FLAMINGOS ON THE RIFT VALLEY
Your day will be spent traversing the many sceneries that this exquisite National Park has to offer. From tree covered canopies, to a bit of open savannah, swamps and a lake.

Day 4
The Serengeti
THE NORTHERN MARA
On arrival, you will be picked up by your expert driver-guide and head straight out for an amazing game drive of the northern Serengeti. Time permitting, you will visit one of the designated river crossings to hopefully get a glimpse of the infamous Mara River crossing.
Around mid-afternoon, you will head to your new lodge in the north.
Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater

Your lunch stop will be lakeside inside the crater, after which your game drive continues, and, towards the late afternoon, or whenever you’ve had enough, you will make your way back up the crater rim and back to your lodge.
Day 5
The Serengeti
Once done, you will head out for a game drive of the northern Serengeti where you will get a chance to see the River Crossing where thousands of Wildebeest try to cross the crocodile infested Mara River.
You will return to your camp for a hot lunch. Later, whenever you are ready, you will head back out for another game drive. You will return back to the camp whenever you are ready.

RELAXING IN THE WILD
You can choose to head out for an early morning game drive with a picnic lunch and return to the lodge for some relaxation later around lunch or you can choose to stay in through the morning and head out later for a game drive.
