Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you’ll enjoy a full day game drive on the Serengeti plains. The Serengeti is easily Tanzania’s most famous national park, and it’s also the largest, covering 14,763 square kilometers of protected area bordering Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. It is the Great Migration for which Serengeti is perhaps most famous, as millions of wildebeest and zebra search for greener pastures. You’ll spend the day in search of the “Big Five,” and in the evening, drive back to your tented camp.

Day 4

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, we will begin our journey to the Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest volcanic caldera at 8,300 sq km and is often described as one of the natural wonders of the world, not only for its geological significance, but because it serves as a natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s largest populations of great mammals. Ngorongoro and other free-standing mountains in the region are volcanic in origin, formed during the fracturing process that created the Rift Valley 15 to 20 million years ago. At its peak around three million years ago, Ngorongoro was similar in height to Mount Kilimanjaro today.

Enjoy an amazing safari day in the crater, and in the afternoon, we will drive to your lodge.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
