- Day 1 - Arusha to Tarangire National ParkFollowing a morning safari briefing, your adventure will commence as you travel to Tarangire National Park. This natural sanctuary features majestic baobab trees, bush savannahs, and seasonal marshes that add to its allure. It is renowned as an exceptional destination for up-close elephant encounters. In addition to elephants, the park is inhabited by buffalos, zebras, and wildebeest, often shadowed by a variety of predators, including lions. Although leopard sightings are occasional, cheetahs are a rare sight. During the journey, you will appreciate the landscape and observe wildlife from the open roof of the safari Jeep. As the day progresses into the late afternoon, you will leave the park and proceed to the lodge, where you can look forward to a comfortable and relaxing overnight stay.

- Day 2 - Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti National ParkAfter enjoying your breakfast, you will set off on a journey towards Serengeti National Park. This route will lead you through the charming highland farmlands of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As you bid farewell to the highlands, you will venture deeper into the heart of untamed Africa. The drive will guide you to the Seronera area, situated in the central part of the park and celebrated as one of Serengeti's most abundant wildlife habitats. The Seronera River crisscrosses this region, a crucial water source that draws diverse wildlife representing most of the Serengeti's species. Arriving in due time, you will enjoy a picnic lunch and engage in an afternoon game drive within Serengeti National Park.

- Day 3 - Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro AreaAfter breakfast, you will commence a game-viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, a trail that meanders through the plains south of the Seronera River. This route offers opportunities for spotting lions, Thomson's gazelles, topis, ostriches and cheetahs. Once your morning exploration concludes, make sure not to miss the Visitor Centre, conveniently situated near Serengeti Seronera Lodge. In the afternoon, you will follow the Kopjes circuit, which leads you around the Maasai Kopjes in a counterclockwise direction. These kopjes, weathered granite outcrops, are scattered across the plains and function as self-contained ecosystems, providing shade and water pools after rainfall. They prove especially beneficial for observing wildlife during the dry season, as lions frequently await prey at the watering holes. Remarkably large cobras also inhabit these kopjes.

The game drive on the crater floor will show you a lot of animal action. Keeping the camera ready is definitely recommended. The African elephant, buffalo, Black rhino, Hippos, Hyenas, Cheetahs, and Lions are found in plenty. Post the picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo pool, you will begin a steep ascend to the top exit of the crater.
