Why Choose a 3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari?

This safari combines the famous Serengeti ecosystem with the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater in one short adventure. Serengeti is known for its large animal populations and the seasonal Great Wildebeest Migration, while Ngorongoro offers excellent opportunities to see diverse wildlife within its unique volcanic landscape.

It is a great choice for travelers who want a memorable Tanzania safari after climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or before continuing to Zanzibar.

Day 1: Arusha to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, depart from Arusha and travel toward Serengeti National Park through the scenic landscapes of northern Tanzania. Enjoy a picnic lunch along the way, depending on your arrangements, before entering the Serengeti for an afternoon game drive. Search for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife across the open plains. Dinner and overnight stay at your selected lodge or tented camp.

Day 2: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Begin the day with an early breakfast and a morning game drive in the Serengeti. Look for predators and grazing animals while enjoying the beautiful morning scenery. After wildlife viewing, travel toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with additional game viewing opportunities depending on the route and schedule. Arrive at your accommodation in the Ngorongoro highlands or Karatu area for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha

After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a memorable game drive. The crater floor is home to many animals, including lions, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, and hippos. With luck, you may also spot the endangered black rhinoceros. After wildlife viewing and a picnic lunch, ascend from the crater and drive back to Arusha, marking the end of your safari.

Best Time for a Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari

Tanzania is a year-round safari destination, and each season offers a different experience.

  • June to October: Generally excellent for wildlife viewing, with relatively dry conditions in many areas.
  • January to March: A popular period for visiting the southern Serengeti and Ndutu area during the wildebeest calving season.
  • November to May: The green season offers beautiful scenery, birdwatching, and seasonal wildlife experiences, although rain may affect some travel conditions.

The Great Wildebeest Migration moves throughout the Serengeti ecosystem, so sightings depend on your travel dates and the herds’ location.
