Day 3

Serengeti National Park Full Game Drive

Serengeti National Park Full Game Drive

This entire day is set aside for game drives upon the Serengeti. The Serengeti, the habitat of an abundance of wildlife such as impalas, buffalos, crocodiles, and hippos, is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebras, antelopes, and wildebeests. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, you may have the opportunity to see the resident predators, leopards, cheetahs, and lions, fulfilling their role in the circle of life.

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive to Arusha Town

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive to Arusha Town

After breakfast at Heritage Ndutu Camp, you will drive from Serengeti National Park to the Ngorongoro Crater. When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodlands, and glistening lakes and swamps. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago. The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself and when you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands. After a full afternoon inside the crater, you will head to Arusha town and check in at the Gold Crest Hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
