1. Day 01

   Arusha → Serengeti National Park

   The Serengeti opens out in front of you: short-grass plains, granite kopjes and horizon in every direction. We spend the day tracking predators and plains game with your guide, pausing for a picnic lunch in the shade before the light softens into a golden afternoon drive.

2. Day 02

   Full Day with the Migration Herds

   We position ourselves with the herds. Depending on the month this may mean the calving grounds of the southern plains or the river lines of the north, where wildebeest and zebra gather in their thousands with predators close behind.

3. Day 03

   Migration Tracking & Predator Viewing

   We position ourselves with the herds. Depending on the month this may mean the calving grounds of the southern plains or the river lines of the north, where wildebeest and zebra gather in their thousands with predators close behind.

4. Day 04

   Serengeti → Ngorongoro Highlands

   The Serengeti opens out in front of you: short-grass plains, granite kopjes and horizon in every direction. We spend the day tracking predators and plains game with your guide, pausing for a picnic lunch in the shade before the light softens into a golden afternoon drive.

5. Day 05

   Ngorongoro Crater → Arusha

   We descend more than 600 metres onto the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, a contained world of grassland, forest and soda lake. The density of wildlife here is extraordinary — lion, elephant, buffalo, hippo and flamingo, with a genuine chance of black rhino.
