At 6:30 AM, you'll be picked up and driven from Arusha to the Serengeti National Park. Situated in northern Tanzania and spanning 14,763 kilometers, this iconic park borders the Ngorongoro Highlands and Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve. Known for hosting the world’s largest annual migration, more than 1.5 million wildebeests and zebras journey between Kenya and Tanzania each year. This incredible migration, the longest overland migration in the world, covers approximately 800 kilometers annually.

From April to May, the herds travel through the Western Corridor towards the northern part of the park. From July to October, they bravely cross the Grumeti and Mara Rivers, where about 3,000 crocodiles lie in wait. Witnessing this breathtaking and dramatic spectacle is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Formed by a volcanic explosion and collapse 2 to 3 million years ago, the crater is 610 meters (2,000 feet) deep and spans 260 square kilometers (100 square miles). The original volcano is estimated to have been 4,500 to 5,800 meters (14,800 to 19,000 feet) high, with the crater floor now at an elevation of 1,800 meters (5,900 feet) above sea level.

Home to approximately 25,000 large animals, including black rhinoceroses, African buffalos, elephants, hippopotamuses, wildebeests, zebras, elands, Grant's and Thomson's gazelles, lions, leopards, and waterbucks, the crater offers a serene and diverse wildlife experience.
