Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, we will depart for Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is unequalled in its natural beauty and scientific value. It is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world and boasts the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. The park is most famous for the Great Migration, during which vast numbers of wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebras and antelope, move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The precise timing of the migration depends entirely on the rainfall patterns each year. The Serengeti is truly spectacular and is Tanzania's oldest national park, as well as one of the oldest ecosystems on earth. Its climate and vegetation have remained largely untouched for millions of years.

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater
Early in the morning after breakfast, we will depart for the Ngorongoro Crater. The first sight of the crater is like stepping into a forgotten world. Hidden by steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness featuring sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The crater was formed when a large volcano exploded and collapsed on itself two to three million years ago. It is renowned for its geological wonders and for being a natural reserve that is home to some of the densest populations of large mammals on the African continent. The drive down into the crater is an adventure in and of itself, and once you reach the crater floor, you will quickly find yourself among large numbers of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 species of birds. The crater provides the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino.
In the late afternoon, we will drive to your accommodations for dinner and your overnight stay.
