Day 1: Arusha to Serengeti National Park

>> After an early breakfast, you will depart from Arusha to the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. You will drive up the crater highlands, making a quick stop at the rim for an out-of-this-world view of Ngorongoro Crater. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time.
As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the great migration and 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes including the abundant impalas and Thomson's gazelles. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas.

Time: 8-10 hours
Meals: Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Accommodation:Budget camping > inside Central Serengeti NP

Day 2: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

>> On this day we suggest a very early wake-up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness.

After the game drive, you will return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq miles and has 2,000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the black rhinos. The concentration of African wildlife is the greatest on the continent. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. This is due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses.

Time: 8-10 hours
Meals: All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Accommodation:Budget camping on the crater rim of Ngorongoro Crater

Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

>> You will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on Earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful Hippo Lake. After lunch, you will have time for a short game drive and then ascend the crater and exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Arusha. You can expect to be back in Arusha around 5:30 p.m.
