Day 3: The Serengeti


Transfer to Manyara Airstrip for the flight to the Serengeti and Grumeti River Camp. Grumeti River Camp is a luxury-tented camp situated in the Northern Serengeti, overlooking the Grumeti River and along the migratory route of the Serengeti wildebeest. Your ranger and 4x4 vehicle will meet you, and drive you to your luxurious tented safari camp. Enjoy morning and afternoon game viewing drives in open safari vehicles and experience close-up encounters with lion, leopard and other wildlife.

Day 4: The Serengeti


Enjoy the entire day in the Serengeti on morning and afternoon game drives - returning to the lodge for meals. Depending on the exact location of the migration during your stay, it is possible to take a picnic lunch on your drive in order to cover as much distance as possible and witness this wildlife spectacular.

Accommodation :   Grumeti River Camp

Day 5: The Serengeti


Another full day to enjoy all the splendours that the famous Serengeti has to offer. In the local venacular, Serengeti means "the endless plains that go up to the sky", and they do just that. It is therefore easy to understand why this is the most popular and spectacular of all game reserves in East Africa. Life in the park centres on the annual triangular trek of several million wildebeest. The movement never stops, as the animals constantly seek out new grazing grounds.

Accommodation :   Grumeti River Camp

Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater


Enjoy breakfast and game viewing en route to the airstrip for your scheduled flight to the Manyara Airstrip where you will be met by a representative from Ngorongoro Crater Lodge for the transfer to Ngorongoro Crater. This is a fascinating road transfer that allows you to travel through some real Tanzanian countryside. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, built on the edge of the Crater, is a stunning lodge that looks almost like a Masai Village from the outside - but the inside of the suites will amaze you. Log fires, private butlers, rose strewn bathrooms, and Victorian baths are just some of the features that will welcome you. Accommodation is on a full board basis for 3 nights, and this includes scheduled shared game activities.
