NOTE: You can replace this park with Tarangire NP or add an extra day and visit both.

Day 2 Serengeti National park
After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous National park in the World, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in local language, "endless plains". It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras and all kinds of antelopes. As for Big Cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings having been filmed in this park.

Day 5 Ngorongoro Crater
We will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on Earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful hippo Lake. We expect to be back in Arusha around 5pm although we are flexible in case there is a flight to catch or another situation.
