Day 1
Transfer from Zanzibar to Tarangire National Park
Transfer from Zanzibar to Tarangire National Park
When you arrive at Arusha Airport from Zanzibar, you will be picked up by our personal safari guide. We will set out for Tarangire National Park on a good tarmac road across gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along, we'll pass many Maasais in their colorful dress walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle and driving donkey carts.
Tarangire National Park, well known for its large elephant herds, is also home to a wide variety of other animals. From the open roof of our state-of-the-art safari Jeep, we'll experience the seasonal swamps, the savannah, and the life-giving Tarangire River. You'll encounter many animals, from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name a few. It is possible to glimpse lions stalking prey or leopards watching, relaxing in the trees above.
After our extensive game drive, experiencing the varied sights and sounds of the wilderness, we'll drive to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Day 2
Transfer from Karatu to Southern Serengeti (Ndutu)
Transfer from Karatu to Southern Serengeti (Ndutu)
After our hearty breakfast, we will head out to enjoy a full-day game drive in the Ndutu region. We endeavor to explore the range of habitats found here, including swamps, woodland, soda lakes, and the world-famous Serengeti short-grass plains. We will see the awesome sight of the great thronging herds of wildebeests and zebras. During a short time frame around January, normally lasting for about 3 weeks, the majority of the wildebeest calves are dropped in the region of half a million young in this awesome act of synchronized birthing. The sea of grass provides little cover, and young wildebeest calves can run within minutes of birth. Within 3 days, they are normally strong enough to keep up with the herd.
As our full day of adventure upon the "endless plain" ends, we will depart for our accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3
Transfer from Ngorongoro to ARK or Kilimanjaro Airport back to Zanzibar
Transfer from Ngorongoro to ARK or Kilimanjaro Airport back to Zanzibar
After breakfast, we'll head out for an en-route game drive through the Serengeti. We may, with lady luck on our side, spot all of the Big Five across the endless plain to the Ngorongoro Crater. This UNESCO World Heritage Site formed millions of years ago with the massive explosion of a volcano once higher than Kilimanjaro. It is 610 m deep and covers roughly 304 sq km.
Due to its dense animal population of approximately 25,000 ungulates, the crater offers the best game viewing. We will arrive at the crater rim before lunch. With our overview of the spectacular landscape that spreads out before our eyes stored in our memories and memory cards, we descend the bumpy, winding track that brings us onto the crater floor. Very quickly, we will see wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and elephant, and if we're lucky, the black rhino through the grass.
After lunch and a full afternoon inside the crater, we'll transfer to Arusha back to Zanzibar, where the safari will end.
