Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari

This 4-night Tanzania safari add-on is designed as a seamless extension for travellers already exploring East Africa, particularly those combining Kenya and Tanzania in one journey. It connects two of Africa’s most iconic wildlife regions: the vast plains of the Serengeti and the dramatic Ngorongoro Crater.

The experience typically begins with a scenic flight into the Serengeti, where open savannahs support some of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the world. Game drives here offer opportunities to see lions, cheetahs, elephants, and, seasonally, the Great Migration.

From the Serengeti, the journey continues towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to a unique volcanic caldera ecosystem. The crater floor supports an extraordinary density of wildlife, including all members of the Big Five in a single day.

This itinerary is ideal for travellers looking to deepen their safari experience with minimal logistical complexity while maximising time in two of Tanzania’s most important conservation landscapes.
