This is the quintessential Tanzania budget safari, pairing the vast Serengeti plains with the wildlife-packed Ngorongoro Crater. Spend two days in the Serengeti searching for the Big Five across Africa's most famous savanna — from the Seronera Valley's leopard-laden sausage trees to the open grasslands where lion prides dominate. Then descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive in what is often called Africa's Garden of Eden. With camping accommodation keeping costs down and a professional guide ensuring quality wildlife sightings, this is the best value way to experience Tanzania's two greatest parks.
Early departure from Arusha, driving through the Ngorongoro Highlands with a brief stop at the crater rim viewpoint. Enter the Serengeti through Naabi Hill Gate and enjoy an afternoon game drive across the southern plains. Depending on the season, you may encounter vast herds of wildebeest and zebra on the move. Set up camp at a Serengeti public campsite.
