Tour Plan
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro or Arusha Airport, our driver will transfer you to your hotel in Arusha. Settle in, enjoy a welcome dinner, and rest before your wildlife adventure begins.
After an early breakfast, drive to the Ndutu Region, part of the southern Serengeti ecosystem. This area is the focal point of the wildebeest calving season, offering some of the best predator action in Africa. Arrive for an afternoon game drive and settle into your tented camp for dinner and overnight.
Spend the entire day exploring Ndutu's open plains, where wildebeest are calving, and predators like lions, hyenas, and cheetahs are never far away. Your guide will position you for optimal sightings and photo opportunities. Enjoy a picnic lunch and sunset back at camp.
After breakfast and a short morning game drive, drive to the Ngorongoro Crater and descend 600m into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. Experience a half-day game drive with the chance to see rhinos, lions, elephants, buffalo, and more. After a picnic lunch, return to Arusha for overnight or airport drop-off.
Use this day to relax, shop, or take optional local tours (e.g., Cultural Heritage, coffee farms, Maasai market). Ideal for adjusting before international travel.
After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airport for your onward flight. We wish you safe travels and hope to see you again on another Africa Comfortable Tours adventure!
