The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is an extensive highland area along the eastern arm of the Rift Valley, with the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point.

DAY 04: NGORONGORO TO CENTRAL SERENGETI (SERONERA)

After an early breakfast drive to Serengeti National Park, leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. Then to the central park area, known as the 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. Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park

Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: Serena serengeti Lodge (Luxury)

Day 05: CENTRAL SERENGETI (SERONERA)

After breakfast, we will have a full-day game drive in Central Serengeti. Apart from the large mammals, Serengeti is also home to gaudy agama lizards; Rock hyraxes scuffle around the surfaces of the park’s isolated granite koppies. Wide varieties of dung beetle were found, and around 500 bird species have been recorded ranging from the outsized ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of the open grassland to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above the Lobo Hills.

Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: Serena Serengeti Lodge (Luxury)

DAY 06: CENTAL SERENGETI SERENGETI (SERONERA)

This is another full-day game drive at Serengeti National Park, known for its healthy population of resident wildlife, particularly the "big five", named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters:

Lion: the Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem.

African Leopard: these reclusive predators are commonly seen in the Seronera region but are present throughout the national park with a population of around 1,000.

African Elephant: the herds are recovering from population lows in the 1980s caused by poaching and are largely located in the northern regions of the park.

African Buffalo: considered by many to be the most dangerous of the big five, reportedly causing the most hunter deaths, with wounded animals reported to ambush and attack pursuers.

Rhinoceros: this may refer to either black or white rhinoceros. Among Big Five game hunters, the black rhinoceros is preferred, although it is now critically endangered.

Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: Serena Serengeti Lodge (Luxury)

DAY 07 CENTARAL SERENGETI TO SERENGETI NORTH (KOGATENDE)

After breakfast, drive toward Serengeti north, for a game drive in Northern Mara. Serengeti, among other incredible wildlife and stunning views, is famed for the annual migration of over 1.5 million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras, a frenzied bout of territorial conquests and mating happening from July to October. Witness an actual survival of the fittest as these animals plunge through crocodile-infested waters. The wildebeest produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins again.

Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: MaraMara Tented Lodge (Luxury)

DAY 08 . SERENGETI NORTH (KOGATENDE)

Another full day in Serengeti North for a game drive viewing the great migration. River crossings at Kogatende start in August as the mega herd settles into the area. Between August- October, game viewing is at its best with river crossings pretty much guaranteed every day. There is no distinct movement as the herds tend to cross back and forth over the river, following the rains and subsequent fresh grasses.

Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: MaraMara Tented Lodge (Luxury)

Optional tour HOT AIR BALLOON PER PERSON COST $599 (prices are separate from the total price above)

DAY 09: SERENGETI NORTH (KOGATENDE)

After early breakfast, we will proceed to the northern part of Serengeti for a game drive viewing the great migration in the Mara area. Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in the Wagakuria area. The key feature is the Mara River and there is a great chance to see the herds cross the Mara River to the north on one day and back south a few days later. Please note that it can be very difficult to witness crossing and is sometimes a matter of luck. A herd can be seen next to the river and only decides to cross a couple of days later. This area is a stunning region with kopjes, woodland, riverine vegetation and open plains, similar to Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve.

Meals: B,L,D
Accommodation: MaraMara Tented Lodge (luxury)

DAY 10: SERENGETI NORTH FLYING BACK TO ARUSHA

You will have an early morning game drive and then fly from Kogatende to Arusha (10:00 am-12:15 pm). We can arrange a hotel in Arusha or a transfer to the Kilimanjaro Airport for departure
