Day 3
After breakfast, we depart from the lodge, passing Mto wa Mbu and Karatu, after which we drive another 100 kilometers or so to reach the gates of the legendary Serengeti.
Along the way, we traverse the rugged Ngorongoro Highlands, where we also stop briefly at the viewpoint on the rim of the immense crater – a breathtaking moment.
Afterwards, the route takes us deeper into the wildlife, towards the heart of the Serengeti. This national park is not only the most famous in Africa, but also one of the largest, with more than 15,000 square kilometers of endless savannah. Life moves all around us: lions stalk through the tall grass, leopards rest in the shade, cheetahs sprint across the plains, and giraffes and elephants pass by majestically.

Day 5
After spending a few days in the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater is still on our itinerary today.
Naturally, we will also descend into this impressive crater, where we will look for rhinos, among other animals. In addition, this enormous collapsed volcano is home to more than 25,000 other mammals, making the chance of special encounters very high once again.

Day 6
Unfortunately, this will be the last day on Tanzanian soil.
Make the most of the remaining time in Karatu before we take you to the airport in Arusha or Kilimanjaro.
After all those unforgettable safaris, impressive landscapes, encounters with wildlife, colorful markets, and relaxing days in the bush, it might be difficult to say goodbye — and we understand that all too well.
