Continuing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you'll eventually reach the Southern entrance of the Serengeti. The Serengeti is known for its vast grasslands, perfect for wildlife spotting.

The Serengeti, meaning "endless plains" in Maasai, features central plains teeming with carnivores such as leopards, lions, hyenas, and cheetahs. It's the epicenter of the annual wildebeest and zebra migration between the Kenyan Mara and Serengeti. Keep an eye out for diverse bird species, including eagles, ducks, geese, egrets, vultures, secretary birds, ibises, storks, herons, kites, pelicans, cranes, and guinea fowls.

After breakfast, you'll journey from Serengeti National Park to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. This natural wonder, hidden within towering volcanic walls, presents a pristine landscape with vast savannahs, scattered acacia woodlands, shimmering lakes, swamps, and a touch of Maasai community culture. This crater formed millions of years ago when a massive volcano erupted and collapsed.

Descending into the crater is an adventure in itself. On the crater floor, you'll encounter wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 bird species. The Ngorongoro Crater offers a unique chance to see the critically endangered black rhinoceros, occasionally seen in the open grasslands, all while enjoying your lunch.

After an afternoon of exploring the crater's wonders, you'll head to Arusha city.
