Serengeti & Ngorongoro Fly-In
Discover Serengeti & Ngorongoro Fly-In with Zorani Expeditions.
Journey Overview
This seven-day journey flies directly into the Serengeti from Arusha on day two, spending four nights on the plains before driving back through Ngorongoro to close the circuit. Flying in saves the long transfer and positions the traveller in the Serengeti on day two rather than day five. More time in the two most significant parks, less time in transit. Best suited to travellers who have already seen Tarangire and Manyara, or who are working with a tighter schedule.

Itinerary

Full day on the central plains. Seronera Valley circuits and kopje country. Year-round predator action — lion, cheetah, and leopard in higher concentrations here than anywhere else in the northern circuit.
Serengeti — Eastern Sector
Drive to the Namiri Plains area. Highest cheetah density in the park, significantly fewer vehicles, open sightlines. A different experience from the Seronera.
Full Day — Eastern Serengeti
Full day in the eastern sector. Cheetah with cubs are regularly encountered in the dry months. Wide sightlines, very few other vehicles. Return to central Serengeti in the evening if based there.
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Rim
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Drive east out of the Serengeti, climbing back through the NCA. Roughly five hours with an Olduvai Gorge stop. Arrive on the crater rim late afternoon.
Ngorongoro Crater — Departure
Early descent for a half-day on the crater floor. Return to the rim by midday, then drive to Arusha for evening departure. Approximately three hours rim to airport.
