Days 5-6 : Ngorongoro crater
Today you head to Ngorongoro Crater, truly one of the wonders of the world. Arrive at the Crater in time for an afternoon game drive. Designated as a World Heritage Site, Ngorongoro is home to a wealth of big game animals including endangered black rhinoceros. Spectacular animal life can be found throughout the year due to the permanent availability of grass and water. Local wildlife includes black maned lion, black rhino, wildebeest, zebra, elephant, hippo, jackal, and hyena. The bird life is also prolific with flocks of flamingoes on the soda lake as well as other species of water and plains birds.

Days 7-9 : SerengetI & Hot air balloon Safari
Morning drive further up the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley past Ngorongoro to the Serengeti National Park, viewing wildlife en route to your camp. The Serengeti National Park is perhaps the most impressive wildlife sanctuary in the world. These vast, seemingly unending plains, are inhabited during the migration by enormous herds of wildebeest and zebra. Large herds of wildebeest and zebra concentrate at the Ndutu and Salei plains or in the Ikoma/Grumeti region, attracting the attention of predators like lion, cheetah and hyena.
There is plentiful game viewing in the Serengeti at any time of year! Another interesting feature of the Serengeti is the massive granite kopjes, islands of rock standing in a sea of grass, which provide shelter to a great variety of plants and animals from the elusive leopard to the tiny dik dik. These days activities are left up to the guides suggestion in order to take full advantage of the movements of the wildlife. Overnight for three nights at Simiyu Camp, which moves locations throughout the year to maximize proximity to wildlife. [BLD]
Days 10-13 : Pristine Beaches At Matemwe bungalows
