Day 8

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

Have breakfast at the camp, with a packed lunch, drive to Ngorongoro Crater for a wonderful game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is just one of those places that have to be seen—words alone cannot do it justice. Leaving our lodge, we’ll drive down into what was once, many aeons ago, the fiery heart of a huge volcano. Today this natural amphitheatre has a much more peaceful atmosphere as wildebeests, Coke’s hartebeests, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, and common zebras feed contentedly—or at least as contentedly as the ever-present lions and cheetahs will allow. However, the black rhinos here will be less concerned about these predators. The birdlife in the crater varies according to the seasons but during our visit, we should see grey-crowned cranes, lappet-faced vultures, black-bellied and kori bustards, Fischer’s lovebird and Northern anteater, chat among many others. Later, we will drive to Eileen's Trees Inn.

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