DAY 1:
Serengeti National Park
In the morning you will fly straight from Arusha to the Serengeti
arriving in time for an afternoon game drive. Catching the great
migration in the Serengeti is a spectacular sight, and if you time
your safari right, you might witness over a million wildebeest hustling
together as the intensity of the migration grows. You will enjoy
staying at the Serengeti National Park for two days.
DAY 2:
Serengeti National Park
Full day on game viewing and you will have both morning and afternoon
game drives through the Serengeti exploring the wildlife in the
great open plains.

After enjoying your breakfast you will drive via Olduvai Gorge
to Ngorongoro Crater, with a picnic lunch en route. Discover the
archaeological history at Olduvai before driving to Ngorongoro crater.
Quite possibly the most famous of all Africa’s conservation
areas, this is one of the places in Africa where you stand a very
good chance of seeing the "Big Five". Spend two nights
at Ngorongoro , where the high altitude of the Crater Rim will ensure
you sleep well.
DAY 4:
Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, our essential Northern Circuit safari has allocated

and sounds of the wild echoing within the crater walls.

This morning you will drive to Lake Manyara. Activities here will
include a walk around the rim of the Great Rift Valley, escorted

famous for its herds of elephants and huge variety of birds. The
Lake Manyara forest is the place to see leopard, while lions hunt
on the grassy shores of the lake.

In the afternoon you'll be taken on a game drive through the park.

Tanzania
has one of the largest areas of protected lands in the world. It
houses the largest Game Reserve on the continent (Selous) and its
most famous national park (the Serengeti), not to mention the famous
Ngorongoro Crater considered being the eighth wonder of the world.
Here you can experience the landscapes which have captivated the
minds of millions of people. 
Tanzania is endowed with some of the most diverse and picturesque landscape. Its towering mountains in the North are some of the highest mountains in Africa. Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest point, is a great extinct volcano 5,895m (19,345ft) above sea level. Rift Cross can take you to the roof of Africa - Kilimanjaro and to the tops of other attractive mountains such as Meru and Oldoinyo lengai. Climbing these volcanoes is an incredible but manageable challenge. For travelers seeking adventures off the beaten track and spectacular views, these are ideal destinations.
The
white and golden sands of East Africa’s beaches are deservedly
world famous. They are soaked in sun all year round, and surrounded
by coral reef and the exotic scenery of the Indian Ocean. A rest
on a Tanzanian beach will leave you refreshed, restored and intrigued.
Walking through the narrow, twisting streets of Zanzibar’s
Stone Town plunges you into the past.
To many people tourism is confined to the wildlife destination, mountain trekking and beach relaxation. Rift Cross goes beyond the limits by taking you to experience the richest and most diverse cultures of people who follow ancient traditions –yet engaging on their own terms, with a globalizing world. Let us take you to visit these peoples, their homes and villages.
