Day 1
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
You'll have an early morning drive to the Masai Mara National Reserve. It is one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras and attendant predators. You'll arrive in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, we will have a full-day game drive with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lion as well as its abundant resident wildlife. It is also one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame that they seek shelter from the hot sun under a vehicle, and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.
For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded. These are 16 species of eagles, many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustards (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

From Masai Mara to Serengeti
You'll have a morning game drive in the Masai Mara. We will start the day with an early-morning game drive in the Masai Mara as we exit the national reserve. After border formalities, drive to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. On the way, there's an option to stop at the famous Olduvai Gorge, where Drs Louis and Mary Leakey made their discovery of the first man who walked the earth. After attending a short lecture describing the archaeological digs and geology of the gorge, you’ll have time to visit the small museum.
It will be a long day of driving, but the game drives in and out of the parks can be surprisingly incredible.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
You'll have 2 full days in the Serengeti with a flexible schedule and unlimited mileage. As you crest the hillside, spread out before you, as far as the eye can see, is the vast Serengeti.
Serengeti means "endless plains" in Kiswahili. This 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals, including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators, including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, are drawn to the area by the abundance of prey that migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared fox, mongoose, honey badger, jackal, monkey, baboon and African hare also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds. In the afternoon, you'll have a game drive en route to the campsite.

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro
Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro
On this day, we suggest you wake up very early for an early-morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. After the game drive, we'll return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World.
The crater covers 102 sq miles and has 2,000-ft-high walls, making it virtually a Noah's ark and home to almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very few places on the entire continent where you can see the black rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants, which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. The Ngorongoro Crater is truly a wonder of the natural world.
