Day 1: ARRIVAL IN ARUSHA

You will be picked up from the airport by a NDOVU AFRICAN EXPEDITIONS representative and driven to your accommodation in Arusha.

Day 2: TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

After breakfast, your NDOVU safari guide will collect you and drive you to Tarangire National Park (approx. 2.5 hours). Known for its elephant families and the “river of warthogs,” the park is rich in wildlife: giraffe, bushbuck, hartebeest, lions, and leopards.

Birdwatchers will be thrilled: more breeding bird species are found here than anywhere else in the world! Don’t miss the ancient Baobab trees, some over a thousand years old.

Day 3: NGORONGORO CRATER TO SERENGETI

Drive into the cooler highlands of Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The Ngorongoro Crater is a “forgotten world” of savannahs, acacia woodlands, lakes, and swamps.

Created by a collapsed volcano 2–3 million years ago, it spans 260 km² and hosts dense populations of large mammals including wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and the endangered black rhino.

Spot over 500 bird species! In the afternoon, continue to the southern Serengeti, entering one of Africa’s most famous
wildlife destinations.

DAY 4: SERENGETI TO KARATU

The Serengeti is spectacular! Its vast open plains provide excellent wildlife viewing. Witness the Great Migration of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope (seasonal). Predators like lion, cheetah, and leopard roam freely.

In the afternoon, start your journey back to Karatu, enjoying the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife along the way.

Enjoy a picnic lunch before returning to Arusha or the airport. Say farewell to your guide and reflect on an unforgettable adventure with NDOVU AFRICAN EXPEDITIONS.
