Today our safari Adventure begins! After breakfast, pick up from your hotel and drive for 2 hours to Tarangire National Park. The park is well known for its large elephant herds and abundance of Ancient Baobab trees (the largest trees in the continent).

Day 2: Drive to Serengeti
After breakfast we will depart for Serengeti. A long and bumpy road will take you in about 4-5 hours of a fascinating game on route driving up the crater highlands towards the vast plains of Serengeti. We will stop for a picnic lunch before we check in the park for an afternoon drive. After catching the sunset, we will proceed to Seronera campsite for dinner and overnight.
Day 3: Serengeti to Ngorongoro
Today we will wake up very early in the morning (around 6 am) for a sunrise game drive and to spot the animals when they are most active. We will then stop at a picnic site to enjoy breakfast in the bush and continue with the game drive before returning to the camp (around noon) for hot lunch, load the vehicle, depart camp and continue to Ngorongoro where we will have dinner and overnight at Simba campsite.

Today we will have an early breakfast and descend to the crater immediately. This stunning place will offer you with almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhino and if we are lucky we might spot one.
