DAY 3: GAME DRIVE TO TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK.
Today we drive to Tarangire National Park, for excellent game viewing. Tarangire is a small park that offers some excellent sights. Generally, in the dry seasons, Tarangire comes alive as the wildlife and birdlife congregate on the Tarangire River, which is a permanent source of water.

DAY 5: GAME DRIVE TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK.
Head towards the Serengeti National Park. En route, there is an opportunity to visit Olduvai Gorge.

Here is a small museum, we are able to see evidence of our ancestors that have been dated back 2.5 million years.

DAY 6: ANOTHER FULL DAY GAME DRIVE TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK.
We have another full day in this wonderful park, rising early to make the most of our time. Our guides will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year; we can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration.
Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Acacia Tented Camp: Full board.
DAY 7: GAME DRIVE TO NGORONGORO CRATER.
We start the day with an early morning game drive before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro is a special place in that it is a Conservation Area, not a National Park; this means that the whole area is managed for both the animals and the local Masai people who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife.
Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge: Full board.
DAY 8: NGORONGORO TO ARUSHA.
Free morning to relax after your great northern safari or explore the town, especially the Maasai market. The return transfer to (JRO) after your safari is part of this package.
