Ngorongoro Crater safari
Ngorongoro Crater safari
After an early breakfast, we leave for the Ngorongoro Crater. The park is home to over 25,000 large animals and hundreds of bird species. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area lives up to its reputation for incredible wildlife viewing. The Ngorongoro Crater is home to wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, and Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelle. Watch the herds journey across the base in long columns from the crater rim. Watch for black rhinos in the bushes and old bull elephants with long, majestic tusks around the Gorigor Swamp. Leopards lurk in the Lerai Forest, while prides of lions prowl the plains.
Later in the afternoon, we continue our journey to Central Serengeti where we spend the night.

Day 5
Last day of safari in Serengeti - Afternoon at Tarangire
Last day of safari in Serengeti - Afternoon at Tarangire
Our last morning game drive in Serengeti National Park lasts until mid-afternoon, when we will drive to our accommodation in Tarangire National Park.
Tarangire is best known for its elephant herds and tree-climbing lions. It is home to all the classic African savannah species plus a few unusual ones - such as the long-necked gerenuk - that you won't see in the Serengeti. It's home to all the big predators and with 550 species of bird on the tick list, it's a fabulous destination for bird watchers.
It is Tarangire's dry season that will have you reaching for the superlatives. Between June and November, and January and February, the Tarangire River (running north-south through the park) attracts huge numbers of elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and many antelope species. Go on a Tarangire safari at this time of year to see concentrations of animals rivaled only by those in the Ngorongoro Crater but, in the case of Tarangire, in a largely crowd-free environment.
