Lunch will be a picnic in the park, after which you'll have the chance to visit a traditional Maasai village (optional activity, with an extra fee of $20 per person). Here, you'll experience their vibrant culture, greeted with traditional songs and dances, and explore their homes and way of life.

Today, you have the option to choose between a full-day game drive or a morning game drive followed by a break and an afternoon/evening game drive. Both options will provide ample time to witness the incredible wildlife of the Serengeti, including the Big Five, zebras, giraffes, hippos, cheetahs, and much more.

After breakfast, you'll begin your journey to the Ngorongoro Crater. Along the way, you can visit the historic Olduvai Gorge, an archaeological site known for its significance in the study of early humans (extra fee of $45 per person). Lunch will be served as a picnic during the journey, and upon reaching Ngorongoro Crater, you'll embark on an afternoon game drive. This unique, biodiverse area is home to a variety of animals, including buffalo, wildebeest, zebras, waterbucks, and gazelles, all within the stunning caldera. You'll spend the night at your chosen accommodation either inside or on the rim of the crater.
Start your day with breakfast before heading to Lake Manyara, passing through the breathtaking Great African Rift Valley. Lunch will be served picnic-style along the way, surrounded by nature. Lake Manyara is known for its alkaline waters and lush surroundings, creating a different atmosphere compared to previous parks. The abundant tree cover may allow you to spot the park's famous tree-climbing lions. Other wildlife, including baboons, elephants, and hippos, can also be seen here. In the evening, you'll return to your accommodation for dinner and rest.
After breakfast, you'll leave Lake Manyara and head to Arusha for a lunch break, marking the end of your safari in Tanzania.

After breakfast, you'll set out for a day of exploration across Amboseli, with your expert guide helping you track and identify the many species that inhabit the park. The highlight of the park is its population of elephants, along with zebras, giraffes, lions, and hippos. Lunch will be served picnic-style in the park, giving you a chance to take in the sights and sounds of the African savanna. After a full day of safari, return to your accommodation for dinner and an evening of relaxation.
On your final day of safari, you'll wake early to watch the sun rise over the plains, with the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.
