• After breakfast, head out towards Serengeti National Park and travel through the never-ending plain grasslands. The Serengeti is arguably the most impressive wildlife sanctuary in the world.

• Enjoy an afternoon game drive in the endless plains of the Serengeti for a chance to see the great herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, or a pride of lions lounging in the shade. A picnic lunch will be taken during the day-long game drive itself.

• The eventful day comes to an end with a hearty dinner and a good night's rest at your accommodation.

Accommodation included: Tortilis camps

• The whole day will be spent on a game drive in the central Serengeti National Park. The areas you visit will depend on the location of the herds. During the short rainy season in November and December, the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south, while during the longer rainy season from April to June, they return north again. This circle of life is determined by the rainfall, and the location of the herds may vary from year to year, but your guide will know where to find the animals and where to see them best.

• A visit to the Serengeti Visitor Centre is also possible. Here, you can learn more about the history of the park and the research being carried out by the Frankfurter Zoological Society.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Accommodation included: Tortilis camps

• After an early breakfast, descend to the crater floor for a 5-hour game drive. You can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many birds. Birds seen here include eagles, vultures, flamingos in the Crater Lake, storks, bats, giant vultures, sacred ibis, kori bustards, blacksmith plovers, long-necked herons, and cattle eagles.

• After a picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo Pool, begin the steep ascent to the top exit of the crater.

• With a 2-hour drive remaining to your accommodation in Karatu, the day comes to a close. A freshly made delicious dinner will be ready for you at your chosen accommodation. After several days on safari, a good rest is essential before the final leg of your journey begins the next day.

Accommodation included: Bougainvillea Safari Lodge

• The final day of your safari begins as usual by 8:00 am after a luscious breakfast. Today's destination is Arusha via Lake Manyara National Park, where you will enjoy a half-day game drive.

• As you enter the national park by 9:00 am, lush forests of acacia and mahogany trees begin to set the mood for what lies ahead. The game drive continues until mid-afternoon with a short break for a picnic lunch. During the drive, watch out for buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, baboons, and blue monkeys. Another spectacle of Lake Manyara National Park is its tree-climbing lions; however, spotting them is a matter of luck. In the right season, you can see the shoreline turning pink with millions of flamingos flocking there.

• By mid-afternoon, you will leave the park and head towards Arusha, where you will be dropped off at your preferred location at about 6:00 pm. With incredible experiences and many memories to cherish, this is the time to bid goodbye to your team.
