Full_Day Game Drive in Serengeti National Park

Today is all about enjoying the park's beauty. We start early in the morning as the sun rises, and we spend the whole day exploring. After our first adventure, we go back to our campsite and have a good breakfast. We packed lunch and then set out for a long drive to see animals in the park. We're hoping to see the famous Big 5 animals. But the Serengeti isn't just about big animals; it's also home to more than 500 kinds of birds. Some are really big, like ostriches, and some are interesting, like secretary birds. We'll keep looking for wildlife until the sun sets, after an unforgettable day, you will return to your camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater_Arusha City

Early in the morning, you will leave Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater. When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness, including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The Crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed on itself two to three million years ago. It is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve that is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent. The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself, and when you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands. After a picnic lunch inside the crater, you will drive back to Arusha.
