Day 1
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
In the early morning, you will drive to Masai Mara National Reserve.
It is one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and attendant predators. You will arrive in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive.
Dinner and overnight are at the campsite or lodge.

Day 2
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
We will spend the whole day in Masai Mara.
After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lion as well as its abundant resident wildlife. It is one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so used to vehicles that they seek shelter from the hot sun under them, and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.
For the bird enthusiasts, almost 500 species have been recorded. These include 16 species of eagles, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustards (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.
Dinner and overnight are at the campsite or lodge.

Day 4
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
You will spend a full day in the Serengeti with a flexible schedule and unlimited mileage.
As you crest the hillside, spread out before you as far as the eye can see, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means "endless plains" in Kiswahili. This 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals, including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators, including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey, which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyraxes, bat-eared foxes, mongoose, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares also inhabit the area, along with nearly 500 species of birds.
You will have an afternoon game drive en route to the campsite, where you will have dinner and overnight.

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro
You will go on a morning game drive in Serengeti and transfer to Ngorongoro.
Today, you will wake up very early to do an early morning safari before breakfast, spot the animals when they are more active, and have a fantastic sunrise in front of you. The sunrise in the African savannah is one of the most beautiful experiences one can have. After the game drive, return to the camp for brunch.
In the afternoon, you'll transfer to Ngorongoro, the 8th Natural Wonder of the World. With walls 2,000 feet high and a crater floor that spreads for 102 sq. miles, the crater is a virtual Noah's Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the rare black rhino. The crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet.
The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusks, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and grasses.
