Day 6 — Ngorongoro Crater—In the morning enjoy an early breakfast and be one of the first vehicles descending the six hundred meters (2,000ft) into Ngorongoro Crater for superb game viewing. A UNESCO World Heritage Site (and with very good reason), the cavernous bowl-shaped crater is in fact a caldera, formed two to three million years ago when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself. Today, the flat floor is covered in nutritious grasses and home to an unprecedented number of black rhino as well as black-maned lion, magnificent tuskers and smaller plains game. In the afternoon make your way to Southern Serengeti/Ndutu where you will stay for three (3) nights. (Breakfast, lunch, dinner onboard)
Day 7 —8 — Southern Serengeti/Ndutu — Spend two full days in the Ndutu Plains to witness the Great Migration. Being in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) you will be able to drive off road - a great advantage for getting up close and personal with Africa's large mammals! The Southern Serengeti is characterized by short grass plains stretching endlessly to the horizon. Here and there, rock kopjes break above the horizon to provide refuge to lion, leopard and cheetah, who take advantage of the high ground to get a good view of potential prey or to catch the breeze. In the far South, the Ndutu area is an area of acacia woodland and lakes, in clear contrast to the open plains. The Southern Serengeti is home to the wildebeest migration from December to April, when over two million wildebeest arrive to calve in the open. (Breakfast, lunch, dinner)

Scuba diving, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, kayaking, windsurfing, waterskiing and sailing on traditional local dhows (small local sailing craft) are part of the multitude of activities to entertain you, but don’t forget just relaxing on a tropical beach. And if you are looking to do a little exploring the enchanting winding streets and high townhouses of old Stone Town, with their giant, ornate doors, remain unchanged and there are spice tours to working plantations rich with strong aromas of cloves, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon.
