Day 1
Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Drive through the "land of giants", Tarangire National Park. Drive across the endless golden savannah that grazes along the Tarangire River. This national park is known for its elephants and sprawling baobab trees. Enjoy a picnic lunch at the picnic site and take in the remarkable view of the Tarangire River. Keep a close eye on your lunch, as the monkeys won’t hesitate to get away with a tasteful treat if given the chance.
The action-packed game drive will end late in the evening. You will now head towards your choice of accommodation, where a freshly prepared dinner awaits. Ensure you get some good rest and recharge yourself for another eventful day.

Day 2
Mto wa mbu to Serengeti National Park
We depart early after breakfast, head across the Great Rift Valley floor, up the escarpment, and traverse the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Enjoy the pleasant and scenic drive as you experience the beautiful scenery and breathtaking vistas on your way to the Serengeti.
Arrive in the Serengeti for an afternoon game drive until late. Lunch is taken at one of the picnic sites, most likely at the Naabi Hill Gate, where you can stretch your legs.
Visit the famous Maasai bomas to get close to the Maasai community. Participate in traditional Maasai dance and walk in the Maasai village. Their culture is well known for hunting lions, and to be considered a warrior, they drink raw cow blood (though these traditions are things of the past, except for drinking blood). You can also do some souvenir shopping at the local Maasai market.

This is the prime time to witness lions, leopards, and other predators in action. The Serengeti sunrise is truly awe-inspiring, as the rising sun casts a golden glow over the plains.

Day 4
Ngorongoro Crater
Prepare for a unique adventure as we delve into the heart of an ancient volcano teeming with diverse wildlife. After an early breakfast, we will embark on our eagerly awaited journey to Ngorongoro Crater.
Descending to the crater floor early in the morning increases your chances of spotting rare species, such as black rhinos. Spend the majority of the morning exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, which, with its towering 600- to 650-meter-high walls, resembles a natural zoo with the highest concentration of wild animals.
After enjoying a picnic lunch, likely at the designated spot beside the hippo pool, we will ascend the crater rim and exit the conservation area, concluding our remarkable day in Ngorongoro.

Since it's a birding destination, you will not only be amazed but also surprised by large flocks of flamingos and many other varieties of birds.
