The wide grassy plains, ancient baobab trees, and the winding Tarangire River make a beautiful backdrop, creating lovely scenes for your wildlife experiences.

Early after breakfast and head across the Great Rift Valley’s floor, up the escarpment, and traverse the Ngorongoro Conservation area in what will ultimately end up being an enjoyable scenic drive as you enjoy the beautiful scenery and breathtaking vistas on your way to the Serengeti National Park. Arrive in the Serengeti in the afternoon. On day 2, you can wake up early for a sunrise game drive to try and catch up with the rare nocturnal animal species, as well as the early risers among the diurnal ones. It is a nice time to see animals within a close distance, as most game like to line up at the roadside to escape the morning dew. After breakfast at your camp, you will then spend the day doing game drives for the whole day within the Serengeti National Park.

After breakfast at your lodge, you will descend early into the Crater floor for game drives in the Ngorongoro Crater. The earlier you descend to the Crater floor so you may descend after breakfast or even with a packed breakfast to be at the Crater floor as early as you can and better your chances of seeing the rare animals like black rhinos with a little luck. You'll spend the better part of the morning exploring the Ngorongoro Crater until lunchtime. Ngorongoro Crater, with its 60 to 650 meter high walls, is like a natural zoo with the highest concentration of wild animals. It is here where you can even spot the Big Five in one day if lucky enough. After picnic lunch, which you will most likely take at the hippo poolside designated picnic site, you will drive up the Crater rim and out of the Conservation area to Arusha Airport for your one-hour flight to Zanzibar.

You will spend the rest day exploring the beauty of Zanzibar. You can visit historic Stone Town, relax on the white-sand beaches, enjoy a spice tour, or take a boat trip to nearby islands.
