The drive usually lasts about six to seven hours. If the weather is clear, you’ll stop briefly at the crater viewpoint past the Ngorongoro gate, where you can take a 10-minute break to admire the stunning view of the Ngorongoro Crater from above.

You’ll enjoy a hot lunch at the Serengeti Naabi Hill gate before checking in at the park for an afternoon game drive. As the sun sets, you’ll head to your campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

Note: You’ll also have the option to visit a Maasai village at no extra cost. However, this experience has become more commercialized in recent years, and many guests choose to skip it.
