Day 3: 12 June 2013

Overnight at Rhino Lodge.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. 2 small bottles of water (500ml) per person are also provided.
Often called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals – including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.
Day 4: 13 June 2013
After breakfast, drive for 3 hours to Serengeti National Park. On the way, stop in to a local Maasai Boma. Enjoy the afternoon game drive in the park!
Overnight at Kati Kati Tented Camp.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. 2 small bottles of water (500ml) per person are also provided.
The Serengeti National Park is the world's last great wildlife refuge as it contains an estimated three million large animals, most of which take part in a seasonal migration that is one of nature's wonders. The area covers 14,763 sq kms and the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai 'Siringet', meaning endless plains.
Day 5: 14 June 2013
After breakfast, enjoy half day game drive before leaving the park and driving to Karatu town. Enjoy game viewing on the way, as the drive will take approx 3 hours.
Overnight at Country Lodge.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. 2 small bottles of water (500ml) per person are also provided.
The endless plains of Serengeti are also the setting for the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle - the 1.5 million wildebeest endless migration in search for fresh pastures. Each year this huge herd of wildebeest (along with over 200,000 zebra and gazelle) migrate in a clockwise direction around the Serengeti, up to the Masai Mara in Kenya and then back down to the Serengeti to have their young (over 8000 wildebeest are born a day, between mid Feb and mid March). Each year they trek over 2,500km and are constantly threatened and followed by some of Africa’s greatest predators. Depending on the time of your visit, your driver guide will be able to share where the herd’s current location is.
Day 6: 15 June 2013
After an early breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park for a game drive. The drive to the park will take approximately 1 hour.
Overnight at Tarangire Safari Lodge.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. 2 small bottles of water (500ml) per person are also provided.
Tarangire National Park is almost 3000 sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June – November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti (since enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water). With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River the park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.
Day 7: 16 June 2013
After lunch, transfer to Mt Kilimanjaro airport for your international flight out.
Breakfast and lunch boxes provided. 2 small bottles of water (500ml) per person are also provided.
