In the morning, depart Arusha / Moshi and drive for about 2.5 hours to Tarangire.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush -served around mid-day.

Late in the afternoon, drive out of the park for dinner and overnight in Tarangire.

After breakfast, drive from Tarangire to Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is known for its endless plains, the great migration -1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, and the big five -lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalos.

In these two days, you will visit various parts of the Serengeti plains; the parts you will visit depend on the location of the great herds.

After breakfast, depart from Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater has the highest density of wildlife in Africa -the crater is home to approximately 30,000 animals at any time.

Ngorongoro Crater offers the best chance of seeing the big five – lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalos within a few hours of entering the crater floor. The bull elephants that reside inside the crater have huge tusks due to the rich mineral content found in its soil.

Later in the late afternoon, drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, depart to Lake Manyara National Park and arrive around mid-morning. The park is located under the western escapement of the great rift valley and is famous for tree-climbing lions, large herds of elephants, and millions of flamingos.

Lake Manyara is a scenic gem; it was once described by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”.
