It’s the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem –a smorgasbord for predators – and the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared Oryx and peculiar long–necked gerenuk are regularly observed.

After breakfast it is time for the World Heritage Site - Ngorongoro Crater - a wonderful heritage site for wildlife. You will descend into the caldera floor that represents 260 km2 of paradise on Earth. Ngorongoro is the multiple land use in which wildlife livestock and people [Maasai] are managed to live together without obvious interferences. This place is very unique [[caldera]] although people have accustomed to calling this place crater. You will have enough time to enjoy the caldera as you might have the opportunity to see rhinos and pride on lions and other animals as it’s also home to carnivores. Enjoy lunch very close to the hippo pool. After the satisfactory game drive in the crater, you will be taken to the camp for dinner & overnight.

The myriad animals and birds are the ‘stars of the show’ and Nature’s dramas can unfold at any time.

At the end of the afternoon, we return to the camp for dinner and some much-needed rest.

Right after breakfast, you will have a full day of a game drive searching for more of the wildebeest migration and river crossing at Mara River. Please take note –Finding a crossing is very difficult and is sometimes a matter of luck. A herd can be seen next to the river and only decide to cross or not to cross until a couple of days later. This area is a stunning region with kopjes, woodland, riverine vegetation, and open plains, similar to Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve. After an adventure of the day, you will be taken back to the camp for dinner & overnight.
Right after breakfast, you will go back to the river just to finalize your game drive in the northern Serengeti, then depending on your booked flight you will be taken to Kogatende Airstrip for your flight back to Arusha
We understand that planning your perfect safari is a big decision, and we’re here to make it easy. Feel free to request a personalized, no-obligation quote tailored to your preferences. Rest assured, requesting a quote does not commit you to booking the tour—it's simply a way for us to help you explore your options and ensure your safari experience is everything you dream it to be.
We'll send you a quote for free, booking the tour is absolutely optional.
The cost of a safari is influenced by several important factors. These include the number of people in your group, the total number of days on safari, the category of accommodation (budget, mid-range, or luxury), park entrance fees, the type of safari vehicle, and whether it’s a private or shared tour. Additional elements like internal flights, special experiences (such as hot air balloon rides), and the time of year also play a role. For example, prices during the Great Migration season in the Serengeti are generally higher due to increased demand. Each safari quote is carefully crafted to match your preferences, making your experience both personal and flexible.
Yes, there are several ways to make your safari more affordable without compromising the experience. Traveling in a group is one of the easiest ways to lower costs, as expenses like vehicle use, fuel, and guide fees are shared. You can also choose budget accommodations, which are still comfortable and well located. Traveling during the low or shoulder season—outside of major holidays or migration peaks—can also significantly reduce costs. Additionally, opting for fewer days or choosing parks that are close to each other (like Tarangire and Lake Manyara) helps cut down on driving time and fuel expenses.
A safari becomes more expensive when you choose high-end lodges or tented camps, especially those with exclusive amenities like private plunge pools or personal butlers. Booking a private safari vehicle with a dedicated guide also increases the cost but offers a more personalized experience. Other price boosters include internal flights (which save time but come at a premium), visiting remote parks that require long drives or charter flights, and adding unique extras like hot air balloon safaris, Maasai village visits, or bush dinners. Peak season travel—typically from July to October or during the December holidays—also comes with higher rates due to demand.
Yes, joining a group safari is a great way to reduce the cost, especially for solo travelers or small groups. You’ll share the vehicle, guide, and some accommodation with others, which spreads out the fixed costs. Group safaris are also a fun way to meet fellow travelers from around the world, and many guests enjoy the social aspect. However, keep in mind that group tours follow a fixed itinerary, so if you’re looking for flexibility or privacy, a private safari might suit you better.
Absolutely! Many lodges and national parks in Tanzania offer discounted rates for children, and we always include these savings when planning a family safari. The exact age cut-off and percentage varies by provider, but typically children under 12 receive reduced rates on both accommodation and park entry. For families, we also recommend lodges with family-friendly facilities, child-safe environments, and flexible meal options to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all.
Yes, we offer flexible payment options to make your safari planning stress-free. A small deposit is usually required to confirm your booking, especially for securing accommodations and park permits. After that, you’re welcome to pay the remaining balance in manageable installments before your travel date. We’ll work with you to create a payment schedule that suits your timeline and budget, so you can focus on getting excited about your adventure.
Our safari packages are mostly all-inclusive to give you peace of mind. Typically, the price covers all park entrance fees, government taxes, accommodation, daily meals (usually breakfast, lunch, and dinner), a professional English-speaking safari guide, and transport in a 4x4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof for game viewing. Bottled drinking water during game drives is also included. Not included are items such as international flights, visas, personal travel insurance, alcoholic beverages, tips for staff, and optional activities not listed in your itinerary.
This depends on the safari option you choose. If you book a private safari, you will have the entire vehicle and guide to yourself or your group. If you join a group safari, you’ll be sharing the vehicle with other travelers who booked the same itinerary and dates. Group safaris are more cost-effective, while private safaris offer greater comfort, flexibility, and privacy—especially ideal for couples, families, or photographers.
We’ll make it crystal clear in your quotation and tour description. If it’s a private safari, you’ll see that the vehicle, guide, and accommodations are reserved just for you. For group safaris, we’ll mention the number of participants, fixed departure dates, and shared services. If you’re not sure which option is better for you, we’re happy to advise based on your travel style and budget.
