    Day 1: Nairobi - Arusha, Tanzania

    You depart Nairobi and drive south, crossing the border into Tanzania at Namanga and continue to Arusha. This is a pleasant town situated at the base of Mount Meru and is the starting point for your optional excursion to Ngorongoro Crater and/or Serengeti.

    You conduct these excursions in locally operated Land Rovers, which are specially adapted for safari use. Depending on which option you choose, you will be away from the Arusha campsite for either one or two nights. Lunch and Dinner included.

    Day 2: Serengeti National Park, Tanzania (Optional)

    If you take up the two-night/three day option you will depart Arusha in the morning with your vehicles and guides. The drive to the Serengeti National Park takes you through the Masai town of Mtu Wa Mbu (Mosquito River) and up into the Ngorongoro Reserve for a glimpse of the Ngorongoro Crater before descending down onto the plains of the Serengeti.

    The abundance of plains game in this area is truly astounding. The afternoon will be spent game viewing before setting up camp in the midst of the national park. With some luck we will be able to listen to the nighttime noises of the wildlife! Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included.

    Day 3: Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

    After a full morning game drive in the Serengeti your overland tour will return to pull down camp and head back towards the Ngorongoro. Here you travel up to Ngorongoro Crater's edge for your campsite for the evening.

    For those taking the one-night/two day option you will be collected from Arusha today in the afternoon and transferred to the town of Karatu for the evening. Tomorrow you will join the rest of the group for your Ngorongoro game drive. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included.
