Serengeti National Park is one of the largest parks in Tanzania, covering an astounding 15,000 kms squared with diverse landscapes and habitats such as grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannah, and mountains. Here, the great migration of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope takes place, and, depending on the season, we may have the opportunity to game on route and witness thousands of animals on their search for food and water.
After an extensive game drive, we drive to the central Serengeti for an evening meal and overnight stay at the Campsite.
Meal Plan: Full Board ( Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner )
Accommodation: Nyani Public Campsite ( Central Serengeti )
After breakfast, we entire day is set aside for game drives in the Serengeti. The Serengeti habitat, of an abundance of wildlife such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north, passing the western corridor of the Serengeti ( Kirawira Area ). Apart from the migrating herds, we may have the opportunity to see the resident predators, leopard, cheetah, and lion, fulfilling their role in the circle of life.
After an unforgettable day of full game drive, in the afternoon we will have a short break for Lunch at one of the picnic sites in the Serengeti. In the evening, we will return to our accommodation at the campsite for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.

After an early morning breakfast today, you will wake up early for the morning game drive to spot the animals when they are more active and also to have a fantastic sunrise in front of you. The sunrise in the African Savannah is one of the most beautiful experiences one can have. In the afternoon, we will take a break to have Lunch in Serengeti National Park, and then after Lunch, we will continue with a mid-afternoon game drive heading to Nabi Gate, transfer to Ngorongoro, the 8th natural wonder of the world. With walls 2,000 ft high and a crater floor that spreads for 102 sq. miles, almost 3hrs and a half hours. The crater is a virtual Noah’s Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the rare black rhino. In fact, the crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingoes, a forest, and open plains. The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusks due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. They are the most incredible elephants you’ll ever see in your life. We will arrive at Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the evening for dinner and overnight at the Campsite.

After an early morning breakfast, we depart from our camp to Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive through the regions of the Ngorongoro highlands. The Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest volcanic caldera, formed with the massive explosion of a volcano once higher than Kilimanjaro some two to three million years ago, is almost 20km wide, approximately 600 m deep, and is known for its large variety of wildlife, including the “Big Five” – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard. It is well recognized as one of the world’s wonders, veritably magnificent. In addition to the Big Five, the various springs attract animals such as wildebeest, gazelle, reedbuck, and more than 500 bird species, But for Rhinos and Leopard sometimes it’s rare species to see in the crater, In afternoon after extensive game drive we will drive back to the camp for hot lunch and to collect our luggage, After lunch we’ll drive heading to Arusha, drop off at your stay after great life time experience on the safari with us.

EXCELLENT Based on 38 reviews Posted on Linnea SVerified Best hike ever😁 I climbed Mount Meru with Memorable vacation Africa and it was the best experience!! Everyone was so nice and took great care of me. I had support throughout my whole experience! If you want to do Mount Meru I would recommend going with this company!!Posted on Samuel EVerified Mt. Meru Trek - 5/5 with Memorable Vacation Africa I was in Tanzania on a work trip and last second had 4 days available to trek Mt. Meru. I reached out to a few companies and Evance from Memorable Vacations Africa immediately sent me a message, inquiring about my travel plans and offering to help me plan the trip. He quickly sent me a detailed quote detailing the schedule and services.My biggest issue was that I had not brought the correct gear to Tanzania - literally I didn't have a coat, rain gear, sleeping bag, hiking poles, thermals, headlamp and more. Evance's brother owns a hiking gear store and he told me that I could borrow whatever I needed for free. While this saved me hundreds of dollars, I chose Memorable Vacations Africa because Evance was responsive, forthright, and simply gave off honest and good vibes in contrast to other tour companies I spoke with. The trek itself was fantastic - Evance set me up with Oscar who has been leading Kilimanjaro and Meru treks since 2003 (!!) who had immense knowledge about local flora and fauna. He was an extremely experienced hiker did a gear check every morning and made sure my backpack was properly packed. Moodi and Laurence were the porter and cook and they were also fantastic.I can't recommend Memorable Vacation's Africa more - Evance is honest and fair and has surrounded himself with like-minded people who love to hike and help others experience Tanzania. For anyone considering trekking Meru, Kili, or anything else give Evance a call!!Posted on Yannick RVerified Unforgettable Safari with Memorable Vacation Africa!

