Witness the intense drama of herds crossing treacherous waterways like the Mara River, facing crocodiles and strong currents. June to August is prime time for this extraordinary spectacle, as predators like lions and cheetahs follow in pursuit

DAY 6. SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK FULL DAY.

Full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park. Spend another day in the Serengeti watching its wildlife and exploring its many landscapes.

In the vast expanse of the Serengeti, numerous kopjes dot the landscape. These rock formations, crafted over millions of years from exposed granite, gracefully protrude from the grassy plains. Today, they serve as favoured resting spots for the majestic lions. Watch as these powerful predators claim their place on the kopjes, surveying the endless savannah and providing a glimpse into the timeless beauty of this remarkable ecosystem. Join us in the present moment, where the Serengeti’s ancient kopjes continue to stand as silent witnesses to the unfolding stories of wildlife.

DAY 8. SERENGETI TO NGORONGORO

Descend to Ngorongoro for the safari down the crater floor.

Dinner and overnight at NGORONGORO MELIA.

You’ll learn why magical Ngorongoro is unlike anywhere else in Africa. Cloud forests encircle the crater rim, and the view out across the caldera of this former volcano – quite apart from the altitude – will leave you gasping for air. Your drive down a steep trail carries you onto the crater floor where a unique wildlife offering is added to the sheer beauty of the experience. You’ll share the sunken ecosystem of the crater floor with hyenas, lions, elephants, black rhinos, and hippos. An ecosystem that has formed in the crater in the millennia since the volcano wrought its terrible fury upon the land. It could just be one of your best safari days ever.

DAY 9. KARATU TO LAKE MANYARA

Depart to Lake Manyara National Park for the day game drive around the Lake’s shores. The park is famous for its elephants and tree-climbing lions, and we hope you’ll see both.

Dinner and overnight at SURICATA MANYARA BOMA (FB).

Lake Manyara National Park will allow you to tick off many unique safari highlights, including many that you won’t find elsewhere. Unlike the elephants you’ll see in other parks, Lake Manyara inhabits dense forest – there’s nothing quite like your experience of an elephant suddenly emerging from behind the nearest tree. Also, you’re just as likely to see lions here draped along a branch high in a tree as down on the ground. And baboons. Lots of baboons. The views you’ll see here, too, persist in your memory long after you’ve returned home, thanks to the combination of lake, forest, and sheer cliffs, all within just a few kilometres.

DAY 10. MANYARA TO TARANGIRE

Head to Tarangire National Park followed by a day game drive.

Dinner and overnight at MAROMBOI SUITE (FB).

Wherever you go in Tarangire National Park during your standard safari, you’ll come across the park’s famous and larger-than-life baobab trees and elephants. These are the twin elements that give this park so much personality. There is, of course, so much more. We don’t just mean the huge wildebeest populations, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras. Or the rugged landscape of rocky hills and rivers, swamps and savannah plains. You also have an excellent chance of seeing lions here – Tarangire is a real lion stronghold – and keep an eye out for leopards and cheetahs as well.
