This is the ultimate African dream, refined and perfected into an unforgettable three-day journey.

Whether you prefer the classic overland adventure of driving, the time-saving efficiency of flying, or a smart combination of both, we tailor the logistics to you. Over three magical days, you will be in the hands of a dedicated, professional safari guide, travel in a top-of-the-line private 4×4 vehicle, and rest each night in some of Tanzania’s most exquisite lodges. Prepare for an intimate, seamless, and profoundly moving safari that will connect you with nature in a way you never thought possible. This is the definitive luxury safari in Tanzania for an unforgettable short break.
Transportation Options: Your Safari, Your Way
- Recommended: Drive-in / Fly-out: As detailed in the itinerary above. This provides the classic overland experience on the way in and a fast, convenient flight on the way out, maximizing your time and comfort.
- The Classic: Drive-in / Drive-out: For those who love the open road. This option follows the same itinerary for Day 1 and Day 2. However, on Day 3, after your Ngorongoro Crater tour, you will make the scenic 3-4 hour drive all the way back to Arusha, arriving in the early evening.
- Ultimate Efficiency: Fly-in / Fly-out: For those on a tight schedule. You would fly from Arusha to the Serengeti on Day 1. On Day 2, after your morning game drive, you would take a short bush flight from the Serengeti to the Manyara airstrip near Ngorongoro. On Day 3, after the crater tour, you would fly from Manyara back to Arusha. This option involves the least amount of time in a vehicle on the roads.
- The Alternative: Fly-in / Drive-out: This is also a great option. You fly into the Serengeti on Day 1. Then on Day 2, you make the long but scenic game drive from the Serengeti to the Ngorongoro rim. On Day 3, after your crater tour, you make the final drive back to Arusha.
