Day 1: Arusha – Ngorongoro Meet at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met and transferred to Arusha for lunch.

After lunch proceed to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The caldera of Ngorongoro marks the ancient walls of a collapsed volcano, which was probably once the size

of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Today the completely enclosed circular crater is some twelve miles across, with steep

walls of over 2,000 feet. We are at an altitude of approximately 7,500 feet above sea level, the highest point on

our trip. After our time on the lower plains, the cooler air here is refreshing.

Arrive at your lodge, check in and have lunch at the lodge. Regularly voted one of the best hotels in the

world, this unique lodge clings to the rim of the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, the largest and most perfect

volcanic crater on Earth. Long and low, the lodge is built from local river stone and camouflaged with

indigenous vines. Designed to blend completely into the landscape, it is entirely invisible from the floor of the

Crater 600 metres below.

Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge

DAY 2: Ngorongoro

Early this morning, we descend 2,000 feet to the crater floor, with packed lunches, to explore this natural

zoological park, and observe an extraordinary variety of wildlife: elephant, rhinoceros, lion, hyena, zebra,

wildebeest, Thomson's gazelle, reedbuck, and buffalo. The lovely crested crane (similar to a peacock) can be

found in great profusion here and maybe you'll spot a bat-eared fox. The balance of predator and prey in this

extraordinary ecosystem is so precise that animals seldom leave. Our exact route is decided on the spot by

our expert safari guides, depending on where the animals are. An insider's tip: bring plenty of film-you may

never take better wildlife photos anywhere else.

Ngorongoro Crater is said to be one of the natural wonders of the world. A spectacular game haunt, the 102-

square-mile crater is a perfect caldera, one of the largest on earth. Millions of years ago a smoldering volcano

collapsed, creating the crater and a home for thousands of animals amidst its many types of vegetation grown

and nourished over the centuries. Over 30,000 animals live here: prides of lion, elephant, leopard, cheetah

and giraffe, gazelle by the thousands and multitudes of wildebeest.

Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge

DAY 3

Ngorongoro - Serengeti After breakfast, depart for Serengeti National Park arriving at your lodge in time for lunch.

After lunch, proceed for an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park.

With its wide-open spaces, bright blue skies and creature-filled landscape, over the next two days we will

discover why the fabled Serengeti typifies the dream of “Old Africa.” Large prides of lions laze in the long

grasses; plentiful families of elephants feed on acacia bark and trumpet to each other across the plains, while

giraffes, gazelles, monkeys, eland and the whole range of African wildlife present themselves in awe-

inspiring numbers.

Dinner and overnight at Seronera Wildlife Lodge

Afternoon game drive in Lake Manyara national park, Nestling at the base of the Great Rift Valley

escarpment, the park is recognized for its incredible beauty. You are likely to see game animals such as

elephant, giraffe, baboon, Zebra and buffalo. As you enter the gate, you pass into the lush forest, home to

troops of baboons and blue monkeys. Buffalo and hippo lurch into the adjacent hippo pool. The vegetation

eventually merges into flat topped acacia woodland where, in the heat of the day, entire prides of lion can be

seen stretched on the branches of these trees.

Dinner and overnight at Migunga Tented Camp
