Detailed Itinerary

Day 01: Zanzibar to Central Serengeti National Park

You’ll touch down at Seronera Airstrip around 11:00 a.m., where our safari guide will greet you. They’ll have a picnic lunch ready for you, and then it’s time to start your safari adventure. Around 1:00 p.m., we’ll pause for lunch before continuing our game drive, keeping an eye out for the big cats of the Serengeti and other animals.

As the day winds down, we’ll head back to Serengeti Heritage or a similar lodge, depending on availability, for dinner and an overnight stay.

Accommodation: Matawi Serengeti Camp
Upgrade Accommodation: Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge

Note: We’ll ensure you stay in a lodge of similar standard, subject to availability.

Day 02: Serengeti – Ngorongoro

Get ready for an early start to catch the sunrise over the Serengeti during a thrilling game drive. It’s your best chance to witness predators in action and admire the breathtaking sunrise lighting up the savannah.

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll make our way to Ngorongoro. The journey itself is a game drive, with your driver keeping an eye out for the Big Five, wildebeest migration, and any other wildlife sightings along the way.

Optional Activity: Visit a Maasai boma to experience traditional Maasai dance, tour an authentic village, and browse local souvenirs at the market. Please note, this activity incurs an extra cost.

Accommodation: Farm of Dream Lodge
Upgrade Accommodation: Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge

Note: We’ll ensure your lodge matches the same standard, based on availability. Feel free to ask your safari expert about adding these activities to your itinerary.

Day 03: Ngorongoro Crater to Zanzibar

After breakfast, we’ll set off for the Ngorongoro Crater, often dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World. As we approach, you’ll catch your first glimpse of this vast and lush caldera from a panoramic viewpoint.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a haven for wildlife, boasting over 120 mammal species, including the renowned Big Five. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive black rhinoceros grazing on the grass plains and hippopotami enjoying a refreshing dip in the water.

From the comfort of our open-top vehicle, you’ll have the perfect vantage point to observe and capture photographs of Africa’s iconic wildlife. The crater is teeming with predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas, alongside herds of wildebeests, zebras, antelopes, cape buffalos, and more.

We’ll pause for a picnic lunch by the famous hippo pool before bidding farewell to the crater and heading back to the airport for your flight to Zanzibar.

Our tour guide Godfrey did the most amazing job We used Explore Green Africa Safaris during our time in Tanzania. Our tour guide Godfrey did the most amazing job and took us to some amazing places which were not advertised as much as others. Raul even went to the efforts of going to the town and bringing us some delicious treats for us to take back home. We did many exertions, including the Tanzania safari and Memnba Island tour. Well trusted and would definitely recommend.

A better experience with Michael Shayo I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Michael Shayo at Explore Green Africa safaris! He took such good care of us and always had a bright smile on his face! He was punctual every time he picked us up or brought us somewhere. He kept a cooler stocked full of water and soda and brought us small snacks to make sure we were always well supplied. I have nothing but positive things to say about Explore Green Africa safaris and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania.

We had an amazing time on safari We had an amazing time on safari with Explore Green African Safaris Campany, the Team was very knowledgeable and clearly very experienced. We saw a lot of amazing sights all thanks to him (as we only managed to spot pumbas instead of cats ourselves!) In particular he was very skilled at driving during the difficult wet conditions we had in the Serengeti. Asante sana, Explore Green African Safaris Team.

Exhilarating and exciting four-day An exhilarating and exciting four-day safari with jakson john made our trip 'a dream' come true. We enjoyed Jackson sharing his knowledge and experience of wild life and the culture and traditions of his country while on safari. He is professional, personable, and very knowledgeable. Our trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro was mind-boggling. We even saw hippos and rhinos. Thank you, jakson, for a wonderful safari experience and for sharing your knowledge with us. I highly recommend Explore Green Africa safaris, as they are able to cater to your individual needs and timelines.

I recommend the staff for better service Our Tanzania safari was organized through Explore Green African Safaris Team, though we didn’t book directly with them and it was booked via our local travel agent. Our accommodation was all Serengeti Heritage camps and thalodges on safari the accommodation was comfortable and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and we especially enjoyed the entertainment. Our guide, james was the best! He was very knowledgeable and very patient with us.. We can’t thank him enough for an unforgettable experience! Highly Recommended Explore Green African Safaris.

Comfortable and had the experience we were looking for I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Explore Green Africa safaris Team! From the first moment when he picked us up in Arusha, he was kind and informative. We were on a 6-day safari, and every day he went to great lengths to make sure we were comfortable and had the experience we were looking for. We saw all but a rhino from what we wanted to see and always felt we were in safe hands in every situation. I would recommend Explore Green Africa safaris team for sure!

Wonderful days in Tanzania on the game drive We had wonderful days in Tanzania on the game drive with Explore Green Africa safari are commitment to offering the best experience on our safari. We saw lions, buffaloes, and elephants for the first few hours. We saw hippos, zebras, and giraffes in different habitats. In short, a wonderful experience with the best service and all the team are supper. I can without a doubt give my warmest recommendation for this. However, this went great, so even if you need to do so, do not hesitate to choose Explore Green Africa safari, driver, and host in Tanzania.
