Day 3

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

The entire day is reserved for further game drives in the Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is home to a variety of wild animals such as impala, buffalo, crocodiles and hippos. However, it is best known for its large migratory herds of zebra and wildebeest. The migration of the animals is determined by the rains and varies from year to year. In November and December, the animals move from the northern region, which is characterised by forests and hills, to the grassy plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June, they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, there is the possibility of seeing predators such as leopards, cheetahs and lions, which are always lurking nearby.

Overnight - Kont tiki Tented Camp, Serengeti National Park.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

Today you will be rewarded with a full-day game drive in the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is famous for the best game viewing in Africa, as there is always an abundance of wildlife due to the permanent water supply on the crater floor.

On arrival at the crater rim, you will descend into the crater, where your safari truly begins. Spot the endangered black rhino as well as wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, eland, Grant's and Thomson's gazelles, and of course, elephants with huge tusks. The crater is also home to the largest known population of lions, and you will also find leopards and cheetahs, as well as scavengers such as spotted hyenas, jackals, and rare wild dogs. Over 500 bird species have been recorded in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, including white pelicans and flamingos.
