The shape of the trip

A complete route, with room for your own pace.

This safari combines the endless plains of Central Serengeti with the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. It is designed for travellers who want the two headline wildlife areas in a short route: a scenic transfer from Arusha into Serengeti, one full day in the Seronera region, then a crater descent before returning toward Arusha and Zanzibar.
