Itinerary

We leave Arusha after breakfast and climb into the Ngorongoro highlands, stopping for about 20 minutes at the crater viewpoint.
On the way you can visit a Maasai village (20–45 minutes). It is optional and paid for locally, and plenty of guests skip it.
We reach Seronera in the central Serengeti in the late afternoon and game-drive until sunset, when big cats are often on the move, then set up camp.
TonightSeronera public campsite, central Serengeti (tent)Lunch, dinner
An early start for the best light and the most active predators. We game-drive until lunch, pack up camp and drive slowly out of the Serengeti.
Simba campsite sits on the crater rim, about two hours away. Animals sometimes wander through this camp too.
TonightSimba public campsite, Ngorongoro Crater rim (tent)Breakfast, lunch, dinner
After an early breakfast we descend into the crater. Black rhino are the hardest animal to find here; most others are easy to see on the open crater floor.
After a picnic lunch we climb out of the crater and drive back to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon.

Good to know
No. A tent, mattress and sleeping bag are included. Bring a small pillow or a fleece to roll up if you like a softer one.
Up to 6 or 7, and everyone has a window seat. If fewer people join a departure, you get more room at the same price.
Yes. Solo travellers pay the 1-person price in the table, because there is no one to share a tent with. Ask us if you are happy to share; it may bring the price down.
Any month. The central Serengeti has resident lions and cheetahs all year, and the crater is good in every season. December to March brings the herds closer to the crater on their way south.
Yes. The same route with lodge nights is $1,100 per person for two travellers. Your guide, vehicle and days stay the same.
