Camping
Leave the hotel with packed lunches and drive towards Tarangire National Park, Tanzania's third largest national park and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them.

See animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife in Tarangire, including lions, leopards, cheetahs and up to six thousand elephants. After the day's game drive is over, drive to Fanaka Camp and Lodge for dinner.
Meals
  • Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Camping
Drive to Serengeti National Park in the morning after breakfast, passing the Ngorongoro Conservation Area on the way. Your driver will stop at spots from where you can enjoy some of the most beautiful views of the crater.

You also have the option of travelling to the Olduvai Gorge, considered to be the cradle of mankind, Where Dr Louis and Mary Leakey made the significant discovery of the first man. A picnic lunch will be provided by your driver/guide before you continue game viewing en route. Drive further for some sunset game viewing before going to Seronera Public Campsites for dinner. Stay at the camp overnight.
Meals
  • Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Camping
Start the day early at 5:00 am when you will be picked up for a hot-air balloon ride to see nocturnal predators returning from their night-long hunt. Enjoy a bush breakfast at 10:00 am and continue your game drive afterwards. After lunch, proceed to Ngorongoro. Dinner and overnight stay at Simba Public Campsites.
Meals
  • Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Descend to the bottom of the Ngorongoro Crater after breakfast for a wonderful game drive (picnic lunch included). The crater, which is also the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, is often described as one of the wonders of the world and is a designated Unesco World Heritage site. It is also a natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s densest animal populations and one of the few places where rare black rhinos can be observed in their natural setting.

As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater's 2000ft-high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many other birds and animals. With a bit of luck, you might even end up spotting the Big Five during a single game drive. Drive back to Arusha late in the afternoon and stay there overnight.
