About this itinerary
Three days require an efficient schedule, so this safari focuses on the most important wildlife experiences along the route.
Your private safari vehicle and professional guide provide flexibility during game drives. Your guide follows wildlife activity, recent sightings and your interests while selecting suitable areas for photography and game viewing.
The route also gives you a strong contrast between Serengeti’s expansive plains and Ngorongoro’s enclosed volcanic landscape. Ngorongoro Crater supports a high concentration of wildlife, including elephants, lions, buffaloes, rhinos and leopards.
Best suited to: couples, families, first-time safari travelers and private groups.
