Game drive through Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti
After breakfast, we set off to explore the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa's Seven Wonders. This caldera is renowned for its exceptional game viewing, housing around 25,000 large mammals within its enclosed ecosystem.
As we descend the bumpy, winding track to the caldera floor, we pass through various climatic zones until we reach the expansive landscape 600 meters below. Here, we can expect to see buffalo, wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, elephants, reedbucks, and Thomson's gazelles. Predators like lions and cheetahs may be spotted lounging in the grass or on the hunt, along with some of the more than 500 bird species that call this area home. With a bit of luck, we might even catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino.
After an exciting game drive in the crater, we’ll head back to our carefully chosen quality tented camp in Serengeti National Park.
