   • Early in the morning, after your breakfast, you will drive to Tarangire National Park by land cruiser, crossing the Maasai Steppe on your way to Tarangire National Park, Tanzania's fourth-largest and one of its most diverse. Wait at the picturesque park gate for the driver to fill up the park's registration book. Soon, the impressive Great Rift Valley Escarpment will come into view – a 2,000-foot high wall that rises, improbably steep and incredibly tall, out of the flat plains. Elephants, buffaloes, and pythons are seen easily and regularly cross your path, unbothered by your benign presence and going about their daily routines. You'll meander along bush tracks, explore the Tarangire River's twists and turns, and find elephants drinking and playing in the refreshing waters.
   • Late this afternoon, you'll arrive at Tarangire Simba Lodge, where you can settle in and relax before dinner and your overnight.

   • In the morning, after you are done with breakfast, you will make your way to Lake Manyara Park for full-day game drives. It is among Tanzania’s smallest parks. Drive through the lush garden is a gentle reminder that you are now in Africa, where exotic birdcalls fill the air. Enjoy a picnic lunch, and afterwards, you’ll continue with game viewing of animals in the park, including zebra, wildebeest, bushbuck, dik-dik, and guinea fowl, regularly cross your path, unbothered by your benign presence and going about their daily routines. You’ll meander along bush tracks and explore the Lake, home to thousands of flamingos and the river’s twists and turns, finding elephants drinking and playing in the refreshing waters. 
   • Overnight stay at the farm of Dream Lodge.

4. Day 4: Lake Manyara To Serengeti National Park

   • Have an early breakfast before you go to the Serengeti's endless plains for the afternoon to sunset game drive. You will make your way around the southern edge of the crater rim, spotting the occasional hyena, elephant, or African buffalo along the way. 
   • By late morning, you will arrive at the famed Serengeti National Park. The plains seem endless from this vantage point. Stop to enjoy your picnic lunch at Naabi Hill before meandering through the wildlife-rich central Serengeti. 
   • Later in the evening at your camp, you can settle into your accommodation before joining other travellers in the dining area for some palate teasers in anticipation of a delicious evening meal.

7. Day 7: Ngorongoro Crater Rim To Arusha

   • Rise early for breakfast before you spend a half-day exploring the crater floor. The area is world-renowned in its reputation and very small in its scale so you will see other safari-goers. Don’t let that distract you from the beauty of the place or the fact that this remains one of the only places on earth where you may see all of the Big Five at once: lion, leopard, bull elephant, African buffalo, and black rhino. To maximize your time on the crater floor, you will enjoy a special boxed lunch at a scenic picnic spot. Your journey will take you through this tremendous landscape, constantly changing as animals move to and fro, searching for pasture, water, or east prey.
