Day 01

Day 02

Mara River Migration Game Drive in Northern Serengeti

After a hearty breakfast at the camp, you'll set off for a full-day game drive in the Northern Serengeti, along the iconic Mara River, where you may witness the dramatic wildebeest crossing - an unforgettable moment in nature.

The Serengeti's landscape is simply mesmerizing. While much of the park is made up of seasonally flooded plains, forests, and shrub savannahs, its true beauty lies in the grassy plains that stretch for miles. Being surrounded by millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. As the animals migrate north, they stampede across vast plains, braving crocodile-infested rivers, all while predators remain in constant pursuit.

After a picnic lunch amidst the Serengeti's plains, you'll continue your game drive into the evening. As the sun sets, you'll return to the camp, where the warmth of a crackling bushfire awaits, allowing you to unwind and reflect on the day's incredible adventure.

In the late afternoon, you'll head back to your lodge for a hot, tasty lunch. Afterward, you'll continue your game drive, making your way across the Serengeti's vast landscapes until sunset. As the day winds down, you'll return to your accommodation for some well-deserved relaxation and an overnight stay, ready to reflect on the day's adventures.

Day 04

Ngorongoro Crater Wildlife Safari

After a delicious breakfast, you'll collect your picnic lunches and head off to visit one of the seven African wonders - the Ngorongoro Crater. Formed millions of years ago by a massive volcanic eruption, the fertile lava has created a unique ecosystem, making it home to the highest concentration of wildlife anywhere in Africa.

The Ngorongoro Crater is teeming with lion families, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeests, and much more. This is one of the best places in the world to spot the rare black rhino, making it an unforgettable experience.

After an incredible day exploring the crater, your driver guide will take you to Marera Valley Lodge, where you can unwind with a relaxing dinner and enjoy a peaceful overnight stay.
