DAY 1: TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

2 Hours drive from Arusha town to Tarangire park

Meet your knowledgeable safari guide in the hotel lounge at 7:30 am to get ready for the safari. After packing all of your safari gear into the safari car, head out for a two-hour drive to Tarangire Park, which entails a circuitous route around Arusha town. Along the way, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of Tanzania's varied wildlife, agricultural, and livestock rearing landscapes. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of herdsmen leading herds of large cattle to fresh pastures or the cattle market in the early morning hours.

Your driver-guide, who is well-versed in the country, will provide you with general information during the two-hour drive. Before you know it, the guide will be at the Tarangire Park gate parking lot. Following standard registration procedures, set out on a game drive through an abundant panorama of boundless golden savannah forests that envelop the region and extend towards the Tarangire River. The river itself is year-round and provides the region's animals with an essential supply of water for the duration of the season. The river, which is bordered by Baobab and acacia trees, is frequently frequented by large herds of elephants as well as other herbivores like zebras and antelopes. Additionally, it is the most effective predation sport for predators to easily make the kill.

DAY 2: NGORONGORO CRATER

1hrs drive to Ngorongoro Crater and 6-8hrs game drive in the Crater

Get into your safari jeep at six in the morning and head towards the Ngorongoro Crater. The trip passes over the Great Rif Valley Escarpment, which provides a broad view of Lake Manyara Park at sunrise. The park is surrounded by verdant forests, and pink flamingos can be seen soaring through the sky. Your guide offers to have you pause at the crater observation point so you can use your binoculars to take in everything you can see before you descend the crater floor. Then descend 610 metres to the Ngorongoro Crater's Caldera bottom, which is regarded by some as the world's eighth wonder. When you first see this enormous, lush caldera from the panoramic perspective, you'll quickly realise why it has garnered such a high reputation in the world. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most sought-after safari locations worldwide, with over 120 species of mammals, including the renowned Big Five, calling it home. Nobody is willing to miss it. It's a particularly ideal site to witness the pride of lions and vast numbers of hippopotamus enjoying the cool water, as well as the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a solitary lunch out on the grass plains.

Some of the most famous faces in Africa may be seen and photographed from the comfort of your open-roof top safari vehicle. In addition to a sizable population of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, cape buffalo, and other animals, the crater is home to numerous predators including as lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas. It is undoubtedly among the best places in Africa to go on safari. Following the day's adventures, drive to the highlands and scale the crater wall with your ranger or a Maasai guide. From there, stroll around the rim of the Olmoti crater, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Munge waterfalls and the floor of the crater. Eland, buffalo, and reedbuck can occasionally be seen in addition to the Maasai people and their animals. Your campground is located within a Maasai bomas.

DAY 3: DRIVE TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Along the trip, you may catch a glimpse of cape buffalo, herds of baboons, or perhaps elephants and leopards in the dense forest beneath the mist-covered rain forests of the reserve. You also can't miss the opportunity to view the crater from the rim by stopping at the crater view point with your binoculars.

Numerous optional activities that need additional costs are available in the Ngorongoro area. One such activity is the Olduvai Gorge Museum, also referred to as the Cradle of Humankind because it has some of the oldest fossils ever discovered that show signs of human settlement.

Dinner and a night at a campsite or lodge right in the middle of the Serengeti National Park.

DAY 4: FULL DAY EXPLORE SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK.

We begin the day with a breathtaking dawn game drive over these stunning Serengeti plains, where we watch as the sun sets on the savannah grassland and predators, including lions and leopards, search for their morning prey. Alternatively, for an additional $650 per person, you might choose to witness this morning's dawn in the skies while on a historic HOT AIR BALLOON safari, landing in champagne and cheering while waiting for a well-prepared hot bush breakfast. It's a possibility, so ask your guide how you might incorporate this amazing experience into your safari. OR you can go on a morning game drive, return to your lodge for breakfast, and then leave with a packed lunch to spend the entire day exploring the park.

Drive back after dusk to have dinner and spend the night at a camp or resort.

DAY 5: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK –MASAI MARA KENYA

On this final day in the stunning Serengeti National Park, your guide will be prepared for an early morning game drive before breakfast (a hot air balloon ride over the park's plains can be booked at an additional cost). When the first rays of sunlight reach the woods, you can observe cats preying, vultures soaring across the sky, and other predators and grazers congregating for the morning's verdant greenery.

Depending on the season, the incredible wildebeest migration is a remarkable sight. The game drive ends at around 10 a.m. to fully enjoy this magnificent dawn spectacle. Once you return to the lodge or camp for a late breakfast, you will load your bags into the safari jeep and head out again for another EN-ROUTE game drive through the Serengeti via a different route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

(Game drive in Ngorongoro Crater 5-6hrs and 3 hrs drive back to Arusha)

Today's entire day will be recompensed for a lengthy game drive spent touring the park, in the pursuit of the BIG FIVE and the migrations of wildebeest. It is almost unbelievable how much diversity and quantity of wildlife Masai Mara has to offer. Seated comfortably in our 4x4 safari car, we will go on long game drives to discover the northwest region of the Masai Mara Triangle. Amazing wildlife experiences are something you should definitely look forward to, especially during the Great Migration! You are going to travel to the Mara River, which is located in Kenya and offers views of Tanzania.

The biggest obstacle in the way of the zebra and wildebeest migrations each year. A breathtaking scene is created at the end of October and the beginning of November when the river swells to nearly breaking point and enormous crocodiles are ready to feast on the AMUST cross of tens of thousands of animals, even though they are aware that they could die because crocodiles occasionally hide just below the surface to speed up the cross. It's sometimes a graphic scene. Hippos, crocodiles, and other creatures can also be observed by the riverbanks at other seasons of the year, full with food and sluggish to move. You head back to your camp or lodge for dinner and an overnight stay as the sun sets.

DAY 7: MASAI MARA GAME RESERVE – AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK

The ideal plan is to rise very early, have a hearty breakfast and check out of the lodge or camp in preparation for the last game drive in Masai Mara. Given the length of the afternoon journey to Nairobi and the heavy traffic, it would be better if we remembered to pack a lunch. After leaving the Masai Mara entrance, we go by the upland country markets and arrive to the Great Rift Valley Escarpment. The locals are known for their excellent beef barbecue, which is served at the escarpment's viewpoint.

Take the congested roadway that leads to Amboseli National Park through Nairobi city. After arriving in Amboseli Park, take a twilight game drive through the vast plains where enormous herds of elephants reside, grazing on the large acacia trees. If the weather permits, enjoy dinner beneath a canopy of trees on the banks of the Enkong Narok wetland, offering a breathtaking view of Mount Kilimanjaro. Spend the night in the camp or lodge.

DAY 8: AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK – BACK TO NAIROBI END 0F TRIP

Today is our last and final day of the combined Tanzania and Kenya safari