I would travel with them again in a heartbeat – thank you for these unforgettable days!5 out of 5 stars – simply perfect!Posted on Willibald PVerified Mt Meru is worth a trip. Memorable Vacation Africa/Evance the right choice to organize it. Memorable Vavation Africa, the agency of Evance, was just the right choice to do a Mt Meru trek. Evance had been highly recommended by a good friend who is an Africa expert, and everything he had said turned out right. Evance is very knowledgable and takes excellent care if his clients. He also has a great team. Guide Victor Manyanga was a good leader, keen to show us as much as possible, flexible to adapt to our needs and requests, and always thinking ahead. Our chef/cook was the best we have seen in many treks. He not only prepared delicious food, he als made sure that the setting was like in a top restaurant: make sure he stays on the team! The whole group including park ranger Manyasi were a fine team. They even did a very special good bye ceremony for us with African songs, and all of them insisted to come with us to the airport to say goodbye. Although we did not get to the very summit due to bad weather, the 3 of us had a most enjoyble 4 day trek. Thank you, Evance! Willi, Viki and Sepp from AustriaPosted on Niklas RVerified Unique experiences thanks to Memorable Vacation Africa We had an excellent time with Memorable Vacation Africa. Our trip was super organized so we had a carefree trip. Evance and his colleagues have shared a lot of information and their own experiences. Thus, there was also a lot of imparted knowledge during the safari and the visit of the various tribes thanks to the well-selected experts. There was also something for everyone at the meal. Highly recommended!Posted on Johanna TVerified Unforgettable Moments on Safari! Thank you for this incredible adventure! Capturing the sunrise together with playing cheetahs, experiencing the Great Migration up close in the Serengeti, or having breakfast where three lionesses basked in the first rays of sunlight just ten minutes earlier—these are just a few of the many highlights my father and I enjoyed on our seven-day safari with Memorable Vacation Africa.We can warmly recommend a trip with Memorable Vacation Africa. The team is simply amazing! This was evident right from the organization of our adventure. Evance responded immediately, accommodated all our wishes, and put together a perfect seven-day program. From the moment we arrived in Arusha and were warmly welcomed by Evance with a heartfelt "Karibu Sana," we knew we were in for a special experience. Our safari began the next day in Tarangire Park, also known as the paradise for elephants. Right from the first day, we noticed the excellent quality of Memorable Vacation Africa. Our driver, Steven, with over 20 years of experience, stood out immediately. He is passionate and chose unique routes away from the typical safari trails, providing us with exclusive and intimate wildlife encounters. Steven's knowledge about the animals, culture, flora, and history of Tanzania's national parks truly enriched our experience.Not to forget is the delicious food! Every day, chef Shukuru cooked wonderful dishes for us, serving a variety of delicious meals, from traditional Tanzanian dishes to Italian favorites like pizza and pasta. Lunchtime was often spent at picturesque picnic areas within the national parks, offering stunning views.The campsites where we slept were all fantastic: sometimes completely in nature under a starry sky, sometimes in a village where we even watched the European Championship final together, and once at 2,300 meters altitude with zebras grazing beside our tents. In our opinion, a camping safari is the best way to get the most adventure out of this experience. Warm sleeping bags, collapsible beds with mattresses, and tents were all provided by Memorable Vacation Africa.Overall, after Tarangire Park, we visited three more parks: Lake Manyara, the unique Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Each park offered its own unique charm, and having seven days allowed us to thoroughly enjoy and observe the animals in their natural habitats.Evance consistently checked in to ensure everything was perfect, truly dedicated to providing the best safari experience possible.My father and I experienced moments on this safari that we will never forget. Our heartfelt thanks to Evance, Steven, and Shukuru for making our journey an adventure of a lifetime! We highly recommend a safari with Memorable Vacation Africa!Posted on Cassandra MVerified Amazing experience The safari was amazing. Evance is the best guide tour ever, you can trust him with your futures travels plans.Thank you!!Posted on Franziska WVerified Amazing privat all in Safari We did a 5 day safari with Evance and his team. It was a wonderfull experience and we can highly recommend the trip!Everything was planed through. From picking us up at the airport, driving to 3 different national parks (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater), sleeping (in tents but on camp beds with warm sleeping backs), food (we had our own cook with us who prepared all meals of the day) to bringing us back on time to the airport.We really had an unforgettable experience. Even when the car broke down the driver could fix the problem on his own so we were good to continue our drive.There would be so much more to say but just make the experience on your own. Enjoy!Posted on alessia bVerified AMAZING Hello there! I did a two days Safari, I visited Tarangire and Ngorongoro. I was traveling alone so I didn't know how to arrange a safari on low budget but without people to share the budget with. Then I contacted Evance that with a really kind and polite way tried to find the best solution that would have fit my availability and mu budget. He found a way! Evance found a low budget group for me which I could join and it was just amazing. We spotted all the animals that you're dreaming of, we slept in a lodge really close to Lake Manyara and the view was just incredible. The driver stopped everytime we wanted to take a picture or just observe the environment and the animals. I felt comfortable, the food was amazing,the people I was with were amazing and Evance checked on everything, all the time, trying to understand if I was having my best time and if everything was perfect and actually it was!!! IT WAS PERFECT. I loved every moment and also I'm so grad that I chose memorable vacation because now I have a wonderful friend: Evance. A kind, smart and funny person that has been the best company thhat I could have asked for my travel in Tanzania. THANK YOU EVANCE, see you when I'll move here , I'll cook for you in my home🤣
