Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
This morning you might see big cats, elephants and so many other animals on your Serengeti National Park guided game drive. As you explore the park's classic safari landscapes of savannah grasslands, your guide will teach you so much about this remarkable place.
You won’t find many better national parks in Africa than the Serengeti, which has few rivals when it comes to both the
numbers and variety of animals. Track down the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra.
Enjoy the vast horizons that are perfect for spotting predators (especially lions, leopards, cheetahs and spotted hyenas) and their prey (buffaloes, impalas and kongoni), as well as elephants and giraffes. If you’re really lucky you’ll see a hunt, one of the most exhilarating sights anywhere in the wild. And at every turn, revel in its beauty, with flat-topped acacia trees silhouetted against the setting sun, and so many other classic African safari images.

Day 4
Faru Game Drive
Faru Game Drive
Your first sight of Ngorongoro Crater is likely not one you’ll easily forget. As seen from the crater rim, this natural bowl,
both vast and intimate, is one of Africa’s most beautiful natural features, stretching 19 green kilometers (12 miles) from one side to the other.
Down in the crater itself, you’ll explore an astonishingly rich, self-contained ecosystem that is protected by high crater walls. Here, lions and hyenas hunt wildebeest and Grant’s gazelle within sight of elephants and black rhinos. Your day spent here will reveal a surprising variety of habitats, from the Lereal Forest and salty Lake Magadi to the plains that rise and fall gently all across the valley floor.

Maasai Cultural Experience
Maasai Cultural Experience
All good things must come to an end! Enjoy your final meal at the lodge before checking out and embarking on your journey to Arusha. After meeting your driver-guide at reception, you will set off on a relaxing two-hour drive back to where it all began, with your heart and camera filled with memories of your African safari adventure.
On your way back to Arusha, you can visit a Masai village for a cultural tour. As you approach, the villagers will begin performing their traditional Adumu dance. They will bounce on the spot while singing a deep, guttural bass. The men take turns jumping high into the sky like straight-legged bean poles, moving in unison with the chanting until they break the low-toned chant with a high-pitched shriek. You will be dropped off at your hotel in Arusha after the visit.
