Along the way, you’ll enjoy scenic views and may stop at a Maasai village (optional) to learn about their traditional way of life.
Once we arrive in the central Serengeti (Seronera area), we begin an afternoon game drive. This area is rich in wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, and elephants. During the Great Migration season, you may also witness thousands of wildebeest and zebras moving across the plains.

Experience the Magic of a Balloon Safari
A balloon safari is not just a tour—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Conducted inside the national park, this exclusive experience allows you to soar above the breathtaking landscapes, offering an unparalleled view of the wildlife below.
Though it comes at a premium price, every moment is worth it. The early morning start is crucial—it’s when the savannah is alive with movement, and the golden sunrise paints the sky in dazzling hues. From above, you’ll witness elephants marching in herds, lions prowling through the grass, and giraffes gracefully wandering—all in their natural habitat, undisturbed.
More than just a safari, this is a chance to see the wild from a completely new perspective. The serenity of the flight, the thrill of spotting animals from above, and the unforgettable views make it an experience that simply has no comparison.
Day 4:
Morning in Serengeti – Afternoon Transfer to Karatu via Ngorongoro
Start your day with a magical early morning game drive in Serengeti, the best time to spot predators in action as they hunt for prey. The golden light of sunrise adds to the beauty of the savannah, offering perfect photo opportunities. After breakfast at the camp, we begin our journey toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
This drive is also a safari experience, as we pass through various wildlife zones. You’ll enjoy wildlife viewing on the way, and possibly spot more lions, elephants, or hyenas. Arrive in Karatu in the late afternoon, where you can relax, freshen up, and enjoy a delicious dinner.
