Your journey from Arusha to Serengeti National Park begins early in the morning, heading westward through the heart of Tanzania’s scenic countryside. As you ascend into the lush Ngorongoro Highlands, you’ll be treated to sweeping views of rolling hills, local farms, and Maasai villages scattered along the way. The drive continues around the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, offering a brief but breathtaking glimpse into this world-renowned natural wonder.
As you descend onto the vast plains of the Serengeti, the landscape dramatically opens up, signaling the start of your first game drive. With your experienced guide leading the way, you’ll explore the southern and central regions of the park, where wildlife sightings begin almost immediately—zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, and predators like lions and cheetahs may appear at any moment. This scenic drive is more than just a transfer—it’s a full day of discovery, transitioning from highland beauty to the raw wilderness of the Serengeti.

EXCELLENT Based on 4 reviews Posted on Lianne DijkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing safari experience with Borbo Safaris. From the very beginning, Rebeca and Emanuel welcomed me like part of their family I really felt safe and comfortable! Emanuel was honest and clear about what to expect during the safari, which I really appreciated. Communication was open and straightforward, making everything easy and clear. During the safari, I saw all of the Big Five and many other incredible animals, surrounded by stunning landscapes. I joined a group safari and spent the days with a lovely group of people. As a solo traveler, it was a great way to meet others. The guide was fantastic, always listening to our interests and making sure we saw as much as possible. He worked hard to give everyone the best experience. In short, it was an unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend Borbo Safaris to anyone who wants a genuine, caring, and amazing safari experience.Posted on Emanuel JulianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
