Detailed 4-Day Itinerary

Day 1: Drive to Serengeti National Park

We head towards the Serengeti National Park. We will arrive at lunch time and enjoy our packed lunches. After lunch, we drive into the Serengeti itself and the rest of the afternoon is spent game viewing in the vast plains that are broken only by stands of acacia trees and the occasional kopje. In June, July and August we will normally meet a number of animals in the pack since the pack is at its driest level so it's easy to spot wildlife since the grass is shorter and as you drive to some water sources you can see animals, such as giraffe, buffalo, and elephant, and many large predators such as lion, cheetah, and leopard. Later we drive to our special tented camp/lodge for the night.

Day 2: Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

We have another full day in this wonderful park, rising early to make the most of our time. Our guides will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year; we can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. We journey from the wide open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals and from the top, we can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide us with the ultimate in game viewing, we will hopefully see all of the plain games; elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, lions and if you are lucky the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge amounts of interesting birdlife, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich. We return to our special tented camp for the night.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater and Departure Day

On this day you will drive to fascinating volcanic landscape, the Ngorongoro Crater known as the largest unbroken caldera, you will drive around the rim of the Crater itself, and from here we can look down and see the herd of wildebeest or buffalos. Finally, you descend into the crater. The crater walls provide a natural sanctuary for the animals, which means there is plenty to see: lions, elephants, buffalo, rhino and leopard (if you are lucky). The only animal you won't see in here is a giraffe, whose long legs are unable to cope with the steeps sides of the crater. In the afternoon you will be driven to the airport for your flight back Home.
