Arusha- Serengeti National Park

After you've had breakfast, you'll head to Serengeti National Park. Depending on the time of year, you might get a chance to see a bunch of wildebeests, zebras, and Thompson gazelles on their big move. In October and November, during a little rainy season, they usually go from Kenya's Masai Mara through the northwest part of Serengeti to the south plains. After the big rainy season in April, May, and June, they slowly make their way back through the west and northwest of Serengeti. But remember, the schedule can change with how much it rains.

Your guide will do their best to find these animals and make sure you see them from the best spot in the park. Of course, where there are herds, there are also predators, so if you're lucky, you might witness a hunt. You'll spend the night at Tanzania Bush Camp.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After you have breakfast early in the morning, at around 6:15 a.m., you'll go down into the crater to try and find the elusive black rhino. They're the trickiest to spot in this stunning place because the other animals are more visible on the crater floor.

After you've had lunch, you'll continue your wildlife adventure in Ngorongoro Crater with another drive. Later on, you'll head back to Arusha.
