Day 2
Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
Tarangire to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you will start the safari by being transferred to the central part of the Serengeti (also called Seronera). Your driver will try to find the animals you’re most interested in. Close to lunchtime, you will visit the Serengeti Visitor Centre where you will be offered a lunchbox. Lots of interesting information, not only about the animal populations, but also about the history of the national park, will be provided. In this area you will also see hyraxes, which are the elephants' closest relatives.
It is difficult to describe in detail all the animals of the Serengeti valley, for they number in the thousands - elephants, buffaloes, ostriches, giraffes, jackals, hyenas, lions, antelopes, leopards and cheetahs. Just keep your eyes peeled and enjoy the nature around you. In the evening, you will be transferred to the northern part of the Serengeti and then to your campsite.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you go on a game-viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River. It is good for possible lion, Thomson's gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah sightings. The visitor’s centre, not far from the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites, is well worth a visit after the morning’s game drive. This nicely designed centre offers some interesting wildlife displays, as well as a gift shop selling information leaflets and maps of the area. The centre also has a shop where cold drinks and snacks can be purchased. There is also a picnic area and an information trail up and around a nearby kopje. We will enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at the centre, in the shade of the giant acacia trees.
In the afternoon, we will follow the Kopjes Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Maasai Kopjes. It usually attracts a number of lions and some formidably large cobras. We return for dinner and overnight at your campsite.

Day 4
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
On your last day, it is best to leave the hotel as early as possible so you can see the variety of animals that are only active during the morning hours. Breakfast will be packed in lunchboxes specifically for this purpose. At 6:30 am, you will set off for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and after about several hours, you will be inside the crater.
The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world. It is home to an estimated 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most famous and interesting of Tanzania’s national parks, because here you can find the greatest number of different animal species.
Enjoy your picnic lunch in the crater, after which we travel back to Arusha and transfered to the Airport or Hotel where we will end our Tanzania safari.
