Day 1
Zanzibar - Serengeti
Zanzibar - Serengeti
Fly from Zanzibar Airport at 07h35 and arrive in Serengeti at 10h50. On arrival at Seronera Airstrip, meet your professional and well-experienced local English-speaking safari driver-guide. After greetings, he will give you a short pre-safari briefing and then embark on a game drive in Serengeti National Park for a chance to see the great herds of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles or a pride of lions lounging in the shade.
The Serengeti, at 15,000 square kilometers, is one of the largest parks in Africa. It is home to some 3 million large mammals and has a diversity of landscapes. The southern region is dominated by the lush grassy plains, which draw about 2 million wildebeest, half a million zebra and some quarter million antelope to make the hazardous journey in search of pasture when the autumn rains come.

Day 2
Game Drives in Serengeti National Park
Game Drives in Serengeti National Park
The great migration (also known as the "Serengeti migration") is arguably the greatest wildlife show on earth. It is the largest single movement of wildlife on earth in search of water, pasture, and breeding grounds. In addition to the great migrating herds, we may also see cheetah, lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, wildebeest, hartebeest, topi, eland, crocodile, Thomson’s and Grant’s Gazelle, among many more.
With over 500 bird species identified, the park is a veritable ornithological paradise. Ostrich abound, including the secretary bird, the marabou stork, and the largest flying bird on earth, the kori bustard. We will seek out these creatures with the keen intuition and experience of our "wild guide". With the day drawing to a close, we will return to our lodge to unwind, dine and relax by the fire under the endless East African sky.

Day 3
Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater
Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. After a hot lunch at Ngorongoro Lodge, go on an afternoon crater tour.
Descend 2,000 feet (over 600 meters) to the floor of the crater (more precisely, a caldera). This 304 square kilometer enclosed ecosphere was formed some 2 or 3 million years ago in the massive explosion of a volcano once higher than Kilimanjaro. It offers the best game-viewing opportunities in Tanzania.
Explore the forest areas inhabited by monkeys and elephants, the lake area, where you may see the flamingos, and the open savannah where the lions hunt. With some 25,000 large mammals within the caldera, you will have the opportunity to see, in addition to the "Big Five" (elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, and leopard), animals such as wildebeest, gazelle, reedbuck, bushbuck, hartebeest, hippo, antelope, both Grant’s and Thompson’s gazelle, and impala, to name a few, as well as over 500 bird species.
