A visit is made en route to the renowned Olduvai Gorge where the Leakey family uncovered the fossil Homo habilis (the handy man), the first tool user, who lived over 1.75 million years ago. Then we reach the Serengeti, heart of the most diverse migration corridor in the world. Creatures of every size and description, flood the savannah …herds of mammoth elephant, the stately giraffe and the lumbering rhino alongside the more diminutive inhabitants…the delicate antelope, bulky wildebeest and the comical warthog. Early morning and late afternoon game drives are made daily. We arrive at our tented camp in time for lunch. Proceed on an evening game viewing drive before returning for dinner and overnight at your tented camp. Early morning and evening game drives are made daily.

Known as ‘the eighth wonder of the world' the Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa's best-known wildlife arenas. A World Heritage Site, it boasts one of the largest volcanic craters in the world (almost 20 kilometres wide, 610-760 metres deep and covering a total area of 264 square kilometres).

Afterwards we continue to Tarangire National Park with a game drive en route to your lodge deep in the park. Accommodation: Maramboi Tented Camp Day 9: Tarangire National Park You have the day to explore the majestic Tarangire National Park which is less crowded and more off-the-beaten-track than Ngorongoro or the Serengeti.
