Day 1: Arusha - Serengeti National Park
In the morning after breakfast, your driver/guide will pick you up and proceed to Serengeti National Park with picnic lunch boxes. You will enjoy game drives en-route and a full-day game drive in the Serengeti. Depending on the season, you'll follow the wildebeests' migration.

Day 2: Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater
Early in the morning after breakfast, the guide will take you for a game drive. Thereafter, depart to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You will have a stopover at Olduvai Gorge, boasting a history dating back to the dawn of time. It was here, that the anthropologists Dr Lois and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of the Nutcracker and Handy Man.
Accommodation: Migombani Campsite
Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha
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 hosts a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, elands, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants.
Another big drawcard 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.
You 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 are usually seen here. Late in the afternoon, you will head back to Arusha.
