Day 4: 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.
Join your guide and set out for an afternoon game drive. Throughout the Serengeti, a wide range of animals are waiting to be discovered, from the Big Five to a wide range of smaller animals and birdlife. Some of the more commonly spotted though lesser known animals on these plains include the topi, eland, kongoni, dukier, African civet, caracal, Cape hare, mongoose, and roan antelope.

- Lemala Ewanjan

Day 5: Serengeti
One of the most well-preserved national parks on Earth, the Serengeti today looks much like it did thousands of years ago. Here, the patterns of life, death, adaptation and migration are as old as the hills themselves. Set out in the morning to explore this magnificent park and to track animals while taking in the breathtaking beauty of this abiding landscape of rolling plains, acacia trees and outstanding biodiversity.
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 to Ngorongoro
Your African journey continues as you board a privately driven vehicle, accompanied by a local tracker-guide, to travel to the gigantic Ngorongoro Conversation Area. Depart the Serengeti National Park grounds slowly, taking in the wildlife along the way and visit the Serengeti Welcome Center to marvel at the panoramic view afforded from the lookout point. En route to your accommodations in Ngorongoro, take a break to enjoy a picturesque picnic lunch. Approximate travel time varies between five and seven hours, but can reach up to nearly nine hours depending on the location of your accommodation. Transfer times also depend on weather conditions and the number of stops made along the way. During the peak of the rainy season, longer travel times should be expected.
The massive Olduvai Gorge, or Oldupai Gorge, is often referred to as “The Cradle of Mankind.” Beginning in the eastern Serengeti plains, the cavernous ravine is some 30 miles long and is the result of millions of years of natural erosion. The gorge features a steep-sided gully that cuts its way through the Great Rift Valley stretching along eastern Africa, and is named after a commonly used plant by the Masai people; Sansevieria-Ehrenbergii, or Olduvai for short. This plant grows plentifully in the area, and is used for making bandages, rope, baskets, roofs and clothing. Today, discover the Olduvai Gorge firsthand alongside your expert local guide.
Where you’ll be staying:
- Plantation Lodge
- Lodge
Day 7: 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.
Enjoy a picnic lunch (included in tour price).

Day 8: Ngorongoro to Tarangire
Your guide will pick you up from the Ngorongoro Conservation area and drive you to Tarangire National Park. This drive takes approximately three hours.
On this afternoon's game drive you will notice the unusually shaped baobab trees, also known as the “upside-down tree”. Look up and you might find the tree climbing African pythons. This is one of the world's largest species of snakes, but do not worry, it is also a non-venomous species. Tarangire's pythons climb trees, as do its lions and leopards, lounging in the branches.
Where you’ll be staying:
- Lemala Mpingo Ridge Lodge
- Tented Suite
Day 9: Tarangire
The sun-kissed plains of Tarangire National Park are home to an incredible range of wildlife. Herds of elephants, prides of lions, troops of baboons, towers of giraffes and many more impressive creatures dot the land, as the park’s lagoons and rivers lure animals with reliable, life-sustaining sources of water. Surrounding the swamps – tinged green year-round – a remarkable array of bird-life can be found, more than 500 species visit these lands. Today, reveal the wonders of Tarangire National Park alongside an expert guide, enjoying a boxed lunch mid-day to ensure you have the energy needed to fully appreciate this brilliant park.
