After breakfast, we will start our journey to the Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti National Park, home to the ‘big five’; rhinoceros, elephant, leopard, buffalo and lion, is one of the greatest national parks in the world, spanning over 14,000 km².The name Serengeti comes from a Maasai word meaning ‘endless plains'. Although populations fluctuate, there are an estimated 3 million large game animals in the Serengeti, including over 2,500 lions, 1.2 million wildebeest and over 200,000 zebras. The park is home to more than 500 bird species. Enjoy a picnic or camp lunch before continuing for an afternoon game drive through the vast plains. A trip to the Serengeti at any time of the year can never disappoint!

After breakfast we will enjoy at game drive to the main Serengeti gate and stop for a picnic lunch. Heading towards the NgorongoroCrater we will pass through varied landscapes and micro-climates –vast plains, sweeping hills and dense forests. We will arrive early evening at your selected accommodation.

After breakfast we will drive to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the NgorongoroCrater, one of Africa’s safari highlights. The name Ngorongorois from a Maasaiword meaning ‘Gift of Life’. You will begin with taking in the magnificent views from the crater rim before descending into the crater itself. You will have the opportunity to see elephants, lions, buffalo, zebra and many other species of animals and birds. We will enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the hippo pool. The NgorongoroCrater is beautiful at any time of year and teaming with wildlife. You may experience clear views of the crater bowl or mists rolling down into the base -either way a memorable experience.

After breakfast we will head to Lake Manyara, an alkaline lake, rich with plant and bird life. The lake’s environment supports over 300 species of birds including cormorants, pink flamingos, pelicans and storks. After a picnic lunch, we will enjoy an afternoon game drive where you can see elephants and baboons (in fact Lake Manyaraboasts the most baboons in any park in Africa!) If you are lucky you will also see the famous tree-climbing lions. We will travel back to Arusha City for the early evening.
