Some attractions of the day are:
Elephant herds: Tarangire has the greatest population of elephants found in Tanzania. You will probably find families sitting around the banks of rivers.

When you pass the entrance of the Serengeti National Park the great savannahs open endlessly in front of you. Here is Africa in its most archetypal form: the acacia-tree-studded plains, with their rocky kopjes.
Your afternoon game drive in the central Seronera Valley presents you with:
Lion prides resting on kopjes.
Cheetahs inspect the plains.
Leopards were fond of taking their time in acacia trees.
Wildebeest and Zebra herds are provided there is a great migration around the time you visit.

Accommodation: Intimate Camp
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 4: Serengeti National Park
Rise in the morning and spend the whole day in the Serengeti. The morning is the best time to see the predators at work because the lions and cheetahs use this opportunity to hunt in the cool morning.
Your guide will customise the day according to your interests. You might:
Follow a pride of lions on its way through the grasslands.
See elephants fill an opening in water.
Look through the tree tops at leopards.
Watch wildlife like secretary birds, ostriches, and vultures.
Picnic lunch will be taken in the bush to help you spend as much time as possible in the wild. Go back to camp in the evening, and have a campfire and a fine supper.
Accommodation: Intimate Camp
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 5: Serengeti National Park
Take another day to see more of the Serengeti. As time goes on, you will be able to move out of more crowded areas to enjoy more secluded wildlife experiences.
You can also have an optional morning safari with hot air balloon. One of the most memorable safari experiences is the floating experience at the time of sunrise. The flight is completed with a champagne breakfast in the bush.
The rest of the day is spent investigating the various ecosystems of the park, including open plains and valleys along the rivers. Every time the song plays might be something phenomenal: a cheetah running after gazelles, a pack of hyenas eating, or the thousands of wildebeest in motion.
Camp overnight again in the Serengeti at Intimate Camp.
Accommodation: Intimate Camp
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater
In the morning, you can have a safari game drive in the Serengeti after breakfast, and then you can go back to Ngorongoro. On arrival, one goes down 600 meters to the base of the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest continuous volcanic caldera in the world.
A unique ecosystem and a high wildlife concentration make the crater popularly referred to as the eighth wonder of the world. You will likely see:
Every one of the Big Five: lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, and leopards.
Tremendous numbers of wildebeest and zebras are grazing on the crater floor.
Hippos playing in the pools and flamingos in Lake Magadi.
