Day 00: Arrive in Arusha, Tanzania.
You will be met by our team at the airport and transported to The African Tulip Hotel for overnight. Bed, breakfast included.
Day 01: Fly Arusha – Northern Serengeti National Park
You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning and driven to Arusha airport for a morning flight to Kogatende Airstrip at Serengeti National Park. Upon arrival you will meet your driver guide and head to the camp, on the way to the camp you go on your first game drive around Serengeti. Lunch at the camp, the afternoon will be spent doing game drives in Serengeti until late afternoon. Overnight at Serengeti Mara Kati Kati tented camp. Dinner, breakfast, lunch included.
Day 02 & 03: Game view in Serengeti National Park
We can wake early for a sunrise game drive in the Serengeti at dawn if you wish. This should be discussed with your safari guide the previous night. After breakfast enjoy a full day game drive in this area. Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in this Mara River area, with prides of lion up to 30 strong, however from July to October the area turns into a wildlife paradise. The key feature is the Mara River and it is not uncommon to see the herds cross the Mara River north on one day and then back south a few days later. Please take note – actually finding a crossing is very difficult and is sometimes a matter of luck. A herd can be seen next to river and only decide to cross or not cross until a couple of days later.Overnight at Serengeti Mara Kati Kati tented camp. Dinner, breakfast, lunch included.
Day 04: Northern – Central Serengeti National park
Today you will leave after a leisurely breakfast and drive to the Central Serengeti National Park known as Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. We enjoy a game drive en-route to the camp. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park.Serengeti Kati Kati tented camp. Dinner, breakfast, lunch included.
Day 05: Central Serengeti
Full day game drives in the Serengeti, home to the greatest concentration of large mammals on earth. Non-migratory species include large prides of lions, solitary leopards, cheetah and graceful impala. The landscape is characterized by vast stretches of open plains, punctuated by kopjes, rock formations that have survived from the Pre-Cambrian period, and open woodlands.Serengeti Kati Kati tented camp.

Dinner, breakfast, lunch included.

Day 06: Central Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast drive and descend over 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque conserved area, is the dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. In the late afternoon, head back to the rim and drive to Ngorongoro Farm House.
