Overview

Witness the Great Migration & Big Five in Just 3 Days

This is the perfect 3-day Tanzania safari for those eager to witness two of Africa’s most iconic destinations — the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. With Big 7 Safari Tours, you’ll track the Great Wildebeest Migration, spot lions, cheetahs, leopards, and maybe even the rare black rhino, all within a breathtaking landscape of rolling plains and volcanic craters.

 

Day to Day Itinerary

Your adventure begins with a morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha by your expert Big 7 Safari guide. After a short briefing, enjoy a scenic drive through the lush highlands of Karatu, where the Iraqw tribe farms coffee, maize, and wheat.

You'll pass through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you can catch your first glimpse of the Ngorongoro Crater from the rim — a teaser for what’s to come.

Arrive at Serengeti National Park around midday and start your first game drive in the legendary plains. This is the Africa of your dreams — wide open savannahs, acacia-dotted horizons, and incredible wildlife in every direction.

Optional Experience: Soar above the plains in a sunrise hot air balloon safari (available upon request).

As the sun sets, head to your selected tented camp or lodge to enjoy dinner, sundowners, and stories under the stars.

Overnight: Lodge or tented camp of your choice
Meals Included: Lunch & Dinner

After breakfast, set out for a full-day game drive across the vast Serengeti ecosystem. With your picnic lunch packed, you’ll venture deep into areas where the wildlife is most active — from the predator-rich kopjes to the endless plains teeming with wildebeest, zebras, elephants, and big cats.

Whether it’s the Great Migration in motion or a quiet cheetah stalking its prey, every moment in the Serengeti is unforgettable.

Return to your camp in the late afternoon for sundowners and a relaxing evening in the heart of the wild.

Overnight: Lodge or tented camp

After an early breakfast, depart for the Ngorongoro Crater, often called the "Eighth Wonder of the World." Descend 600 meters into this volcanic caldera for a morning game drive.

Inside the crater, expect to see:

  • Lions, hyenas, and possibly black rhinos

  • Hippos wallowing in freshwater pools

  • Herds of elephants, zebras, buffalo, and wildebeest

  • Seasonal flamingo flocks on Lake Magadi

Enjoy a picnic lunch in one of the crater’s designated spots, surrounded by nature in its purest form.

In the late afternoon, begin the drive back to Arusha, where your safari concludes.
