Today, we start our day early in the morning and, after having our breakfast, we will set off on a journey towards the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. It's worth noting that the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater on our planet. This natural wonder is home to an estimated 30,000 large mammals, and thanks to its natural boundaries, the entire conservation area teems with wildlife, including the iconic Big Five animals such as the African black rhino, hyenas, zebras, and elephants, among others. As the day draws to a close, we will make our way to Ndutu/South Serengeti, where we will spend the night at Africa Safari South Serengeti. This region is renowned for being the stage of the Great Migration's calving season, which is undoubtedly one of the most exciting moments during the annual wildebeest migration.

The roads traverse untouched Maasai territory, where you'll often see small Maasai villages and imposing mountains in the distance, set against a rugged and barren landscape. From June to November, approximately two million flamingos congregate around the lake. On our route to the lodge, we can take a detour to visit the geothermal hot springs. We will spend the night at Africa Safari Lake Natron. This lodge features a picturesque swimming pool that seamlessly blends with the natural surroundings and provides breathtaking vistas of the nearby Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai, a volcano that is still active. Take in the splendid scenery! The lodge also offers a short 10-minute walk to the lake, accompanied by a guide.
