Safari Overview
This is a very special tour that concentrates in the Serengeti, to follow the great migration. You will spend at least 3 nights in the park, usually two in the Central Area (largest concentration of big cats) and two where the migration is according to the time of the year. We have designed this particular tour so that you finish the safari in the most remote location in the Serengeti, then fly from there to your next destination. But we can redesign it to return to Arusha by land.

Tour Plan
You'll be picked up from your hotel at 8: 00 am and start a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full-day game drive. Although small in dimension (205sq miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs and mahogany trees, as well as to a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys.
Permanent residents of this park include giraffes, elephants, impalas and a huge number of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos. The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that can not be described in words.
The game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the background. Some extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion.

In the afternoon return to the Escarpment Luxury Lodge for dinner.
Ngorongoro Crater is considered one the Wonders of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102sq miles and has 2,000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa.
It's one of the very rare locations on the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino.
The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which, are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World.
We will start the day very early with a transfer to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on Earth.
Overnight
After a fantastic afternoon game drive, ascend the crater and transfer to the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the World, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time.
As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in local language, "endless plains". The park has a 6,900sq miles (18,000sq km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances.
It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous River Crossings having been filmed in this park.

Dinner and overnight at the Acacia Central Camp
On this day, we suggest a very early wake-up call in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. It's really one of the most beautiful experiences to have.
After the game drive, we will return to the camp for a rewarding brunch. Then we'll proceed to the airstrip for your flight back to Arusha, or whatever your next amazing destination might be (i.e. Zanzibar).
