Day 4: Lake Manyara - Serengeti

After breakfast, depart with picnic lunch for Serengeti National Park with game drives en route stopping briefly at the Olduvai gorge - a pre historic archeological site.

This land is justifiably famous for its huge concentrations of wildlife, especially the big cats, as well as being the stomping ground of the Great Migration, a massive accumulation of 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles stretching their legs over 1,200 miles in an annual race to find enough water and green grass for their survival.

The National Park is broadly divided into three distinct areas, the Seronera Valley and Seronera River, the Western Corridor and the Northern Lobo area that extends northwards through the Lamai Wedge to the Maasai Mara.

Most visitors enter the Serengeti through the southern Naabi Hill Gate, which opens onto the Seronera Valley; a vibrant wildlife area at the heart of the Serengeti.

Day 6: Ngorongoro Conservancy

After breakfast depart Serengeti National Park driving to Ngorongoro with game drives en route. On arrival in Ngorongoro, descend into the Crater with picnic lunch boxes for a half  day crater tour with game drives.

 Ngorongoro is a fascinating and unusual Conservation Area which includes the Ngorongoro Crater at its centre, and then extends through the Crater Highlands, in which local tribes are permitted to maintain their traditional lifestyles in as natural environment as possible.

This extraordinary volcanic landscape is rich and fertile, with stunning craters and lakes, and the high altitude creates a malaria-free micro climate.

The crater is said to have the highest concentration of wildlife in Africa. As such, Ngorongoro Crater has achieved world renown, and attracts a growing number of visitors each year. Even if time is limited this natural but accessibly small caldera ensures a rewarding safari.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact caldera in an exceptional geographical position, forming a spectacular bowl of about 265 sq km with sides up to 600m deep. It is the stalking ground of 20 - 30,000 wild animals at any one time.

Later in the evening, ascend back for dinner and overnight at Crater Forest Lodge

 

Day 7: Ngorongoro – Arusha - Nairobi

After breakfast depart for Arusha to catch a flight to either catch a flight to Zanzibar for a beach holiday or board a shuttle bus to Nairobi.
