After breakfast, depart Arusha and travel towards Lake Manyara National Park, set between the dramatic Rift Valley escarpment and the lake.

Enjoy an afternoon game drive, looking out for elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, abundant birdlife and, with luck, the park's famous tree-climbing lions.

As the afternoon fades, head to a scenic location overlooking the lake for a beautiful African sundowner. Sip a refreshing drink as the changing light transforms the lake and surrounding escarpment into a spectacular evening panorama.

Early rise, breakfast, check out and drive to the vast and golden plains of the Serengeti. It is a land unlike any other where lions roam freely, wildebeest graze, and the crocodile and hippo-filled rivers offer visitors plenty of drama!

Explore the plains immediately on arrival with a game drive enroute to your accommodation.

Have lunch followed by an afternoon game drive. Dinner & Overnight at your Lodge/Camp.

Spend the full day in the stage of the Great Wildebeest Migration. The Maasai say, the Serengeti plains are a place where the land moves on forever.

Track the apex predators, marveling at the sweeping golden grasslands, catch some wildlife/kill action and follow the Great Migration herds. Depending on the season, this focuses on the Southern Plains (calving), Western Corridor or Northern Serengeti (river crossings).

At dusk, your exploration of this paradise ends, and you’ll return to your camp/ Lodge for dinner and overnight.

You also have the option to enjoy some extra activities;

• Balloon Safari over the Mara plains followed by a champagne breakfast
• Bush meals, sundowners and sunrise experience. These experiences often involve fine dining out in the wilderness in secluded natural settings.

Begin your morning in the Serengeti with an early breakfast before setting out on a morning game drive, making the most of your final hours in this extraordinary wilderness.

Continue towards the Ngorongoro Highlands. The journey offers a wonderful transition between two of Tanzania's most iconic landscapes, with opportunities to stop for scenic views and photographs along the way.

As evening falls, enjoy a relaxed dinner and prepare for the following day's Ngorongoro Crater experience.
