ABOUT THIS TOUR
Overview
Discover two of Tanzania's most iconic wildlife destinations on this 4-day fly-in safari with Jovial Safaris. Combining the vast plains of Serengeti National Park with the extraordinary wildlife-rich landscape of Ngorongoro Crater, this adventure offers an exciting introduction to Tanzania's Northern Circuit.
Begin with a scheduled domestic flight to the Serengeti, allowing you to spend more time enjoying game drives and less time travelling by road. Explore the Serengeti's open plains in search of elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes and predators such as lions, cheetahs and leopards.
Continue to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a descent into the famous crater, where a remarkable concentration of wildlife can be found in a spectacular natural setting. Depending on the season, your Serengeti experience may also include opportunities to look for migrating wildebeest herds.
This safari is ideal for travellers seeking excellent wildlife viewing, comfortable accommodation and convenient air travel within a short holiday.
