From the open roof of the vehicle, you will experience the seasonal swamps, savannah and Tarangire River, which is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to giraffes, impalas, zebras, lions, leopards, elands, warthogs and elephants.

Karatu - Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you proceed via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area traversing the Malanja Depression towards Serengeti, one of the most famous wildlife conservation areas in the world. First, you will make a brief stop at the Naabi Hill Gate where you can go for a short walk at the Naabi Hill kopjes (huge granite boulders) where you can stretch your legs as your guide sorts out the paperwork.
After lunch at the picnic site at the gate, you continue on game drives all afternoon in the vast Serengeti National Park, named after the ancient Maasai word "siringet", which translates to "endless plains". The plains are indeed endless. You will overnight at Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp.

Day 4
Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha/Kilimanjaro - Zanzibar
Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha/Kilimanjaro - Zanzibar
After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a wide variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephant.
Another big drawcard to this picturesque national park is its dense predator population, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater.
A large number of flamingos, hippos and other waterbirds can usually be seen here. In the late afternoon, transfer to Arusha for dinner and overnight or for drop-off at the airport for your flight to Zanzibar.
