After lunch, we will continue our game viewing, following the movement of the migrants in the northern part of the park.

Day 4

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

We’ll start the day with an early morning game drive before heading to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro is unique in that it is a conversation area instead of a national park, which means the area is managed for both the animals and the local Maasai people who graze their cattle and live alongside the indigenous wildlife. During the drive in Ngorongoro, we will also go on a game drive in the Ndutu Area. After the game drive, we will stop at the entrance gate, where you’ll have a chance to learn more about this fascinating volcanic landscape. We will then drive around the rim of the crater en route to the campsite for dinner and your overnight stay.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
High Season Most of the year – July to March (Expect crowds)
Best Weather June to October (Rainfall is little to none)

Day 5

Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha

Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha

Today we will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater walls provide a natural sanctuary for the animals, which means there is plenty to see: lions, elephants, buffalos, rhinos, and leopards (if you are lucky). The only animal you won’t see here is a giraffe, whose long legs are unable to cope with the crater’s steep sides. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater before returning to Arusha in the late afternoon.
