• Drive to Tarangire National Park by Land Cruiser early in the morning after breakfast, crossing the Maasai Steppe on your way to Tanzania's fourth-largest and one of its most diverse parks.

• Stop at the picturesque park gate while the driver fills in the park registration book.

• Enjoy a full-day game drive in the park while viewing animals in their natural habitat. Soon, the impressive Great Rift Valley Escarpment will come into view - a 2,000-foot-high wall that rises steeply and dramatically out of the flat plains. Elephants, buffaloes, and pythons are regularly seen crossing your path, unbothered by your benign presence and going about their daily routines. You will meander along bush tracks and explore the twists and turns of the Tarangire River, where elephants can be seen drinking and playing in the refreshing waters.

• Arrive at your lodge late this afternoon, where you can settle in and relax before dinner and your overnight stay.

Destination: Ngorongoro Crater Floor

Accommodation: Tarangire Osupuko Lodge, 3-4 star tented camp.

• Have an early breakfast before making your way to the Serengeti's endless plains for afternoon and sunset game drives in the park. You will travel around the southern edge of the crater rim, spotting the occasional hyena, elephant, or African buffalo along the way. By late morning, you will arrive at the famed Serengeti National Park, where the plains seem endless from this vantage point.

• Stop to enjoy your picnic lunch at Naabi Hill before meandering through the wildlife-rich central Serengeti.

• Settle into your accommodation later in the evening at your lodge before joining other travellers in the dining area for some palate teasers in anticipation of a scrumptious meal.

• Gather around the campfire afterwards before heading off to bed.

• Relax in your comfortable surroundings tonight as you are lulled to sleep by the sounds of the Serengeti plains.

• Continue your wildlife viewing for the rest of the day, stopping to enjoy a picnic lunch at your leisure. This is a full-day 'discover Serengeti' game drive, with excellent opportunities to look for the big cats - cheetahs, leopards, and lions. In the evening, drive back to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay.

• Wake up early for an early morning safari in Serengeti before breakfast.

• Have brunch after the game drive and then drive to Ngorongoro. Sunrise game drives start at 6:00 AM and continue until 9:00 AM, after which you will break for breakfast. On this day, your driver-guide will pack a breakfast basket for you so that you can depart early from the lodge for sunrise game drives.

• Enjoy more game drives after breakfast until the afternoon, when you will break for lunch before making your way to the Ngorongoro Crater rim for dinner and your overnight stay.

Destination: Ngorongoro Rim Area

Accommodation: Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge, 3 star hotel

• Rise early for breakfast before spending a half-day exploring the crater floor. The area is world-renowned and very small in scale, so you will likely see other safari-goers. Do not let that distract you from the beauty of the place or from the fact that this remains one of the only places on earth where you may see all of the Big Five at once: lion, leopard, bull elephant, African buffalo, and black rhino. To maximize your time on the crater floor, you will enjoy a special boxed lunch at a scenic picnic spot. Your journey will take you throughout this tremendous landscape, which is constantly changing as animals move to and fro in search of pasture, water, or easy prey.

• Ascend to the rim in the afternoon and drive back to Arusha for dinner and your overnight stay.
