On this day, after breakfast, your driver will pick you up and begin your trip to Serengeti National Park via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with lunch boxes. Stop over at a Maasai village, where you can expect a traditional welcome.
You will then proceed to Serengeti National Park for an en route game drive to explore the beauty of the park, where you may be able to spot several wild animals such as lions, leopards, black rhinos, elephants, zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, and African Cape buffalo.
You will continue with the game drive until late afternoon, after which your safari driver will transfer you to your camp or lodge for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

Day 04

After breakfast, you will depart with picnic lunches for a full-day game drive to experience vast herds of wildebeests, zebras, elands, gazelles, dik-diks, impalas, warthogs, lions, cheetahs, rhinos, hippos, leopards, hyenas, giant Nile crocodiles, and the beauty of the landscape stretching without end beneath an infinite sky in the Serengeti. In the evening, return to your camp or lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 05

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Departure

After breakfast, depart with lunch boxes for a visit to Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most beautiful natural sights in Africa, where you will experience otherworldly beauty and extraordinary wildlife.
Watch as the morning mist rolls up and over the crater rim from above, and notice how the steep walls suggest a place unlike any other. Down on the crater floor, explore a lost world preserved in a state of pristine isolation, sheltering lions and hyenas, elephants and black rhinos, flamingos, and golden jackals.
There are also forests, hippo-filled lakes, a salt pan, and hyena dens, and you will never lose the sense that you have stumbled into a safari theme park where everything is wild.
You will have your lunch from lunch boxes at the picnic area inside the park while enjoying the magnificent view of the Ngorongoro landscape. Afterward, transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your departure.
