Arusha to Ngorongoro
You will be picked up from Arusha and transferred to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You arrive at the campsite in the morning to drop off your luggage. You will then descend more than 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife for an afternoon safari tour.
Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast variety of animals which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephant. Another big drawcard to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopards (which sometimes require a trained eye to spot). We 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 waterbirds can usually be seen here.
Dinner and overnight will be at your requested type of accommodation.

Ngorongoro - Central Serengeti
After breakfast at Simba campsite you will head toward the Serengeti National Park. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa - the Serengeti National Park - with its endless plains rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. We enjoy a game drive en-route to the lodge.
We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in Serengeti National Park. Dinner and overnight will be in the Seronera area as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested.

Day 4
Central Serengeti
Central Serengeti
After breakfast, enjoy a game drive in Serengeti National Park. The wildebeest migration normally passes through the area in April and May, however, the Seronera area is within reach of both the southern plains and the Western corridor. The resident game in the area is phenomenal and a variety of predators and herbivores can be seen here all year round.
Explore the range of different habitats that include swamps, woodland, soda lakes, and the world-famous Serengeti short grassplains. See great herds of wildebeest and zebra. During a short time frame around February, normally lasting for about 3 weeks, the majority of the wildebeest calve. The sea of grass provides little cover and the young are easy pickings for a variety of predators. Wildebeest calves can run minutes after they are born and within 3 days, they are normally strong enough to keep up with the herd.
Dinner and overnight will be in the Seronera area as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested.

Western Serengeti game drive
Western Serengeti game drive
After breakfast, enjoy a full-day game drive in the Western Serengeti. The key feature in the Western Serengeti is the Grumeti River and the Mbalaget River running almost parallel to each other, each supporting a band of evergreen forests. The rivers sustain a permanent game population of zebra, wildebeest, all the predators, and birdlife. It is also possible to find large pods of hippos and huge crocodiles in the Grumeti River. The wildebeest normally gather around waterholes midmorning in such densities that they look like ants swarming around a nest.
