After checking in at your luxury tented camp, embark on a private game drive to explore the vast savanna, which is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife.

Depending on the timing of your trip, you may have the chance to witness this spectacular phenomenon.

After landing, enjoy a champagne breakfast in the heart of the Serengeti before continuing your game drive.
For the rest of the day, enjoy a full-day game drive, where you’ll have the chance to explore different regions of the Serengeti. From the central Seronera Valley, teeming with wildlife, to the remote northern plains, your guide will ensure you don’t miss any of the park’s hidden gems. Return to your luxurious tented camp for dinner, and unwind under the stars.
Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater – Safari and Crater Rim Views
Today, you’ll fly to Ngorongoro Crater, often called the “Garden of Eden” for its lush grasslands and abundant wildlife.
