Safari Overview
As a well-experienced tour operator company, we are delighted to present an immersive and meticulously planned 4-day safari adventure to the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater from Zanzibar.
Below, we provide an in-depth overview of these magnificent destinations, focusing on their locations, how to get there from Zanzibar, their significance, climate, and the best times to visit.
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti National Park is located in northern Tanzania, spanning approximately 30,000 square kilometers.
To reach the Serengeti from Zanzibar, you will take a domestic flight from Zanzibar’s Abeid Amani Karume International Airport to one of the airstrips in the Serengeti, such as Seronera, Kogatende, or Ndutu.
The flight duration is around 1.5 to 2 hours, providing stunning aerial views of Tanzania’s diverse landscapes.
The Serengeti is world-renowned for its vast savannahs, teeming wildlife, and the spectacular Great Migration, where over a million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the plains in search of greener pastures.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers unparalleled opportunities for witnessing the raw beauty of nature and the circle of life, making it a bucket-list destination for safari enthusiasts.
The Serengeti enjoys a tropical savanna climate with distinct wet and dry seasons.
Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is situated in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern Tanzania, about 180 kilometers west of Arusha.
After your time in the Serengeti, you will travel by road to the Ngorongoro Crater, which takes approximately 3-4 hours, depending on your starting point in the Serengeti.
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera, formed around two to three million years ago.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a haven for wildlife, boasting one of the highest densities of big game in Africa.
The crater floor is home to around 25,000 large animals, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros), making it a prime location for game viewing.
The Crater is also an important archeological site with evidence of early human evolution.
The Ngorongoro Crater has a mild climate due to its high elevation (2,200 meters above sea level).
The temperature is generally cooler than the Serengeti, with more pronounced differences between day and night temperatures.
