Highlights of trip
Serengeti Hot-Air Balloon Safari
After watching the crew inflate their craft at the launch site, take flight and drift upwards as the sun rises for an entirely different perspective of the Serengeti; the bright pink-orange haze visible for miles across the vast savannah; a group of grazing zebra becoming distinguishable from their silhouette forms below; a family of elephants wandering just below you. The photo opportunities are incredible. And wherever you land, a Champagne breakfast will be laid out for you to enjoy. It’s one of our most highly recommended safari experiences. Please ask your Personal Travel Expert for details.

Day 2
Arusha & Lake Manyara
After breakfast, drive for 2-hours past rustic villages and coffee, maize and banana plantations to Lake Manyara National Park. You’ll arrive in time for lunch at the Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge, before heading out on your first game drive. This small but scenic national park lies at the base of the Rift Valley Escarpment with a seasonal shallow soda lake that attracts numerous animals. It’s richly populated with herds of elephant, large troops of baboons, pods of wallowing hippo, tree-climbing lions and you may see clouds of pink flamingo. Returning to the lodge, enjoy a dip in the infinity pool overlooking the gleaming waters of the lake. Overnight at Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge (or similar).

Day 3
Lake Manyara & Ngorongoro
The day starts with a morning game drive around the shores of Lake Manyara, in search of further wildlife and some of the 400 species of birds that have been recorded here. Then drive for 2-hours to Ngorongoro, stopping for lunch en route at Gibb’s Farm. Originally a 1920’s coffee farm, this charming guesthouse sits amongst lush floral gardens and vegetable fields with views over the rolling hills. After a tour around the farm, you’ll visit the Iraqw tribespeople, learning about their culture, beliefs and traditional dance moves! Upon reaching Ngorongoro you’ll be staying in a unique stone lodge that rises out of the natural environment on the western edge of the crater. Overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge (or similar).
Recommended Hotel
Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
This stone lodge emerges from the hillside on the rim of the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater.
Day 4
Ngorongoro
It’s well worth rising early this morning, as the lodge’s uninterrupted crater views offer memorable sunrises. After breakfast you’ll descend 600 metres from the rim to explore the stunning Ngorongoro Crater on a full day game drive. The vast landscape of forest, lakes, and open grassland is home to the densest concentration of wildlife in Africa. It’s common to spot elephant, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, black rhino, lion and cheetah here, as well as hippo in a small lake where you’ll enjoy a picnic lunch. You’ll return to the lodge late in the afternoon. Overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge (or similar).

Arriving in the Serengeti you’ll settle into your lodge, with stone rondavels and thatched roofs inspired by traditional African villages. From the infinity pool you can enjoy panoramic views across the grasslands and often see giraffe, elephants and zebra wandering past. Overnight at Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge (or similar).

Day 6
Central Serengeti & Serengeti Western Corridor
The Serengeti is broadly divided into four areas, with the annual great migration passing through the areas at different times of year. You’ll appreciate the vastness of the park on a game drive through the Western Corridor, probably the most famous area within the region. The area supports a high population of lion, elephant, giraffe, zebra and wildebeest. The game drive ends at an exclusive colonial-style camp for a classic ‘Out of Africa’ tented safari experience. Here you’ll enjoy spectacular views across the endless plains of the Serengeti’s Western Corridor and a five-course gourmet dinner served in an Edwardian-styled dining tent. Overnight at Kirawira Serena Tented Camp (or similar).
Day 7
Serengeti Western Corridor
You’ll spend today exploring the Western Corridor on morning and afternoon game drives in search of big cats and their prey. But first there’s the opportunity to enjoy a completely different perspective of the Serengeti with an optional hot air balloon flight. Waking early, you’ll watch as the balloon is prepared, then take flight and drift upwards as the sun rises across the vast savannah and wildlife roam below. Back at camp you can enjoy a cooking class, try a Swahili language lesson or relax with a massage, before toasting the end of a glorious day with sundowners in the bush. Overnight at Kirawira Serena Tented Camp (or similar).
Day 8
Serengeti Western Corridor & Departure
After breakfast, fly by light aircraft from Grumeti airstrip to Arusha, a journey that offers views of Tanzania’s landscape from above. The flight takes 2.5-hours to Arusha, where you’ll have lunch and transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK or onward travel.
