Day 1
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
In the morning, you will be picked up from your accommodation in Arusha by your safari guide. The drive to Tarangire is on a good tarmac road, across the gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. En route, you will pass many Maasai in their colorful dresses walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding their cattle, and driving donkey carts.
Tarangire National Park is well known for its large elephant herds. From the open roof of the vehicle, you will experience the seasonal swamps, savanna, and Tarangire River in search of many animals including zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, elephants, and giraffes. You may catch a glimpse of a lion stalking its prey or leopards watching and relaxing in the trees above. After an extensive game drive, having experienced various sights and sounds of the wilderness, you will leave the park and head to a nearby luxury hotel. Here you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

Ngorongoro Crater to Central Serengeti National Park
After breakfast at the lodge, you will depart for a tour of Ngorongoro Crater. In the afternoon, you will leave for Serengeti National Park (Seronera).
The jewel in Ngorongoro's crown is a deep, volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. About 20 km across, 600 meters deep, and 300 sq km in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder. You will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here.
Serengeti National Park is well known for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the Big Five named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters.

After breakfast, you will continue with both morning and afternoon game drives in Serengeti National Park. This is a migration safari, so as Serengeti is very large, your game drives will depend on the movement of the migrants. Your guide will know very well how to locate the herds. You will have all meals and overnight stay at Serengeti Mara Mara Tented Lodge.

Day 4
Northern Serengeti National Park
Northern Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, you will head out to make the most of the day. There is a chance you may see the animals crossing the Mara River. Hundreds of thousands of desperate wildebeest gather together on the banks of the river, gazing wistfully across the turbulent water at the green grass on the other side but not one animal will make a move. All it takes is one brave wildebeest to take the literal plunge and, then, all follow! The animals that do successfully avoid the awaiting crocodile jaws and make it over the river are rewarded with the lush green grazing grass of the Maasai Mara.
After an extensive game drive, you will head to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.
