Days 3 - 4: Ngorongoro Crater

Your journey continues with two days exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest inactive volcanic caldera. Descending into the crater for an early morning game drive, the cool morning air allows for us to see some active wildlife. As the temperatures rise, we may head to the hippo pool to see these spectacular creatures enjoying a dip to beat the heat. As lunch approaches, we make our way to the picnic site on the lake, taking in the spectacular views and a bite to eat. Spend the next few days spotting a multitude of different species, from elephants, hippos and giraffes to the majestic Crater Lions and ravenous hyenas.

Days 5 - 7: Serengeti National Park

There was a reason that "The Lion King" creators drew their inspiration from the Serengeti, and today you will get to discover why. Renowned for its' large lion population, this may be the best opportunity to get a great view of a Lion Pride in their natural habitat, as the gazelles, zebras, and buffalo are abundant in this region. Come during the right season, and witness the birth of the wildebeest calves, where they will begin their annual migration to Kenya at the end of May. Over the next few days, we venture out into the far reaches of the park to explore all this wonderful region has to offer.

Day 8: Lake Manyara National Park

Our final day of Safari has arrived, and Lake Manyara National Park is the perfect place to end our journey. With over 400 species of birds, including the flamingos famous for making this park their home, this is an ideal park for the bird aficionado. If we are lucky, we may be able to spot a lazy leopard lounging in a tree, waiting for his next meal, which is all but guaranteed with the variety of species living by the lake. After our final afternoon game drive, we head back to Arusha, where we will check into our hotel and enjoy a final meal with your guide to toast the trip.
