will lead you through the crater highlands, eventually opening up to the vast Serengeti plains.
The drive typically takes about six to seven hours. Should the weather be clear, you’ll make a brief stop at the crater viewpoint past the Ngorongoro gate. Here, you can take a quick 10-minute break to marvel at the Ngorongoro Crater from above before you continue your journey to Serengeti.
You’ll take a break for a hot lunch at the Serengeti Naabi Hill gate, and then proceed to check in at the park for an afternoon game drive. As the sun sets, you’ll make your way to your campsite for dinner and your overnight stay.
NB: You’ll have the opportunity to visit a Maasai village at no extra cost. However, it’s become a more commercial experience in recent years, causing most guests to opt out.

This unique place is home to a wide variety of East African wildlife, including the rare black rhino. If you’re lucky, you might spot one. The crater is quite large, about 260 square kilometres in size and with a diameter of approximately 20 kilometres, so you’ll spend around five to six hours exploring it.
