Extensive Game Drive In Masai Mara National Reserve
Extensive Game Drive In Masai Mara National Reserve
We will go on a full-day game drive with a packed lunch after breakfast. Along with its plethora of resident wildlife, the reserve is well known for its black-maned lions. It is one of the few places where a morning game drive will likely yield the Big Five. Numerous cheetahs are so modest that they will seek shelter from the hot sun under the cars, and some will even climb onto the roof to get a better view of potential prey. With its undulating hills and endless plains extending as far as the eye can see, the vast savannah of the Masai Mara is a sight to behold. There is a ton of wildlife here, including peaceful herds of zebras, gazelles, and wildebeests grazing next to giraffes that are extremely tall with lions relaxing in the shade and leopards skulking in the trees, the predators are never far behind. Dinner and overnight at the campsite.

Day 4
Game Drive In Serengeti
Game Drive In Serengeti
Full day in the Serengeti with a flexible schedule and unlimited mileage.
As you crest the hillside, spread out before you, as far as the eyes can see, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means “endless plains” in Kiswahili. This 6,900-square-mile (18,000-square-kilometer) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals, including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and thomson’s gazelles. Large predators, including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey, which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares also inhabit the area, along with nearly 500 species of birds.
In the afternoon, you’ll enjoy a game drive en route to the campsite.

Have a morning game drive in Serengeti and then transfer to Ngorongoro.
To spot the animals when they are more active and to see a spectacular sunrise, you will have to get up very early today. You will also go on a safari before breakfast. One of the most breathtaking sights one can see is the sunrise over the African savannah. Return to the camp for brunch after the game drive. Transfer to Ngorongoro, the eighth natural wonder of the world, in the afternoon. The crater resembles Noah’s Ark thanks to its 2,000-foot-high walls and 102 square mile crater floor. Almost all of the East African wildlife, including the endangered black rhino, calls it home. The crater is home to the most wildlife on the entire planet.

We’ll have some time for a quick wildlife drive following lunch, after which we’ll climb the crater and leave the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the direction of Arusha.
