Central Serengeti National Park Game Drives
After an early breakfast, you will depart from Arusha to the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. You will drive up the crater highlands and make a quick stop at the rim for an out-of-this-world view of the Ngorongoro Crater.
This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq km), and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon, defying your senses and perception of distances.
It is the home of the great migration and 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes, including the abundant impalas and Thomson's gazelles. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas.

Serengeti National Park Game Drive to Simba Camp
On this day, we suggest a very early wake-up to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness.
After the game drive, you will return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq miles and has 2,000 ft-high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa.
It's one of the very rare locations on the whole continent where you can witness the black rhinos and flamingos. The concentration of wildlife in the park is the greatest on the continent.
The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. This is due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil.
