Days 3 – 5
Serengeti National Park
You have plenty of time to explore the Serengeti, one of the most beautiful National Parks in the world, boasting an incredible selection of wildlife. Your game drives will follow the wildlife’s seasonal movement, which at this particular time of year is especially good for viewing big cats hunting. Our safaris have no limit on mileage and time on game drives.

(By extending the safari by one day you will be able to do an excursion to the Lobo area, endless ‘rolling plains’ in Northern Serengeti. Close by, the ‘Gagoti’ region is famous for its residential leopards, which we will try to spot before returning Central Serengeti

Serengeti Excursion
On request we book balloon safaris in the Serengeti, which take-off early morning, offering a spectacular sunset from an eagle’s viewpoint, an exhilarating flight and unforgettable adventure. After your flight (of approx one hour) enjoy a champagne breakfast on the Serengeti plains before returning to your camp at about 09.30hrs.

Day 6
Serengeti National Park – Ngorongoro Crater
An early start through a curtain of dust leaves the endless plains of the Serengeti behind en route to Ngorongoro Crater. At midday decent 2000 feet onto the crater floor, where you will experience the great variety and density of wildlife that lives in the second largest Caldera on earth. Experience a solitary game-drive in the late afternoon, as most people have already left the crater-floor. Silent beauty beneath soft rays highlights increased animal activity as the sun fades. Wrap up warm, as nights at the Crater Rim are always chilly.

Dinner and Overnight: Ngorongoro Serena Safari lodge

Day 7
Tarangire – Arusha
Set off for Tarangire National Park, renowned for its huge elephant herds and giant Baobab trees. The mighty Tarangire River winds its way through the park and nourished it year round, attracting large groups of wildlife, particularly during the dry season. Afterwards return to Arusha.
