Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport by afternoon, meet on arrival our ROV Local Representative and transfer to Arusha for some light picnic refreshments. Thereafter proceeds to Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA), arriving in time for dinner.

• After breakfast, game drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, and which is good for possible Lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah sightings. The Visitor Centre close to the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites is well worth a visit after the morning’s game drive. You will enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at the Centre in the shade of the giant acacia trees.
• In the afternoon, you will follow the Kopjes Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Masai Kopjes, which usually attract a number of lion and some formidably large cobras. Kopjes are weathered granite outcrops, scattered around the plains, most of which are miniature ecosystems, providing shade and drinking water in pools left in the rock after the rains. This makes the kopjes particularly good for spotting wildlife in the dry seasons – including lions, which like to lie in wait for animals coming to drink! Dinner.

• Today is your last day in the Serengeti National Park. You will once again visit some kopjes on your way out of the park and will do a morning game drive in the Simba Kopjes area. The kopjes are named after the lions, which frequently use these kopjes to just lie and bath in the sun.
• You may also see baboon, giraffe and some interesting birds in this area. From here you will be heading to Lake Ndutu, which is alkaline, like most of the other Rift lakes, however still drinkable and used by a wide array of local wildlife.
• You will do an afternoon game drive in the lake area, which offers quite a change from the vast open plains of the Serengeti. The area is usually heavily populated with elephant and birds as well as resident plains game. Dinner
