After breakfast, depart for Serengeti National Park via the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We leave the highlands behind and descend into the heart of wild Africa, the Serengeti National Park, with its endless plains stretching as far as the eye can see. Then we go to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife that is well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Dinner and overnight at the Nyani Campsite

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater-Arusha
Distance: 210km
Non – game viewing time: 3 – 4 hrs
After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthogs, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here. Late afternoon transfer to Karatu.
Day 5: Lake Manyara National Park-Arusha
Distance: 10km
Non – game viewing time: 20 – 30Mnts
After breakfast, you will check out and depart with a packed lunch for an exciting game drive in Lake Manyara National Park. The lake takes up a large portion of the park, and the forest begins just after crossing the park gate, along the base of the Great Rift Valley, with the hot spring to the west. The famous tree-climbing lion, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, and baboon troops can all be found in the park. You will also see the magnificent pink flamingo, ostrich, Egyptian geese, and other animals. After your picnic lunch, you will go on an afternoon game drive and then to a Maasai village to learn about the Maasai people’s various activities and cultures.
