After breakfast, your driver-guide will drive from the hotel to Tarangire National Park, about 4 hours from Arusha. Tarangire is the third-largest national park and a sanctuary for a usually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees stand prominently in the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them.

Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife, including lion, leopard, cheetah, and up to six thousand elephants. Enjoy a half-day game drive in the park.

Maramboi Tented Camp offers permanent camp facilities and endless vistas of rolling golden grasslands and palm-lined desert between Tarangire and Lake Manyara. A visit to the area is essential for anyone interested in evolution, the origins of mankind, and an explanation of the Rift Valley and Africa's big picture.

After breakfast, begin your safari towards Serengeti National Park. A picnic lunch will be provided. On your way to the Serengeti, you will stop at Olduvai Gorge, where the anthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey made many significant discoveries that contributed to the theory that human life originated in Africa.

After stopping for your picnic lunch on a kopje (rock outcropping) in the Serengeti, you will continue further into the park and proceed with a game drive. The Serengeti Savannah Camps are private and intimate camps scattered around various locations in Serengeti National Park.

After breakfast at the lodge, embark on an early morning game drive in the park. The migration, consisting of around 2 million animals, is on the move all year round. Depending on the season, you may witness this impressive phenomenon. Naturally, it also attracts a mass of predators, and you may be able to see a band of lionesses gather for a hunt.

Return to the lodge for lunch and gather strength for the afternoon game drive. Situated in the Grumeti Game Reserve adjacent to Serengeti National Park, Grumeti Migration Camp offers intimate wilderness camp facilities in the heart of one of Africa's most vital and important wilderness areas. Our flagship property, Grumeti Migration Camp, consists of 10 individual tented suites along with a separate dining, lounge, and bar area.

After breakfast, you will descend into the crater for a wonderful game drive with a picnic lunch within Ngorongoro Crater, a World Heritage Site holding a permanent population of more than 30,000 animals. As only very few of these migrate in and out of the crater, with its 2,000 ft-high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds, and other species.

The crater is also home to the rare black rhino, which is almost extinct in Tanzania. With a bit of luck, you will see the Big Five during the game drive. A warm and friendly welcome awaits guests who want to experience the best of Tanzanian hospitality.
