Serengeti
After an early breakfast and check-out, head to Central Serengeti with our guidance. We'll assist you
through border formalities at the Isebania border before you cross by foot to meet your Tanzanian driver for
your onward transfer to the overnight camp in Serengeti National Park. Enjoy a game drive upon arrival,
followed by dinner and overnight in Central Serengeti.
Serengeti's vast plains are famous for hosting the incredible annual migration of over 1.5 million
wildebeests. Your driver guide will keep you updated on their location depending on the time of your visit.
Serengeti
Day 6 commences with a satisfying breakfast, followed by another thrilling day of game drives in Serengeti. Central Serengeti is renowned for its year-round exceptional game viewing, owing to the abundance of resident wildlife. In particular, the Seronera River Valley in Central Serengeti is a "must-see" on any safari itinerary, regardless of the month of travel. During the dry season (June - November), when water is scarce on the plains, game viewing in Central Serengeti reaches its zenith, as resident herbivores such as impala, buffalo, hippo, warthog, Topi, hartebeest, and giraffe congregate in the vicinity. Notably, resident carnivores like lions and leopards also thrive in this region.
Ngorongoro
Embark on a captivating half-day game drive within the pristine expanse of Serengeti, where the majestic
beauty of wildlife unfolds before your eyes. The morning is an ideal time for wildlife viewing, as many animals
are most active during the cooler hours. You might witness a pride of lions returning from a nocturnal hunt or
catch a glimpse of a leopard lounging on a tree branch.
After the exhilarating game drive, you'll embark on a journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The drive
itself is a scenic adventure, passing through diverse landscapes and offering opportunities to observe the
daily life in rural Tanzania.
Arriving at Ngorongoro in the afternoon, the shift in scenery is remarkable. Ngorongoro Crater, the world's
largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera, is a natural wonder. Your accommodation at the rim of
the crater provides not just a comfortable stay but also spectacular views. Enjoy dinner and retire in your
camp for overnight rest.
Ngorongoro
After enjoying breakfast with the breathtaking views from your hotel at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, you'll
begin an exhilarating full-day game drive in this unique ecosystem. As you descend the 600 meters
(approximately 2,000 feet) from the crater rim to the floor, the landscape transforms before your eyes. You
might catch sight of lions, hyenas, or even the elusive leopard. The crater floor supports a year-round water
supply and fodder, enabling it to sustain a large number of animal species, including herds of wildebeest,
zebra, buffalo, and the endangered black rhinoceros.
Bird enthusiasts will be delighted by the array of birdlife. From the flamboyant flamingos wading in the
shallow alkaline waters of the Magadi Lake to the majestic eagles soaring above, the crater is a
birdwatcher's paradise.
As the sun begins to dip towards the horizon, casting golden hues over the crater, you'll ascend back to the
rim. Returning to your hotel, you can spend the evening reminiscing about the day's adventures.
Tarangire
After a satisfying breakfast, your journey continues as you make your way to Tarangire National Park, where an incredible half day game drive awaits. Spanning nearly 3000 square kilometres, this park is renowned for its vast elephant population and iconic baobab trees. Its name is derived from the Tarangire River, meandering through its terrain. Thanks to its diverse ecosystems and the perennial waters of the Tarangire River, the park provides a sanctuary for over 2000 elephants and is a haven for bird enthusiasts with over 500 bird species.
Tarangire - Amboseli
After a hearty breakfast, kick off your day with a morning game drive in Tarangire. Later, following lunch, your journey continues as you head to Arusha and proceed to Namanga border where you cross the border back to Kenya and proceed to Amboseli national park for overnight stay.
Amboseli - Nairobi
After a hearty breakfast, embark on a thrilling half-day game drive in Amboseli National Park, where you'll come face-to-face with majestic African elephants, prowling lions, and graceful zebras, all under the towering silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro.. Later, enjoy your packed lunch, and begin your journey back to Nairobi, carrying with you the memories of the African plains. Board your flight to Delhi, set to arrive on the following morning.
