On your safari to the Central and Western Serengeti, you’ll witness exciting and memorable predator-prey interactions during the annual spectacle of the Great Migration. You’ll encounter African wildlife in a closeness you wouldn’t expect. Closer than in any zoo in the world. In the Serengeti, television images and clichés become reality.
On the way to the Serengeti, you will make a stopover in a Maasai village. You will be greeted with the famous jumping dances of the young warriors and singing.
In the Ngorongoro Crater, the famous Big Five are waiting for you. Nowhere in Africa is the probability of seeing the “Big Five” (elephant, lion, rhino, leopard, and buffalo) greater than here.
At Lake Eyasi you will visit the Hadzabe Bushmen, one of the last remaining groups of hunter-gatherers in Africa. Even today, they use bows and arrows for hunting.

Today we welcome you at Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport (ARK). We will discuss your travel plans and answer your questions over a cup of original Tanzanian Arabica coffee or a cool refreshment. After that, your safari will begin. Today’s destination is Karatu. Where you will spend the night at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge. Located in the green Marera valley just before Karatu village. The journey takes about 2 hours. From your window seat, you can relax and enjoy the view of the passing landscape and the many small villages and markets along the road.
The Ngorongoro Crater in the Ngorongoro Nature Reserve is a volcanic caldera inhabited by a variety of wildlife species. The crater is 610 m deep and is home to over 30,000 large animals. Ngorongoro is an iconic unique place to see rare black rhinos, as well as other species such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, serval cats, zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, hippos, buffaloes, elephants, monkeys and bird species such as crowned cranes, eagle pelicans, and flamingos. After an early breakfast and a short drive through still-cloudy, mystical forests, we descend deep into the crater. With a bit of luck, you will have the opportunity to take photos of the black rhinos, which have become rare. You will look in vain for giraffes. They do not succeed in climbing up into the highlands and the crater.
After a warm lunch, which you will enjoy in the crater at Lake Magadi, we will make our way to your next destination – the Serengeti
Overnight in Tukaone Serengeti Camp or Golden Safari Camp
Serengeti National Park is Tanzania’s most famous national park with endless plains and an abundance of fauna and flora. Siringet from the Maasai language means endless plain. The Serengeti covers 14,763 km² in northern Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya. Serengeti is the main wildlife ecosystem for wildebeest migration, migrating from the southern plains of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Nature Reserve to the northern Maasai Mara in search of grazing land and water. The Serengeti is home to predators such as cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, and lions, while along the rivers is the territory of hippos, crocodiles, and leopards. Large herds of elephants, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles, impalas, and hartebeest, populate the landscape.
Overnight in Tukaone Serengeti Camp or
Golden Safari Camp
On their Safari in the Serengeti, you will have countless opportunities for spectacular wildlife photos. You will enjoy the magic of the Serengeti with its unique landscape and an incredible variety of African wildlife up close that you will not find in any zoo. With an optional hot air balloon ride, you can add another highlight to your safari and experience a sunrise like you’ll only find in the Serengeti. You will spend the night in the middle of the wilderness. Who wouldn’t think of “Out of Africa” now?
Early in the morning of your second day in the Serengeti, you will have to get up early. We make our way back to Karatu. Getting up early will be rewarded with seeing lions and other predators end their long night of hunting before spending the rest of the day full and lazy in the shade. On our way, you will have the opportunity to visit a Maasai village. A visit to a Maasai Boma is a cultural highlight of your safari and is as much a part of Tanzania as lions and elephants. During our visit, the host will welcome you and greet you with the traditional jumping dances of the young warriors and the common singing of villagers.
A visit to a Hadzabe village begins before sunrise. They watch the hunters as they demonstrate their hunting techniques and practices with which they attract and kill their prey.
The Hadzabe are an indigenous ethnic group of about 2,000 people in Tanzania. They are one of the last remaining groups of hunter-gatherers in Africa and have lived in the region for thousands of years. They have their language, which is similar to that of the Kalahari Bushmen with its click sounds but is not related to it. The Hadzabe people are known for their traditional hunting and gathering practices. Tools such as bows, arrows, and digging sticks are still used today. They collect honey, berries, and other wild fruits and nuts.
Unfortunately, your safari adventure in Tanzania comes to an end with a visit to the Hadzabe on Lake Eyasi. After a last warm lunch in the bush, we make our way back to Arusha. Your safari guide will make sure you catch your flight home or your connecting flight to Zanzibar on time
