After having breakfast, you'll collect your packed lunch and head to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The tour will take you down 2000 feet (over 600 meters) to the floor of the crater, which is more precisely a caldera. This enclosed ecosphere with an area of 304 square kilometers was formed some two or three million years ago in the massive explosion of a volcano that was once higher than Kilimanjaro. It offers the best wildlife-viewing opportunities in all of Tanzania. You will have the chance to explore the forest areas inhabited by monkeys and elephants, the lake area where you may see flamingos, and the open savannah where the lions hunt for food. With approximately 25,000 large mammals within the caldera, you will have the opportunity to see animals such as wildebeest, gazelles, reedbucks, bushbucks, hartebeests, hippos, antelopes, both Grant’s and Thompson’s gazelles, in addition to the Big Five (elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, and leopard), as well as over 500 bird species.

The Serengeti is one of Africa's largest parks, covering an area of 15,000 square kilometers. It's home to approximately three million large mammals and is made up of diverse landscapes. The southern region is dominated by lush grassy plains that attract around two million wildebeest, half a million zebras, and some quarter million antelopes to make the hazardous journey in search of pasture when autumn rains come.
