Settle into your en suite room then enjoy dinner and overnight.
Meal plan: Lunch & Dinner
DAY 2: LEAVE LAKE MANYARA / TRANSFER SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
This morning sees your first game drive of the safari in Lake Manyara National Park, home to hippos, elephants, flamingos, plains game, and the famous tree-climbing lions that reside here. The landscape is a mixture of dense forest, small open plains, and lush water-side grasses, a feast for herbivores such as buffalo. Return to the hotel for lunch, then begin the long drive north to the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, arriving in time for dinner and overnight at Seronera Wildlife Lodge – one of the first to be built in the park and so occupying a prime position amongst the rocky outcrops.
Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
DAY 3: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
A spectacular full day game drive with Picnic lunch in the Serengeti today, seeking out the big cats, rhino, buffalo, giraffe, and many others that habituate the vast open plains of this huge park which borders the Maasai Mara in its northeast corner. The sheer scale and seemingly endless horizon in this part of Africa is simply spellbinding.
Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
DAY 4: LEAVE SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK / TRANSFER NGORONGORO CRATER
After breakfast, proceed south out of the park for a morning visit to the archaeological marvel of Olduvai Gorge, the discovery site of some of the earliest ever humanoid remains. Continue to Ngorongoro Crater, one of nature’s true wonders – its collapsed volcanic crater is 12 miles in diameter and 2,000 feet deep. The fertile soil and lake attract a huge range of wildlife, and your afternoon crater tour will seek to uncover them amongst the floor’s forests, grasses, and plains. Dinner and overnight is spent at Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge, magnificently sited on the rim of the crater, all 75 rooms offering stunning views.
