  • Set against the wall of the Great Rift Valley, the park features groundwater forest, open grassland near the lake foreshore, and the Soda Lake.

Day 03

Lake Manyara to Serengeti via Olduvai Gorge

  • After breakfast, depart at 07:30 am for Serengeti, passing a site associated with the Leakey family's discovery of human and animal fossils dating back almost two million years.
  • Pass through Olduvai Gorge, a canyon carved by water through the southern part of the Serengeti Plain. The gorge is around 50 km long and, in some places, 90 metres deep. Its chief claim to fame is the rich treasure trove of human and animal fossils that it has yielded.

Meals and overnight at Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp.

Day 05

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

  • Today, start very early at 07:00 am with a packed picnic lunchbox for a game drive inside the Ngorongoro Crater. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater because of its 2000 ft. high walls, a population of approximately 25,000 large animals can be seen here. This is reputedly the highest density of mammalian predators in Africa.
  • The crater has the highest known population of mountain reedbuck, zebra, gazelle, and wildebeest. It is also known for the Big Five: rhino, lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo.
  • Try locating hidden animals as you explore. The birdlife is prolific here, and up to 100 species can be seen in one day.
  • Go to the middle of the crater to see a large lake inhabited by hundreds of flamingos, which from a distance appears as a pink border around the lake.

Dinner and overnight at Pamoja Lodge, full board included.

Day 06

Ngorongoro Crater to Tarangire National Park

  • Eat breakfast at the lodge and dedicate this day to Tarangire Park for morning and afternoon game drives. This park is known as the park of elephants and baobabs, as they are scattered everywhere across the landscape.
  • At the same time, the permanent Tarangire River is the source of life for the animals in the park and the nearby protected areas, especially during the dry season, when animals gather along the river for water and greenery.

Stay overnight at Maromboi Tented Camp.
