Big Five Safari

4 Days

Join us on our popular 4-days Big Five safari, where the vast landscapes of Serengeti and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater set the stage for an extraordinary wildlife expedition. Immerse yourself in the quest for the Big Five and witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Great Migration, a natural phenomenon that unfolds in the Serengeti. Thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and other ungulates move across the plains in search of greener pastures. Consequently, the spectacle of crossing rivers and open landscapes is a wildlife enthusiast’s dream come true.

Arusha – Serengeti National Park

Early morning we pick you up at your accommodation in Arusha and drive you to Serengeti National Park, partly game viewing en route. Traverse the expansive plains, keeping a keen eye out for the iconic Big Five; lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros. Marvel at the untamed beauty of the Serengeti as the day unfolds.

Then, the next day, dive deeper into the Serengeti, exploring its diverse ecosystems and encountering a myriad of wildlife. Your expert guide will navigate the vast grasslands, acacia-dotted savannas, and winding rivers, increasing your chances of witnessing the thrilling moments of predator-prey interactions.

Ngorongoro Crater

On the 4th day you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife. Encounter herds of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles and hopefully a rhino, and witness predators in action. The Ngorongoro Crater offers a unique microcosm of African wildlife in a stunning setting.
