After a safari briefing in the morning and an approximate 2 hour drive you will arrive at the Tarangire National Park. In the late afternoon you will leave the park and drive to the Lake Burunge Tented Camp, where you will overnight.
Afternoon
After breakfast you will travel from the Tarangire Area to the Lake Manyara National Park. After an extensive game drive you will travel to the Kirurumu Manyara Lodge, where you will spend the night.
Shared late morning game drive
After breakfast, you will travel via the cooler highlands towards the southern Serengeti and at midday you will reach the plains of the Serengeti National Park. You will spend the night at the Kati Kati Tented Camp inside of the park.
The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti National Park. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. Predators usually follow closely behind the trekking animals and include lions, leopards (in the acacia trees) and cheetahs. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north. As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfalls, the location of the herds may vary from year to year but your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best. You will spend another night at the Kati Kati Tented Camp.
Full day game drive in Serengeti
On your outward journey to the park gate, you will enjoy some more game viewing before you leave the Serengeti National Park in the early afternoon to continue your journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As soon as you reach the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater, you will see the giant caldera below – a breath-taking view. You will leave the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and drive to Karatu in the Ngorongoro highlands. Here you will join a walk in the coffee plantation to learn more about the cultivation and processing of coffee. You will spend the night at Ngorongoro Farm House or a similar lodge

Rise and shine! After breakfast at daybreak you travel back to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before you drive down into the crater. After an extensive game drive and a picnic for lunch, you will leave the caldera in the afternoon and return to your lodge.
