Central Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro then Transfer Game Drive

A sunrise game drive is an excellent way to experience the African wilderness. The early morning, around sunrise, is an ideal time to spot some of the park’s most elusive and active wildlife due to the cooler temperatures and softer light. This allows for better visibility and increased chances of encountering animals such as lions, leopards, and hyenas during their most active periods.

After the sunrise game drive, the next part of the itinerary involves visiting the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, one of Tanzania’s most stunning and unique parks.
