Most flights arrive late afternoon/ early evening, and some in the morning. With this is mind, we offer a peaceful location in the heart of the famous coffee plantations, to recharge and gain some strength after the long haul flight.
Welcome dinner, and overnight in a luxurious plantation cottage with a peaceful setting in beautiful gardens of the hotel.
{ If you arrive earlier in the day, there is an optional tour you can take to the local markets, or guided tour of the coffee plantation, just to work out the jetlag and get some fresh air.}
After a leisurely breakfast, we will be picked up by our customized touring vehicles and expert rangers, and drive south via some lovely villages and wildlife areas to the Ngorongoro Highlands. Arrive in the late afternoon with a stunning view from the highlands all the way down to the savanna plains below. Sunset drinks and dinner with endless views.
Today we will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater itself, teeming with resident wildlife, and often the setting for stunning vistas, with wildlife dotted across the pristine landscape. The conservation area is much larger than the crater itself. The journey then continues east, through the rest of Ngorongoro Conservation areas, and into the Eastern reaches of the Serengeti National Park. Arrival late afternoon. Dinner under the stars in this scenic eastern region of the most famous national park on the continent!
