Our Safari guide will collect you from your accommodation after breakfast. This morning, you will drive to Tarangire National Park. The transit drive is approximately two and a half hours on good tarmac roads. The Park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season. The Park is well known for its elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire than anywhere else on the planet! The huge and ancient Baobab trees can be seen here. Some of them are said to have lived for more than a thousand years.
Lunch will be at a picnic site inside the Park. After your game drive, you will transit to your accommodation in Karatu.
Accommodation:
Kitela Lodge/ Acacia Farm
Luxury lodge located 1-2hr drive from Tarangire NP
After breakfast, you will drive up into the cooler regions of Ngorongoro Conservation Area. There will be a chance to stop and see the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. You will then transit through Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the Serengeti, entering at the South of the Park.
The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands which allow for excellent sightings of wildlife. Whilst it boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual Great Migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest; zebra and antelope move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The migration can be found during any given month; you just need to know where to look! Depending on what time of year you come, you may get a chance to witness one of the 'Seven Wonders of the Natural World'.
You will have a picnic lunch and will overnight at an accommodation located inside the Serengeti National Park.
Accommodation:
Anantya Luxury Camp

Today, it is possible to do early morning and late afternoon game drives, returning to the Camp for lunch. Otherwise, a full day's game drive with a picnic lunch in the Park.

Your final sunrise in the Serengeti! You will have a leisurely morning's game drive and gently wend your way through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Today, you are heading to Ngorongoro Crater and will stay at a mid-range lodge located near (but not on) the Crater Rim. You will experience cooler temperatures and see more wonder on the way!
A hearty dinner awaits you.
Accommodation:
Ngorongoro Lion's Paw Camp
Luxury tented camp located on the crater rim of Ngorongoro Crater
When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland and glistening lakes and swamps. The Crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago. It is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve which is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent. The drive down into the Crater is an adventure in itself and when you reach the Crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The Crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.
After the exciting adventure in Ngorongoro, you will be driven to the airport.
(Best to book late evening/night departure flight).
