3-Day Private Fly-in Fly-out Safari to Serengeti & Ngorongoro

Safari 3 days Private
Overview

Fly from Zanzibar straight into the Serengeti, spend a full day on the plains and finish with the Ngorongoro Crater before flying back to the beach. The fastest way to see the best of northern Tanzania.

A three-day private safari that combines the endless plains of the Serengeti with the Ngorongoro Crater. You fly in from Zanzibar, meet your guide at the airstrip and go straight out on a game drive. The trip is planned around a good chance of seeing the Big Five — and you are back on Zanzibar on the evening of day three.
