DAY 3     TARANGIRE-NGORONGORO
An optional early morning walk starts our adventure today.  Tarangire is home to an array of wildlife and this unique opportunity to view animal behaviours and natural habitats is exclusive to Oliver’s Camp.  We return for a hearty breakfast before heading off to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.  Entering the Crater for an afternoon Game Drive is a spectacular way to end of day.

We depart after breakfast to the endless plains of the Serengeti, passing through some Maasai bomas where you will be able to meet the Maasai and exchange greetings and cultures.  Upon entering the Serengeti, we are able to game drive all the way to our exclusive camp that is situated in the prime game areas of Ndutu and Moru. We enjoy an excellent lunch followed by an afternoon game drive.
OLAKIRA CAMP (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

DAY 5     SERENGETI
We exchange camps today for the spectacular North Serengeti.  It is an unspoilt area offering perfect viewing of the Wildebeest Migration along the Tanzanian side of the Mara River.  Our camp is the only permanent tented camp in the area and so habitats are natural and off road game driving is possible around the camp.  There are resident cats and herd animals for us to observe.
SAYARI CAMP (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

DAY 6     SERENGETI
We return to the central and south of the Serengeti today to explore these game-filled areas.  It is also a perfect location to partake in the breath-taking Serengeti Balloon Safari (optional).

DAY 7     SERENGETI-LAKE MANYARA
After an early morning Game Drive, we are able to transfer to Lake Manyara for our afternoon Game Drive.  We stop en-route for a classic safari picnic and enjoy our last glimpse of the great wilds of the Serengeti.  Lake Manyara offers an insight into the Great Rift Valley system and the adaptation of many herd animals and magnificent birdlife.

DAY 8      LAKE MANYARA-ARUSHA-BEYOND
We partake in a casual breakfast before continuing on to Arusha, via Maasai Craft Markets to view wares of exceptional quality and skill.  You are then transferred to your departure point or lodge (Breakfast, Lunch)
