This makes the dry season a great time for seeing lions. The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River.

Ngorongoro Crater - Zanzibar

After a 6:30am breakfast, you’ll descend into the crater for a game drive. Later in the day you’ll drive to Arusha and then make your way to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight to Zanzibar. Your overnight stay will be at the Tembo Hotel. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinking water will be provided.

Often called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About two million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted and then collapsed. The sinking volcano floor created a natural enclosure with 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometers wide, the Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps, and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals —including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros, and all the predatory cats. The Maasai people can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.
