Stay in a basic camp to get the real safari experience or choose a bit more comfort in one of the luxury tented camps or lodges.

Day 3 & 4 - Serengeti
Spend two full days in the Serengeti with game-drives. This will gives a good chance to cover a large area and see a lot of wildlife.

With more than 2 million wildebeest and a large number of Thomson gazelle and zebra , it has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. The area is so vast even at the height of the wildebeest migration, when over one million animals are moving, the Serengeti never seems crowded. The park lies between the shores of Lake Victoria to the west, Lake Eyasi in the South and the Great Rift Valley to the East. Return to the camp for a hot lunch or spend the day on game-drive with a packed lunch in the park . Dinner & Overnight Serengeti

Brief visit to the museum and the visitors centre before proceeding towards the Ngorongoro Crater rim. Dinner & Overnight at the Ngorongoro Crater Rim. The lodge is built high on the crater rim with amazing views over and into the crate- a truly breath taking natural wonder!
