Day Itinerary
Your safari adventure begins today!
This is a far less visited national park on the circuit so you can enjoy some spectacular wildlife sightings in this vast wilderness with lower visitor densities. As you enter the park and game drive through it, you’ll pass huge herds of elephants surrounded by open woodlands and acacia trees. You will spend the rest of the day exploring the ravines and swamps which are teeming with wildlife. Passing the Tarangire River, watch in astonishment as you witness an enormous herd of elephants, ambling along the riverbank. It is common to see herds of up to 300 elephants in the dry season here, so you will really get a sense of the magnitude of these giants.

Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater — Ndutu Area.
Day Itinerary
After breakfast at the lodge, we depart to Ngorongoro Crater. Upon arrival, we will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife for a half day safari tour. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park 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 national Park, is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive Leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here.
After lunch we head towards the Ndutu area leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. Catching the Great Migration in the Ndutu area is a spectacular sight, and if you time your safari right, you might witness millions of wildebeest hustling together as the intensity of the migration grows.

The Park is well known for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the “big five”, named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters: Lions are believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species.
