After early breakfast this morning, depart the Camp at 06:30 am, ready for a full day game drive, enjoy an amazing game drive. The great diversity of Serengeti wildlife is evident here—look for buffalo, hippopotamus, elephant, giraffe, antelope, Thompson’s and grant’s gazelle, and lions. If you are there during the spectacular wildebeest migration, you will be more than astonished. In the late afternoon, we venture out in another game drive. Everywhere there are animals, monkeys, and, yes, birds, but look closely and you will be thrilled to see the huge jungle cats—lion, leopard, and cheetah—watching the world go by. Nothing is quite so essentially ‘Safari’ as the traditional ‘bush dinner’. Typically, our bush dinner takes place at a scenic location on the plains. Our guests will find that a table and chairs have already been set up. Begin with sundowners, the selection of meat, fish, and poultry will be supplemented by vegetarian choices, salads, fruit, desserts from the main camp.

Day 4
Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro
Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro
Walking safari puts you in close to nature, suddenly your senses come alive- smell, touch, sight, taste and hearing, but sound, sight and smell becomes more intensively meaningful- is that bush a lone buffalo, can we approach that mob of elephants a head of us before seeing or smelling us, I wonder how old are these lions foot prints, these are the kind of question a walking safari brings to you, arousing the sense of being part of nature.
Accompanied by a well- trained park ranger, a walking safari last about 2-3 hrs. The bush can be examined in a low pace allowing for a more attention and fascinating detailed information about plants and their medicinal uses, animal dropping, foot prints, landscape and geology than safari solely in a safari vehicle. Guest can approach game quite closely depending on the direction of wind and cover available, note guides do not always bring guest close to wildlife than is comfortable. Afterwards, proceed to Ngorongoro Crater for Dinner and overnight.
