Day 2: Arusha to Manyara to Ngorongoro
Your guide will meet you in Arusha for a private transfer to the Ngorongoro Crater, with a stop in Manyara along the way.
Best known for its baboon population, the Manyara region is a land of sweeping plains, giant figs and mahogany trees, and is host to a range of herbivores including hippos, impalas, elephants, wildebeests, buffalo, warthogs and giraffes. The scenic Lake Manyara National Park has the wall of the Great Rift Valley to one side and the lake on the other, and affords guests with incredible photography opportunities. Today you will explore this diverse land on a game drive alongside an expert guide. Lucky guests may spot the rare tree climbing lion while in Manyara, and following your exploration, you will be transferred to your lodge or camp.
A boxed lunch will be provided today.

- Standard Room
Day 3: Ngorongoro
Today, discover one of the most remarkable wildlife conservation areas in Tanzania; the Ngorongoro Crater. Departing from your camp in a privately driven vehicle alongside a local expert guide, make your way to the entrance of the park, then drive a further 20 minutes to reach the rim of Ngorongoro Crater: the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera. This geological marvel was formed as the result of a gigantic explosion which caused the volcano to collapse on itself, thereby creating the massive crater. Roughly 12 miles wide and some 2,000 feet deep, the trip from crater rim to floor takes approximately 45 minutes by vehicle. The extremely fertile crater floor has attracted incredibly dense populations of wildlife, and at present over 25,000 large animals call the crater home, including some of the world’s last remaining black rhinos. The crater floor is also host to some of the highest concentrations of carnivores in the world, featuring large prides of lions, packs of hyenas and solitary predators like cheetahs and jackals. A keen eye paired with expertly procured search patterns from your guide is sure to help you spot a wide range of wildlife and perhaps some of the more elusive species like leopards, servals, and bat-eared foxes.
An experienced tracker-guide and private vehicle will accompany you today while exploring Ngorongoro National Park.

Day 4: Ngorongoro to Serengeti
Your guide will pick you up from your lodge in Ngorongoro and drive you to the famous plains of the Serengeti. On this drive you will have the option of stopping at Olduvai Gorge, the Serengeti Welcome Center and Lookout Point, or to stop for a picnic lunch. After entering the Serengeti, you will have the chance to enjoy a game viewing drive as you track through the park en route to your next accommodation. The drive takes five to six hours depending on the number of stops you make and the length of your game viewing experience. Longer transit times should be expected during the rainy seasons.
Get ready for an afternoon to remember as you set out in the company of an experienced tracker-guide to explore the expanses of the Serengeti. The park is world renowned for its healthy populations of resident wildlife species, in particular the African Big Five consisting of buffaloes, elephants, rhinoceroses, leopards and lions. Although sightings are considered a rarity, a small group of black rhinoceros also live within the park grounds. Heavy concentrations of topi, gazelle, waterbuck and Coke’s hartebeest ensure that local carnivores including cheetah, hyenas and African wild dog are ever present. The park is also home to more than 500 species of birds, including ostriches, crowned cranes, marabou storks and secretary birds; some of the most sought-after and photogenic birds on the planet.

Day 5: Serengeti
This morning, your African adventure begins with an exploratory game drive through Tanzania’s oldest and most recognized National Park, the Serengeti. A land of unparalleled game viewing, from great herds of grazing herbivores to tactically cunning packs of carnivores, life on the plains of the Serengeti truly epitomizes the “circle of life.” A paradise for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts alike, it is all but guaranteed that you will spot giraffes and elephants feasting on shrubbery, impalas, gazelles and buffaloes traipsing carefully through the plains to avoid being noticed by on-looking lions, cheetahs and hyenas, and a spectacular range of birdlife flitting through the sky.
The Serengeti was once known as Masailand, and was home to fierce warriors who lived alongside wild animals, surviving off the natural resources of the land. Many of these people can still be found in the region today, some living as far away as the Masai Mara in Kenya. During your safari, consider taking the time to meet the people of an enduring Masai tribe (please speak to your Destination Expert for more information). Whether or not you make the trip to a Masai village, keep in mind as you explore the Serengeti that these lands have been central to Masai life for centuries. As you pass through the region – a photographer’s delight – remind yourself of the incredible, generational history of the Masai people, and the impressive feat of survival on the plains.

Day 6: Serengeti
This morning enjoy a game drive as you head to your next camp. Sleep in this morning and take the day at a leisurely pace, or wake up early and track game as you drive across the Serengeti plains.
Immerse yourself in one of Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacles: the Great Migration. Witness vast herds of wildebeest accompanied by zebras and Thomson’s gazelles as they traverse the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing. Their movements, driven by the availability of food and water, make each game drive a unique and unpredictable experience. Predators such as lions, leopards, and hyenas follow close behind, creating dramatic scenes that highlight both the beauty and harsh realities of life on the plains.

Day 7: Serengeti
The etymological root for the word Serengeti derives from the Maasai word ‘Siring’, which translated into English means ‘Endless Plains’. This description couldn’t be more apt, as the Serengeti is largely defined by the hundreds of miles of flat grassland that dominate the landscape. Local aboriginals are passionate about the Serengeti and possess incredible acumen with regard to its ecosystem. This morning, set out with your private guide into this magnificent park to track animals and take in the breathtaking beauty of this timelessly beautiful landscape.
This afternoon, climb aboard a safari vehicle and head to the vast savanna of the Serengeti in pursuit of exciting wildlife sightings. With approximately 70 species of large mammals freely roaming its wild terrain, the park is rightfully considered to be among the finest game viewing areas in the world. As you traverse the grassy plains of the Serengeti, look out for species such as blue wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, lion, giraffe, and many more. See both grazers and predators in their natural habitat; and take in the enchanting landscape of northern Tanzania. Your game drive concludes as you are transferred back to your accommodation.
