After breakfast you will start your safari with a drive along the Great Rift Valley to Tarangire, Tanzania’s third largest national park and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife including lion, leopard, cheetah, and up to 6,000 elephants. After game driving you will go with a ranger or Masai on a guided walk at the parks boundaries.

Ngorongoro Crater is often described as one of the wonders of the world. It is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and a a natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s densest animal populations. It is one of the few places where the rare black rhino can be observed in their natural habitat. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 feet high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds and other species. With a bit of luck the “Big 5” can even be spotted all in one game drive! Overnight at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge. All meals included.
Take an excursion to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and arrive in an area called Crater Highlands. Once arriving at Olmoti Crater, you can walk down to the relatively shallow part and see the grassy caldera which is home to eland, bushbuck, and sometimes buffaloes. Water flows across the crater to the south side where it forms a small but spectacular waterfall known as Munge Stream. Visit another crater, named Empakai, which is six kilometers wide and dominated by a deep soda lake which occupies nearly half the floor. Waterbirds and wildlife are often seen around the lake. The whole area is inhabited by some 40,000 Maasai herdsmen and lots of them can be seen during the day. Overnight at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge. All meals included.
From the crater rim you will proceed to the southern part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. En-route you will visit a Maasai village, where the inhabitants will proudly take you around, showing you their dances, jewelry, dwellings, and even take you to the village nursery if you would like. Afterwards, you will visit the Olduvai Gorge Museum with an excellent exhibition about ancient artifacts from the gorge where anthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey made many significant discoveries, contributing to the theory that human life originated in Africa. You will then go on a walking tour of the gorge with a local guide. It is a strenuous descent on a gravel track and the gorge itself is a fairly extensive and interesting, cutting deep into the surrounding rocks. Don’t expect to see the findings which are all on display in the museums but it is still a great hike in a breathtaking landscape. Overnight at Ndutu Safari Lodge or Olaado Tented Camp. All meals included
From Lake Ndutu you are off for your last two days on safari to the “Great Serengeti,” the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world. The vast Serengeti plains cover an area of over 14,763 square kilometers and during the months of the migration (October-July), there are up to 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra, and thompson’s gazelle in the park. The Serengeti “kopjes,” massive boulder islands of granite standing in a sea of grass, provide shelter to a great variety of plants and animals, from leopards to the tiny dik dik. Spend your day on an exciting safari game drive around Serengeti. Overnight at Mapito Tented Camp. All meals included.
