Day 2
Home of Elephant Paradise
Early in the morning, after breakfast, around 7:30 am, you will have a short briefing before you depart for Tarangire National Park. The park is famous for impressive baobab trees and seasonal marshes and is also home to the largest population of elephants in Northern Tanzania. You are also likely to spot giraffes, buffaloes, lions, zebras, gnus and other types of antelopes and gazelles. Your guide will open the roof of the vehicle for excellent wildlife viewing. A hot lunch will be served at the picnic site, after which you will continue to explore this incredible park. In the evening, after your exploration, you will drive to your accommodation in Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3
The Endless Plain
After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will know why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometers); for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the great migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings that were filmed in this park.

Day 4
Central Serengeti
As the sound of Africa arouses you from sleep, you will freshen up and go to the main area for breakfast. After breakfast, your driver-guide will pick you up and drive to the park for a full-day game drive. If you love animals, then the Serengeti is a good place to be. Here, you will find the real Mufasa, Nala, Simba, and Scar, thanks to the Disney film “The Lion King”. Around 3,000 lions live in the Serengeti ecosystem. They are relatively easy to spot, not just because of their numbers, but also because they like to sleep under trees for hours each day. In fact, lions can lounge around for about 20 hours a day. The Serengeti also has bush elephants, Cape buffaloes, birds like kori bustards, Fischer’s lovebirds, and many others. Later in the evening, you will drive back to the lodge for relaxation, dinner, and overnight. Luxury lodge located less than 1hr drive from Ngorongoro Crater All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks

Day 5
Ngorongoro Crater
On this day, we suggest a very early wake-up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 square miles and has 2,000 feet-high walls, making it virtually Noah's Ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations on the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a wonder of the natural world. Later in the afternoon, you will head back to your accommodation in Arusha or to the airport. All meals included Non-alcoholic drinks
