Upon pick up from your resident hotel/airport, drive to the famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Your overnight stay will be at Mara Serena Lodge. Lunch and dinner are provided. Drinking water will also be provided every day per person. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa.
As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras and attendant predators. You will arrive in time for lunch which will be followed by an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight will be at the lodge.

A full day exploring Masai Mara
A full day exploring Masai Mara
Here is yet another great day for you. You will spend a full day in the Maasai Mara. After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lions and abundant resident wildlife, and it's one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning's game drive. Many cheetahs are so used to vehicles that they seek shelter from the hot sun under them, and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For bird enthusiasts, almost 500 species have been recorded; 16 species of eagles, many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 species of bustards (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.
Dinner and overnight are at the lodge.

After breakfast, you will drive to Isebania Tanzania/Kenya border and get your visa and then drive to Serengeti National Park, where you will have game drives at Serengeti National Park. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided. Drinking water will be provided every day per person.
The endless plains of Serengeti are also the setting for the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle—the 1.5 million wildebeest endless migration in search of fresh pastures. Each year they trek over 2,500km and are constantly threatened and followed by some of Africa’s greatest predators. Depending on the time of your visit, your driver guide will be able to share with you where the herd’s current location.
After border formalities, we will drive to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It will be a long day of driving, but the game drives in and out of the parks can be surprisingly incredible.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
One full day in the Serengeti with a flexible schedule and unlimited mileage. After breakfast, you will proceed with your game drive in Central Serengeti.
As you crest the hillside, spread out before you, as far as the eyes can see, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means "endless plains" in Kiswahili. This 6,900 sq mile (18,000 sq km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongoose, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares also inhabit the area, along with nearly 500 species of birds. In the afternoon, you'll enjoy a game drive en-route to the campsite.
Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro
Today, you will wake up early for a morning safari before breakfast. This will allow you to spot the animals when they are more active and also to enjoy a fantastic sunrise. The sunrise in the African savannah is one of the most beautiful experiences. After the game drive, return to the camp for brunch.
In the afternoon, transfer to Ngorongoro, the 8th Natural Wonder of the World. With walls 2,000 feet high and a crater floor that spreads for 102 sq. miles, the crater is a virtual Noah's Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the rare black rhino. The crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet. The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusks due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and grasses.
