A starting point for your plans

Your safari at a glance

Start: Arusha
Finish: Arusha
Overnight outline: 2 nights Serengeti · 1 night Karatu area

This is a proposed itinerary, not a fixed departure or a confirmed booking. Accommodation, transport, activity timings, and availability are checked for your dates. Tell us what you would like to change before a final quotation is prepared.

Day 1 of 4

Day 1: Arusha to the Serengeti

Begin the road journey toward your proposed Serengeti accommodation. This is a long transfer day, with any game viewing dependent on arrival time and access arrangements. A flight alternative can be discussed and quoted separately if available.

Overnight: Serengeti camp or lodge.

Day 2 of 4

Day 2: A full day to explore the Serengeti

Spend the day on planned game drives from your base. Discuss your interests with the guide and allow wildlife activity to shape the pace. The camp area should be selected for your dates; migration sightings and river crossings cannot be promised.

Overnight: Serengeti camp or lodge.

Day 3 of 4

Day 3: Serengeti to the Karatu area

Plan a final game drive where timing permits, then continue toward the Ngorongoro highlands and Karatu. Keep the onward drive in mind when deciding departure time from camp. Optional stops need to fit the route and be agreed in advance.

Overnight: Karatu area.

Day 4 of 4

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater and Arusha

Visit the crater on the planned final safari day before continuing to Arusha. Confirm the crater arrangements, meals, and return schedule in your quotation. An onward overnight stay is recommended unless a specific connection has been checked.

Overnight: No overnight included in this outline.

What your quotation needs to confirm

  • The named accommodation, room arrangements, and number of nights.
  • Guiding, safari vehicle arrangements, transfers, and each planned activity.
  • Meals, drinking water, park entry, conservation fees, and any crater arrangements.
  • For fly-in options: flight sectors, baggage limits, airstrip transfers, and connection buffers.
  • Any optional activities and the terms for payment, changes, and cancellation.

No price or inclusion is guaranteed by this outline. International flights, visas, travel insurance, gratuities, and personal expenses should be budgeted separately unless your written quotation expressly includes an item. Ask about any additional hotel nights before or after the safari.
