Elephants at Tarangire, a night and a game drive in the Serengeti by air, and Ngorongoro Crater.
This is the quick way to the Serengeti. You start with Tarangire’s elephants, fly across the Rift Valley to the Serengeti plains, and finish at Ngorongoro Crater on the road back to Arusha.
The flight saves a very long day by road, and it gives you an evening and a full morning in the Serengeti, which is far more than the road circuit allows in four days.

Prices are per person, in US dollars, and depend on the number of travellers sharing the vehicle and guide. They are sample rates for planning and will be confirmed when you enquire, as lodge and permit prices change each year. The flight depends on the airline schedule and will be confirmed when you enquire. The location of the herds depends on the season.
Best time for this trip Jan to Feb, Jun to Oct
Pack light, neutral colours for game drives, a warm fleece for early mornings, a sun hat, good sunscreen and insect repellent. Binoculars are provided in the vehicle, but bring your own if you are a keen birder or photographer. Light aircraft have a soft-bag limit of 15 kg per person including hand luggage, so leave the hard suitcases at home.
