DAY 2: Tarangire National Park to Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, we depart toward the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The drive itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means “endless plains” in the local language. The park is 6,900 sq. miles (18,000 sq. km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances.
It is the home of the great migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it’s the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. Many television scenes like the famous river crossings have been filmed in this park. We will have dinner and overnight at Nyani Campsite.
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch & Dinner Accommodation: Nyani Campsite
DAY 3: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
Today, we suggest a very early wake-up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you’ll ever witness. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch. We will then proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2,000-ft high walls (making it virtually Noah’s ark) and inhabits almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It’s one of the very rare locations on the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino.
The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It’s also famous for its elephants which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World. We will have dinner and overnight at Simba Campsite, located on the crater rim.
Meals: Full board Accommodation: Simba Campsite
DAY 4: Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha
We will start the day very early and descend to the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful hippo lake. After lunch, we will have time for a short game drive before we ascend the crater and exit the Ngorongoro Conservation Area toward Arusha. We expect to be back in Arusha at around 5 pm, although we are flexible. We will drop you off in Arusha or at Kilimanjaro Airport.
