DAY 7 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK (B/L/D)

• Serengeti National Park - Full day game viewing drive on the vast Serengeti plains. In the early morning and evenlight light, the Serengeti landscape is stunningly beautiful. The Rolling plains and grasslands, stretching far into the horizons as far as the eye can see is home to the black manned lion, the savannah elephant, the Cape buffalo, wildebeests, the elusive leopard, cheetah, the spotted and stripped hyena, the rhino, topi, burchelle’s zebra, the Masai giraffe among many others.

Enjoy an onsite talk on the interpretation of the gorge by the resident guide. • Ngorongoro Conservation Area - This afternoon, relax and from your lodge enjoy the breath-taking spectacular views of the crater below. Ngorongoro Crater has the largest unbroken caldera in the world. It has been described as one of the great natural wonders of the world. 8,000,000 years ago, the Ngoron-goro Crater was an active volcano but its cone collapsed, forming the crater that is 610m deep, 20km in diameter and covers an area of 311sqkm. Spectacular as it is, the crater accounts for just a tenth of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The crater is home to many species of wild game and birds. With the exception of impala and topi (due to fierce competition with the wildebeest) and the giraffe (because there is not much to eat at tree level), almost every species of African plains mammal lives in the crater, including the endangered black rhino, and the densest population of predators in Africa. The birdlife, which includes the flamingo, is mainly seasonal and is also affected by the ratio of soda to fresh water in Lake Magadi on the crater floor. Note : Warm jacket / cardigan is highly recommended.Accommodation: 3* Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge or similar

DAY 9 NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA (B/L/D)

• Ngorongoro Conservation Area - Descend some 610m into the crater, which is home to an abundance of wildlife and a photogenic paradise, for a full day game viewing drive with picnic lunch. Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact caldera in the world teams with an abundance of wildlife permanently resident of the crater floor. Prides of lions, herds of Cape buffalo, impala, Thompson gazelles, rhino, giraffes, golden and black backed jackals, zebra, cheetah, leopard and the spotted hyena freely roam on the crater floor plains. Unmatched for its natural variety and breathtaking beauty, there are few places on earth where such a tremendous diversity of landscapes exist inside a region this size. Apart from its wildlife riches, the crater is also of great archaeological importance, with the remains of some of mankind’s earliest ancestors discovered in the area, also a home to hundreds of bird species, refreshing in the small lakes in the crater floor. Accommodation: 3* Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge or similar

DAY 10 NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA – TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK (B/L/D)• Tarangire National Park - Set off for an exciting game viewing drive in this area dotted with majestic baobab trees, stately eland antelopes among other game.

It’s the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem - a smorgasbord for predators - and the one place in Tanzania where dry country antelope such as the stately fringe eared Oryx and peculiar long necked gerenuk are regularly observed.Accommodation: 4* Tarangire Sopa Lodge or similar
