If you want to visit the most famous parks of Tanzania (Serengeti and Ngorongoro, plus Manyara or Tarangire) and have a few days in Zanzibar this is the perfect tour for you. It only spends one night in Serengeti, which we usually think it’s too little, but if your time frame is short and you really want to visit this amazing park, then it is the right choice for you. After the safari, you can enjoy some rest and enjoy the amazing Zanzibar island.
Each leg below covers your route, where you stay, what you’ll do, and how you’ll dine — all fully adjustable with your travel designer.
Dinner & Lunch
Pick up from your hotel at 8 am and start a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full-day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and is well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs, and mahogany trees, as well as for a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park also include giraffes, elephants, impalas, and a huge amount of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos. The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that can not be described with words, and the game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the background. Some possible extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion. Afternoon return to the camp for dinner.
Possibility to upgrade your accommodation level.
NOTE: You can replace this park with Tarangire NP or add an extra day and visit both.

Nestled in the heart of Central Serengeti National Park, Enkirari Wilderness Camp offers an authentic safari experience that combines the excitement of the African wilderness with the comfort of a luxury tented camp.

After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous National park in the World, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, “endless plains”. The park has 6,900 sq. miles (18,000 sq. km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for Big Cats and large predators, it’s the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings having been filmed in this park.

Laba Ngorongoro Lodge
Breakfast, Dinner & Lunch
Nestled at an elevation of approximately 2,200 metres within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Laba Ngorongoro Lodge offers an exceptional safari experience where contemporary luxury meets one of Africa’s most spectacular natural wonders. Built on the historic site of the former Rhino Lodge, the property enjoys one of the closest locations to the Ngorongoro Crater entrance, allowing guests to begin their crater adventures with ease.
Designed to blend harmoniously with its surroundings, the lodge combines elegant architecture, refined interiors, and panoramic views of the surrounding montane forests, Oldeani, and Makroto Mountains. Whether visiting for wildlife, relaxation, or a romantic escape, Laba Ngorongoro Lodge provides an unforgettable base for exploring the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
On this day we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you’ll ever witness. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we’ll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2.000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah’s ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It’s one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It’s also famous for its elephants which, are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World.
You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner. Possibility to upgrade your accommodation level.
