It is one of the best places in East Africa to see elephants. From the open roof of your safari vehicle, you will have a great view of the elephants and the surrounding landscape. In addition to elephants, the park is home to Masai giraffes, various gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons, and over 500 bird species.

Day 3

Ngorongoro Crater - Serengeti National Park

Ngorongoro Crater - Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater via a steep and narrow road. The slopes are forested, but the landscape gradually changes to savannah, dotted with occasional acacia trees. The wildlife here is breathtaking, and if you are lucky, you might spot the “Big Five” – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard. The crater is also home to warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, hyenas, and many more. After a morning of game viewing and a picnic lunch, you will leave the crater in the afternoon and head to Serengeti National Park.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest volcanic caldera, formed during the massive explosion of a volcano once higher than Kilimanjaro, some two to three million years ago. The crater has a total area of 304 km², is 600 meters deep, and has a diameter of 20 km.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)

Day 4

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will begin your full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park with a picnic lunch in hand. A million wildebeest, each driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfill their instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life here. The Serengeti offers special sights, sounds, and smells of Africa, with stunning scenery, ever-changing light, and captivating wildlife. In this park, the animals don’t follow any schedule, so you may encounter lions, leopards, elephants, zebras, cheetahs, antelopes, gazelles, hippos, and many species of birds and reptiles during your game drive. You may spend the day in the central area of the park, or your guide will know where to take you based on the season (depending on the animal’s migration patterns). In the evening, you will drive back to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay.

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)
