3. Day 3: Lake Manyara to Serengeti National Park

   • Go for a long drive through arguably the best game park in the world.
   • Head to the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and then descend into the endless plains of Serengeti. The Serengeti National Park is Tanzania's oldest and most popular national park. From here, massive concentrations of wildebeest, zebras, and other animals commence the annual Great Migration in search of new pastures, providing one of the greatest natural spectacles to be found anywhere in the world. 
   • Watch golden-maned lions stalking the migrating herds, spot leopards at rest in trees at dusk and take a hot-air balloon tour at dawn as the sun's golden rays illuminate the land. Meander your way through this famous park with fantastic game viewing as you head towards the tented camp in central Serengeti. 
   • Enjoy lunch under the acacia trees.

   Overnight stay in the Ndutu area. The meal included here will be Breakfast.

4. Day 4: Full Day in Ndutu

   • Enjoy a full day game drive in the Ndutu area. 
   • Explore the range of different habitats, including swamps, woodland, soda lakes, and the world-famous Serengeti short grass plains. 
   • See great herds of wildebeests and zebras. During a short time frame around February, normally lasting for about 3 weeks, you can spot most of the wildebeest calves. The sea of grass provides little cover, and the young are easy pickings for various predators. Wildebeest calves can run minutes after they are born, and within 3 days, they are normally strong enough to keep up with the herd. 

   Lunch, Dinner and overnight as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested.
