7-Day Tanzania Luxury Safari with Serengeti and Ngorongoro

• Arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport. After clearing customs, look for your driver, who will be waiting for you holding a sign with your name. Your driver will then transport you to Moshi.

Overnight at Springlands Hotel (with breakfast) or similar.

• Drive to Lake Manyara National Park in the morning. Set against the steep escarpment of the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park features an evergreen groundwater forest and a variety of ecosystems, including acacia woodland, grassy plains, a swampy fan delta, and, of course, the expansive lake. This diversity attracts a wide range of mammal, bird, and wildlife species. Manyara is also home to rare tree-climbing lions. The park offers excellent game viewing, with buffalo, impala, giraffe, bushbuck, waterbuck, hippos, and many elephants roaming near the lake.
• Also, look out for blue monkeys, velvet monkeys, and very active olive baboons.

Overnight at Highview Hotel (with lunch, dinner & breakfast) or similar.

• Head out after breakfast for the drive to Serengeti National Park. "Serengeti" is derived from the Maasai language, meaning "endless plain." En route to the Serengeti, you can visit a Maasai village, a perfect place to explore Maasai culture and even participate in some tribal activities.
• Or visit Olduvai Gorge, known as the Cradle of Humanity. The museum is a testament to the long journey that humanity has made from its humble roots in East Africa to its current state as the dominant species on earth.
• Enjoy a game drive en route to your camp.

Overnight at Serengeti Safari Lodge (with lunch, dinner & breakfast) or similar.

• Relax for a full day in the Serengeti - unequalled for its beauty and home to the Great Wildebeest Migration. Vast herds of plains game, such as wildebeest, zebra, and antelope, dominate the park, while predators such as lion and cheetah can be found among the many kopjes scattered across the plain. The landscape varies from open grass plains in the south, to savanna with scattered acacia trees in the center, hilly wooded grassland in the north, and extensive woodland and black clay plains to the west.

• Enjoy the spectacular scenery and game viewing in what has been described as the world's eighth wonder. Many of Tanzania's last remaining black rhinos can be seen grazing on the open grassland of the crater floor, surrounded by some of the 20,000 large animals that occupy the crater, including lion, cheetah, eland, zebra, and gazelle. Flamingos, among other bird species, can often be seen feeding at Makat Soda Lake.
• Afternoon drive to your lodge for your overnight stay.
