Your journey from Arusha to Serengeti National Park begins early in the morning, heading westward through the heart of Tanzania’s scenic countryside. As you ascend into the lush Ngorongoro Highlands, you’ll be treated to sweeping views of rolling hills, local farms, and Maasai villages scattered along the way. The drive continues around the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, offering a brief but breathtaking glimpse into this world-renowned natural wonder.

As you descend onto the vast plains of the Serengeti, the landscape dramatically opens up, signaling the start of your first game drive. With your experienced guide leading the way, you’ll explore the southern and central regions of the park, where wildlife sightings begin almost immediately—zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, and predators like lions and cheetahs may appear at any moment. This scenic drive is more than just a transfer—it’s a full day of discovery, transitioning from highland beauty to the raw wilderness of the Serengeti.
