Day 1: Arrival in Arusha
Arrive at Arusha's Kilimanjaro International Airport and meet your customer service representative. Transfer to Arusha town situated at the foot of Mount Meru. Check in at your hotel - Kibo Palace Hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
Day 2: To Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, drive to the Tarangire and arrive at the Maramboi Tented Camp which is situated on a 25,000 hectare Maasai communal ranch. During the wet season the ‘pans' (shallow depressions) of this area fill with water, which attracts huge flocks of flamingoes and other water birds. The camp is also ideally placed for watching the migration of the wildebeest, which on the tree-less plains can be more easily and more graphically observed than elsewhere. The camp offers 20 spacious tents, all surrounded by timber decks. Activities possible at an extra cost while at the camp include guided walks, ornithology and cultural interaction with the Datoga and Maasai people, whose communities live adjacent to the camp. The camp also has its own swimming pool.
Early lunch and in the afternoon take a game-drive through the Tarangire National park, which is second only to the Ngorongoro Crater as a dry-season sanctuary for vast herds of migratory creatures. Dinner at the camp.

After breakfast, drive to Olduvai Gorge, one of the World's most important Paleolithic sites, where you will enjoy a picnic lunch. Arrive in the Serengeti National Park and check in to the Serengeti Serena Lodge in time for an afternoon game drive in the park.
Covering 14,763 sq km of endlessly rolling savannah plains, the Serengeti is Tanzania's first-established, largest and most famous park wherein tens of thousands of hoofed animals roam in a constant and unremitting search for the fresh grasslands upon which their survival depends. The million-plus wildebeest are the predominant herbivore and also the main prey of a huge cast of large carnivores, principally lion and hyena. Whilst the annual migration is the Serengeti's most famous attraction, the Park is also renowned for its lion, many of which have been fitted with radio-transmitter collars so that their movements may be tracked, and additionally for its wealth of cheetah, zebra, giraffe, Thomson's and Grant's gazelle, eland, impala, klipspringer, hippo and warthog. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.
Distance/drive time: 310km / 5 ½ hours

All meals and overnight at the lodge.
Day 7: To the Ngorongoro Crater
Leave the Serengeti and drive to the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area often referred to as ‘the eighth wonder of the world' the Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa's best-known wildlife arenas.
A World Heritage Site, it is also one of the largest volcanic craters in the world (almost 20 kilometres wide, 610-760 metres deep and covering a total area of 264 square kilometres).
