4.9/5

Tour Overview

The Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area are our destinations on this tour from Arusha that combines two of Tanzania’s top game reserves. Camping is a cost-effective alternative to lodge accommodations, and sleeping outside means waking to a chorus of animal and bird calls in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. 

 

Day By Day Itinerary

Day 1 : Arusha - Serengeti National Park

You will reach Serengeti by midday. The Serengeti National Park is the largest park in Tanzania with a diversity of landscapes and habitats, such as grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannah and mountains.
