Day 1: Tarangire National Park

You will be warmly met upon arrival at the airport or picked up by your driver from the hotel.

Arrive in time for lunch at your preferred choice of accommodation and some leisure time. Later in the afternoon, head out for game viewing drive in search of elephants.

Thereafter, return to the camp/lodge for dinner and overnight.

Meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Day 2: Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After breakfast, you will depart to the Ngorongoro Conservation area. You will proceed towards the rim of the spectacular Ngorongoro, Crater stopping occasionally to admire the breath-taking vista unfolding before you. Arrive for check in, thereafter you will have lunch. This afternoon, you just relax and enjoy the panoramic views of the crater, the largest unbroken caldera in the world. It has been described as one of the great natural wonders of the world. Eight million years ago, the Ngorongoro Crater was an active volcano but its cone collapsed, forming the crater that is 610 meters deep, 20 kilometers in diameter, and covers an area of 311 kilometers square. Spectacular as it is, the crater accounts for just a tenth of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

The crater is home to many species of wild game and birds. With the exception of impala and topi (due to fierce competition with the wildebeest) and the giraffe (because there is not much to eat at tree level), almost every species of African plains mammal lives in the crater, including the endangered black rhino, and the densest population of predators in Africa. A strange thing is that the crater elephants are mainly bulls! The birdlife, which includes the flamingo, is mainly seasonal and is also affected by the ratio of soda to the fresh water in Lake Magadi on the crater floor. Dinner and overnight at your preferred choice of accommodation.

Day 3: Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After breakfast, you will descend some 600 meters into the crater, which is home to an abundance of wildlife and a photogenic paradise, for a full day of a game-viewing drive with picnic and lunch at a private scenic site. Ngorongoro Crater which is the largest intact caldera in the world teams with an abundance of wildlife permanently resident on the crater floor. Prides of lions, herds of cape buffalo, impala, Thompson gazelles, rhino, giraffes, golden and black-backed jackal, zebra, cheetah, leopard and the spotted hyena. Unmatched for its natural variety and breath-taking beauty, there are few places on earth where such a tremendous diversity of landscapes exist inside a region this size. Apart from its wildlife riches, the crater is also of great archaeological importance, with the remains of some of the mankind’s earliest ancestors discovered in the area, also a home to hundreds of bird species, refreshing in the small lakes in the crater floor. Return for dinner and overnight at your preferred choice of accommodation.

Day 4: Serengeti National Park

Enjoy a sumptuous breakfast and then depart for the Serengeti National Park via Olduvai Gorge where hominid footprints believed to be 3.6 million years old were found. You will enjoy an on-site talk on the interpretation of the gorge by the resident guide and then you will arrive at your lodge/camp for lunch. After that, you will enjoy an afternoon game viewing drive. Covering an area of 14,763 square kilometers, the world famous Serengeti National Park is Tanzania's oldest park, and one of the world's last great wildlife refuges. It stretches as far as Lake Victoria to the West. Its name comes from the Maasai word Siringet, meaning 'endless plains'. The park's vegetation ranges from the short and long grass plains in the south to the acacia savannah in the center and wooded grasslands concentrated around the tributaries of the Grumeti and the Mara rivers in the park. The western corridor is a region of wooded highland and extensive plains reaching the edge of Lake Victoria. In the early morning and evening light, the Serengeti landscape is stunningly beautiful.

The Serengeti ecosystem supports the greatest remaining concentration of plains game in Africa, including more than three million large mammals. It is the sanctuary of an estimated four million different animals and birds. Wildlife that roams the vast park includes lions (the adult males of Serengeti have characteristic black manes), cheetahs, hunting dogs, savannah elephant, Cape buffalo, topis, warthogs, hunting dogs and spotted hyena among others. Enjoy dinner and overnight at your preferred choice of accommodation.
