Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you will depart for the amazing Ngorongoro Conservation Area. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ngorongoro Crater was formed 2-3 million years ago when a volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself. With its 2,000-foot-high walls, very few animals migrate in and out of the crater providing it with one of the highest concentrations of wild animals of any African national park.

Today, you will enjoy your first game drive before stopping for a picnic lunch. Expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many rare birds you might even see the Big Five in one day!

After lunch, you will continue with an afternoon game drive exploring more of this small but beautiful national park. At 6 pm, you will be taken to your lodge for an unforgettable overnight stay in the Ngorongoro Crater.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area - Serengeti National Park

A 6 am wake-up call is recommended to catch the amazing sunrise over the crater. After breakfast, you will depart for the South Serengeti ecosystem belonging jointly to the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. One of the most scenic drives in Tanzania, you can see Maasai warriors grazing cattle and, depending on the time of year you may witness what makes up the largest mass migration of animals on earth. Huge herds of wildebeest, gazelles, and zebras move clockwise to find better grazing areas.

After lunch, you will begin your afternoon game drive where you can expect to see large numbers of elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos, antelopes, and many exotic bird species. Your drive will end at your chosen camp or lodge where you will relax and rest overnight.

Serengeti National Park

Today’s tour departs around 6 am in search of nocturnal predators returning from their night’s hunting or animals waking up in the early dawn. Breakfast boxes will be prepared and you will take a brief stop for a bush breakfast to enjoy the sunrise. Next, your drive will continue to look for the pride of lions, cheetahs, and leopards, all in abundance in the Serengeti. You will learn the history of the park as you pass by the information center in the Seronera area, before returning to your lodge for a relaxed lunch and cold drinks.

Later in the afternoon, when the sun is less intense, you have the option to go on an early evening game drive or a nature walk around the camp with the resident community, who will be happy to share their knowledge of the region’s plants and animals with you.

If you wish to maximize your time in the park, lunch can also be taken as a picnic —a long day but an experience you won’t forget.
