Serengeti meaning “endless plains” in Kiswahili is a 6,900sq miles (18,000sq km) park inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than a million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson’s gazelles. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey that migrate throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongoose, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons and African hares also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Seronera Public Campsite. Meals are on a full-board basis.

Ngorongoro Crater

You will wake up early for a pre-breakfast safari, to spot the animals when they are more active hunting. The sunrise in the African Savannah is one of the most beautiful experiences one can have. After the game drive, you will return to the camp for brunch. In the afternoon, you'll transfer to Ngorongoro, the 8th Natural Wonder of the World. With walls 2,000ft high and a crater floor that spreads for 102sq miles, the crater is a virtual Noah’s Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhinos.

In fact, the crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingoes, a forest and open plains. The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusks. Your dinner and overnight will be at the Ngorongoro Simba Campsite. Meals are on a full-board basis.
