Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti

Begin your day with a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Descend into the crater early for a morning game drive, when wildlife is most active, and keep an eye out for lions, elephants, rhinos, zebras, and wildebeest amid its stunning landscapes.

After your crater adventure, we’ll travel to Serengeti National Park, home to vast plains and diverse wildlife. This is an excellent time for spotting predators on the move, so stay alert for lions, leopards, and even cheetahs in action as you explore the park.

Arrive at your luxury camp just in time for sunset, enjoy dinner, and relax by the fire. Get ready for another epic day of game drives ahead!

Cerise Switzerland 🇨🇭

I took a trip with GaGaGo in Vietnam and it was awesome! It's a newer company and I was a little nervous, but what I loved is how authentic my experience was. Also, got to meet the founder, Jessica, and she was so much fun to travel with! Made a handful of amazing friends during my trip and we're still in touch. Definitely made lifelong memories, and got to see a side of Vietnam that I really don't think I would have otherwise seen (my experience with other operators is that their tours are so cookie cutter, and this one was so unique!)

FAQS

WHERE DOES THE TRIP START & FINISH?

The trip begins and ends in Arusha. For easier connections, we recommend flying into Dar es Salaam and then booking a separate domestic flight to Arusha. Whether you're continuing on to Zanzibar or heading home, we’ll arrange your airport transfer.

WHICH AIRPORT DO I NEED TO FLY INTO?

Arusha (ARK).

CAN I PAY FOR THE SAFARI IN INSTALLMENTS?

Yes! You can secure your spot with a $400 deposit and choose to pay the remaining balance through our monthly installment plan. The full balance must be paid at least 60 days before the trip.

If you’d like to set up a monthly payment plan after paying your deposit, please email us at info@gagagoapp.com and we’ll guide you through the process.

WHAT KIND OF ACCOMMODATION IS INCLUDED ON THIS TRIP?

On our Premium Safari, we stay in handpicked, highly rated lodges, luxury tented camps, and boutique hotels, chosen for their comfort, service, and locations. Rooms are shared with fellow trip members of the same gender, typically 2 or 3 people per room, with twin or single beds.

Some rooms may have beds of different sizes; in this case, guests are expected to take turns using the larger bed so everyone has a fair chance each night. If you’re traveling with a friend or family member and want to share a room, just let us know—we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Private room upgrades are available for an additional fee if you prefer your own space.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I TIP DURING MY SAFARI?

Tipping is customary on safari but entirely at your discretion. Guides, drivers, lodge staff, and camp teams work hard to make your experience exceptional, and small gestures are always appreciated. As a guideline:

Safari guide/driver: $10–$20 per person, per day

Lodge or camp staff: $4–$10 per person, per day (split among the team)

It’s best to carry small bills in U.S. dollars or Tanzanian shillings. Tipping in cash directly to the individuals or tip box is preferred.

IS MY MONEY PROTECTED?

Yes, your money is safe! If the trip is canceled by us, including due to not meeting the minimum participant requirement by the deadline (typically two months before the trip), you'll receive a full refund.

CANCELLATION POLICY

We understand plans can change. A $500 non-refundable deposit secures your spot. You may cancel within 72 hours of booking, and any payments made beyond the deposit will be fully refunded. The remaining balance is due 60 days before the trip. Cancellations made less than 60 days before departure are non-refundable. For full details, please review our cancellation policy here.

WHAT IS THE GROUP SIZE FOR EACH TRIP?

Our safari groups range from 5 to 14 travelers, ensuring a personalized and immersive experience. Each 4WD jeep seats up to 7 people, and everyone gets a window seat for optimal wildlife viewing and photography.

DO YOU HAVE AN AGE LIMIT FOR TOURS?

Our tours are designed for adventurous travelers aged 18 to 45, with most guests typically between 21 and 35 years old. However, anyone with a sense of adventure is welcome, as long as they are 18 or older!

DO YOU ASSIST WITH VISAS?

We do not handle visa arrangements. However, we’re happy to help you gather information about visa requirements based on your nationality for your chosen destination, ensuring you have a clear understanding of what’s needed.

WHAT IS THE CURRENCY?

The currency in Tanzania is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS). While local transactions are typically done in shillings, USD is widely accepted, especially for tipping. We recommend bringing some USD for this purpose.

IS TRAVEL INSURANCE REQUIRED FOR THIS TRIP?

Yes, we strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that covers cancellation, personal injury, medical and repatriation expenses, evacuation, personal liability, and loss of personal property before traveling with us. We can also recommend travel insurance options based on your country of residence to ensure you're fully covered. Make sure your policy also covers any activities you'll be participating in, especially adventure or high-risk activities, for all the adrenaline junkies out there!

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR AND PACK FOR THE TRIP?

For the safaris, wear neutral-colored, lightweight, and breathable clothing to stay cool and blend in with the environment. Long sleeves and pants are recommended for sun protection and to reduce insect bites. Bring comfortable shoes or boots for game drives.

For Zanzibar, pack light, breathable clothes, swimwear for the beach, and modest attire for visiting local towns.

Other essentials for both locations:

Hat and sunglasses
Sunscreen
Bug spray/insect repellent
Warm layer for cooler mornings and evenings

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT POVERTY AND ENCOUNTERS WITH LOCALS?

In Tanzania, it’s common to encounter people living in poverty. While it’s natural to want to help, giving money or food directly to children or individuals you meet on the street or in national parks can create safety issues, encourage dependence, and may violate park rules.

During your trip, we visit a local Maasai community, where you’ll have the opportunity to shop for authentic handicrafts, a meaningful way to support the community. If you’d like to make donations, consider school supplies, clothing, or non-perishable items that can be distributed responsibly. Always check with your guide first to ensure your contribution is appropriate.

Tips for responsible giving:

Do not give money or food to children inside or near national parks.
Follow park rules: some areas strictly prohibit tipping or donations.
Supporting ethical local initiatives or community projects ensures your help has a real impact.

This approach allows you to engage positively with local communities while respecting their culture and Tanzania’s wildlife and park regulations.

DO YOU HAVE ANY GUIDELINES FOR TRAVELER ETIQUETTE?

We believe a great safari is about more than breathtaking wildlife—it’s also about the people you share it with. We kindly ask all guests to be respectful toward our guides, trip leaders, lodge staff, local communities, and fellow travelers. This includes being mindful of cultural norms, keeping group harmony in mind, and treating everyone with courtesy. A positive, supportive group dynamic helps make the experience unforgettable for everyone.

HOW DOES GAGAGO ENSURE A GREAT GROUP DYNAMIC FOR ITS TRIPS?

Gagago trips are intentionally kept small to foster meaningful connections and a positive group dynamic. To ensure the best experience for everyone, our hosts consider several factors—including group balance, shared interests, and travel styles—when reviewing participants.

If we feel that someone may not be the best fit for a particular trip, we may suggest alternative options or respectfully decline the booking to preserve the experience for all.

Our goal is always to create a welcoming and memorable adventure for everyone involved.

CAN I JOIN THE TRIP ON MY OWN?

Absolutely—and we highly recommend it! Over 90% of our travelers come solo. Our trips are designed to help you connect, make new friends from around the world, and share unforgettable experiences. Whether you come alone, with a friend, partner, or family, you’ll feel right at home from day one.
