Day-1- Schedule Flight to Serengeti National Park.

You will be picked early morning from your hotel and transfer to Arusha Airport for schedule flight to the Serengeti National Park on arrival at the airstrip you will be met by your guide, drive to your Camp with a short game viewing drive en-route. Afternoon depart on a game viewing drive in the Serengeti looking for the Big Cats and lots of plains game.  The Serengeti is home to the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth - the great migration of wildebeest and zebra. The resident population of lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, and birds is also impressive. There’s a wide variety of accommodation available, from luxury lodges to mobile camps. The park covers 9228 sq. miles, (14,763 sq. km), it’s larger than Connecticut, with at most a couple hundred vehicles driving around. Late afternoon drive back to your Camp.

Dinner and overnight at Mawe Luxury Tented Camp or Similar.

Days 2 – 3 and 4 – Exploring Serengeti National Park.

Three full days exploring the vast Serengeti and its endless plains.

The Park can be divided into 3 sections. The popular southern/central part (Seronera Valley), is what the Maasai called the “serengit”, the land of endless plains. It’s classic savannah, dotted with acacias and filled with wildlife. The western corridor is marked by the Grumeti River, and has more forests and dense bush. The north, Lobo area, meets up with Kenya’s Masai Mara Reserve, is the least visited section. It is the migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous. Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November, and then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to move that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested river can hold them back.

The Wildebeest travel through a variety of parks, reserves and protected areas and through a variety of habitat. Join us to explore the different forms of vegetation and landscapes of the Serengeti ecosystem and meet some of their most fascinating inhabitants.

Meals and overnight at Mawe Luxury Tented Camp or Similar.

Day – 5 – Ngorongoro Crater.

You will have an early breakfast. Drive out of the Serengeti and on to Ngorongoro Crater for game viewing drive. The jewel in Ngorongoro's crown is a deep, volcanic crater, the largest un flooded and unbroken caldera in the world. About 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq kms in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder.
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera.  Forming a spectacular bowl of about 265 square kilometres, with sides up to 600 metres deep; it is home to approximately 30,000 animals at any one time.  The Crater rim is over 2,200 metres high and experiences its own climate.  From this high vantage point it is possible to make out the tiny shapes of animals making their way around the crater floor far below.  Swathes of cloud hang around the rocky rim most days of the year and it’s one of the few places in Tanzania where it can get chilly at night.

Late afternoon ascent the crater and continue short drive to the Ngorongoro Highlands.

Dinner and overnight at the Bougainvillea Safari Lodge or Similar.

Day-6- Tarangire National Park.

After breakfast drive to Tarangire National Park arriving in time for lunch at Tarangire View Camp. Afternoon depart on a game viewing drive in the park famous for its high concentration of huge herds of Elephants and Giant Baobab trees. The Tarangire National Park is located between the meadows of Masai Steppe to the south east and the lakes of the Great Rift Valley to the north and west. It occupies an area of 2,600 square kilometers. The Tarangire River takes over the northern part of Tarangire. The River flows upwards up to when it leaves the corner of the park, in the North West flowing into Lake Burunge. There are a number of wide swamps which dry into green plains during the dry season in the south. During the rainy season, the seasonal visitors scatter over a 20,000 sq km range until they exhaust the green plains and the river calls once more. But Tarangire’s mobs of elephant are easily encountered, wet or dry. 
The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world. Tarangire’s pythons climb trees, as do its lions and leopards, lounging in the branches where the fruit of the sausage tree disguises the twitch of a tail.

Dinner and overnight at Tarangire View Camp or Similar.
