Enjoy the extensive wildlife viewing along the way as  you journey to the center of Tarangire National Park.  You will spend the next two days and nights immersed in the natural beauty of Tarangire which is known for its high density of elephants and baobab trees. After your morning game drives,  you will return to your beautiful safari camp to cleanup, enjoy lunch, rest and restore before setting out again in the later afternoon for more wildlife experiences.


 

Day 4: Lake Manyara National Park

After leaving Tarangire  your guide will take you on a half-day game drive in Lake Manyara National Park where you will enjoy a delicious picnic lunch before making your way to your next safari camp.  Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions, flamingos, breathtaking scenery and the soda-ash lake in the centre.

Day 5: Lake Manyara National Park

Full day game drive Ngorongoro crater floor.

With your private safari guide you will venture to the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater where you will find spectacular scenery and game viewing in what has been described as the eighth natural wonder of the world by UNESCO. The Crater is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera forming a stunning backdrop to some of the most fertile and richest grazing grounds in Africa - an incredible natural amphitheatre, 25 km across and teeming with all of the African big game. 

You will enjoy a full day in the Crater with packed picnic lunches, returning to your camp for a delicious dinner.

Expert tips

On this day it is possible to do a very early drive into the crater.  Afterwards, we can visit the village where many of the guides are from. 

Days 6 - 8: Northern Serengeti

Today you will leave Ngorongoro and fly to Kogatende in the Northern Serengeti.  Upon arrival, you will be met by your guide and transferred to Lamai. 

From your camp you will enjoy breathtaking views of the endless plains and stunning wildlife of the Serengeti, including a front row seat to The Great Wildebeest Migration. For the next three days and nights, we will explore the resident wildlife and landscapes, and venture to the river where we hope to witness the dramatic river crossing of the wildebeest migration.
