In the afternoon descent to the Great Rift Valley for an afternoon game drive along the lake shore and enjoy watching the water birds and other animals, especially hippos and buffalos.

Day 3
After breakfast depart with a picnic lunch to Serengeti National Park passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with its spectacular views along the highland forest. There is a fantastic view from Heroes Point, the top rim of the crater, where you can observe animals feeding below. On the way to Serengeti you will stop at Oldupai Gorge where Dr Leakey found the fossils of past humans from more than 2.5 million years ago. Picnic lunch on the way before arriving at the camp.

Dinner and overnight stay at Seronera Public Camp Site.

Day 4
After breakfast you have a full day game drive in Serengeti National Park, the endless plain and the largest national park in Tanzania covering 14,763kmē. It is a very special park where animals migrate in Africa. There are almost two million wildebeest (gnus) which migrate from Serengeti to Maasai Mara and back again. Serengeti is incomparable to any other national park in Africa.

Dinner and overnight stay at Seronera Public Camp Site.

Day 5
After breakfast depart to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with your picnic lunch before descenting into the crater for an afternoon game drive. Here you can finish counting all the Big Five which you did not see in Serengeti. In the crater you will have a different experience: The resident non-migratory animals are very friendly and docile and will not be disturbed by your presence whilst grassing and resting near the road.

Dinner and overnight stay at Ngorongoro Simba Public Camp Site.

Day 6
After breakfast drive to Tarangire National Park, the home of the elephant, which is the second national park with the largest population of elephants. It is also one of the national parks which includes many baobab trees which can live for thousands of years. Tarangire National Park is named after the Tarangire river which runs through the middle of the park from the south to the northwest and ends in Lake Manyara. The park is also famous for its tree climbing python during the dry season. Arrive at the camp in time for lunch and have a short rest. Go on an afternoon game drive along the Tarangire river when most of the animals are drinking whilst others are wallowing with their young ones in the mud, especially elephants.

Dinner and overnight stay at Tarangire Public Camp Site.

Day 7
Go on a very early morning game drive around the park before breakfast to have your your last chance to see the predators with prey. Then drive back to the camp for breakfast, before departing to Arusha, arriving in time for lunch. Thereafter rest or discover the city before continuing your travel to another destination or transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for departure. Day room at Arusha if you wish.
