Every day is flexible — we tune the pace, lodges and game drives to you.
Masai Mara National Reserve
You'll have an early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras and attendant predators. You'll arrive in time for lunch followed by an afternoon game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the campsite or lodge.
Where you stay

Meals
Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included); Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Masai Mara National Reserve (Days 2–3)
After breakfast, we will have a full day game drive with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lion as well as abundant resident wildlife. It is one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning's game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame that they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

From Masai Mara National Reserve to Serengeti National Park
You'll have a morning game drive in Masai Mara. We will initiate the day with an early morning game drive in Masai Mara while driving out of the national reserve. After border formalities, drive to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. On the way, you have an option to stop at the famous Olduvai Gorge, where Dr Louis and Mary Leakey made their discovery of the first man that walked the earth. After attending a short lecture describing the archaeological digs and geology of the gorge, you’ll have time to visit the small museum. It will be a long day of driving but the game drives in and out of the parks can be surprisingly incredible.

Serengeti National Park (Days 5–6)
You'll have two full days in the Serengeti with a flexible schedule and unlimited mileage. As you crest the hillside spread out before you, as far as the eyes can see, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means "endless plains" in Kiswahili. This 6,900sq mile (18,000sq km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyraxes, bat-eared foxes, mongoose, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons and African hares also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds. In the afternoon, have a game drive en-route to the campsite. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at a public campsite or private tented camp/lodge.
Where you stay
Enkirari Wilderness Camp (Luxury tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP)
Meals
All meals included
Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor) On this day we suggest a very early wake up 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. After the game drive, we will return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder 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 in 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. You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner. There is a possibility to upgrade your accommodation level.
Where you stay
Pakulala Safari Camp (Mid-range tented camp located on the crater rim of Ngorongoro Highlands)
Meals
All meals included
Ngorongoro Crater
All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor) We will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful hippo lake. After lunch, we will have time for a short game drive and then ascend the crater and exit Ngorongoro Conservation Area towards Arusha. We expect to be back in Arusha around 5:00 pm although we are flexible in case there is a flight to catch or another situation.
