Day 1
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
We will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am and take you to a very special national park. Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with 9 different vegetation zones. The park is particularly known for the abundance of ancient baobab trees (the largest trees on the continent) which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The river in the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes and, of course, elephants. In fact, the park has the largest concentration of elephants in the country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. The lunch area is fascinating, boasting an observatory with amazing views of the river and wildlife (with good chances of seeing a hunt while having your picnic).
In the afternoon, we will do a game drive before continuing to your accommodation.
Note: Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.

Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park
Enjoy a beautiful, short journey across the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park for a full-day game drive. Although small in dimension (205 sq miles), the park has breathtaking scenery. It is famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs and mahogany trees, as well as a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys. Permanent residents of this park include giraffes, elephants, impalas and a huge number of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos.
The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that cannot be described in words. The game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake (and its flamingos) in the background.
Today, some extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion. In the afternoon, transfer to the camp for dinner.

Day 3
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. You will drive up the crater highlands, making a quick stop at the rim for an out-of-this-world view of the Ngorongoro Crater. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time.
As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in Swahili, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq miles, and 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 of 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes, including the abundant impalas and Thomson's gazelles. 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 being filmed in this park.
Note: You can downgrade or upgrade your accommodation level.

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro
On this day, we suggest a very early wake-up 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 will return to the camp for a rewarding brunch. We'll then proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World.
The crater spreads for 102 sq miles and has 2,000 ft-high walls, making it virtually Noah's Ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the rare locations on the 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 has huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a wonder of the natural world.
