• Depart early after breakfast from Manyara and head across the floor of the Great Rift Valley, up the escarpment, and through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area on a pleasant and scenic drive to Serengeti National Park, enjoying the beautiful scenery and breathtaking views along the way.
• Proceed to the Lobo area, located just north of the Seronera area in Central Serengeti National Park. The wildebeest migration normally passes through the Lobo area.
• Break up the drive with one or both of the following activities:
  • Visit the Olduvai Gorge Museum. Sometimes known as the Cradle of Mankind, the Olduvai Gorge Museum commemorates some of the oldest evidence of human habitation ever found.
  • Visit a Maasai boma. You will visit one of the famous Maasai bomas, where you'll have the opportunity to witness, and even participate in, traditional Maasai dance, tour an authentic Maasai village, and do a little souvenir shopping at the local market. Both of the above activities are excluded from your tour and require an additional cost.
• Arrive in the Serengeti in the late afternoon for an evening game drive. Lunch is taken at one of the picnic sites, most likely at Naabi Hill Gate, where you will also have the chance to stretch your legs while your guide sorts out the registration and relevant paperwork.
• Check in at a camp or lodge for dinner.
