Game Drive in the Plains of Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, you'll embark on a game drive in the Serengeti, renowned as one of the world's most famous national parks. This experience will be unforgettable, especially for first-time visitors. As you venture deeper into the Serengeti, you'll understand why its name, in the local language, translates to "endless plains."

Covering 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometers), the Serengeti features vast, uninterrupted plains that stretch to the horizon, challenging your sense of distance. It is home to the Great Migration, which includes 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and various antelopes. The park is also a prime location for spotting big cats and large predators, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. Many iconic television scenes, such as the dramatic river crossings, have been filmed in this remarkable park.

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

You’ll rise early to embark on a sunrise game drive, taking advantage of the cooler temperatures when animals are most active and enjoying one of Africa's most breathtaking sunrises. After this memorable experience, you'll return to camp for breakfast, check out, and then travel to the Ngorongoro Crater. Renowned for having the highest concentration of wildlife on the planet. It’s home to nearly every species native to East Africa including the elusive black rhino. The crater features a diverse landscape with a river, several swamps, a soda lake that appears as steam from above, a forest, and expansive plains. The resident large bull elephants are notable for their exceptionally large tusks, attributed to the nutrient-rich volcanic soil and grasses.

You'll enjoy dinner and a restful overnight stay.
