Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, we will set off for Ngorongoro Crater. As you first gaze upon the Crater, it feels like stepping into a forgotten world. Here, you'll have the chance to spot the endangered black rhino and large prides of lions. The Crater was formed millions of years ago when a massive volcano erupted and collapsed in on itself. It's famous not only for its geological wonders but also for being a natural sanctuary with some of the highest concentrations of large mammals in all of Africa. The descent into the Crater is an adventure on its own, and once you reach the floor, you'll find yourself surrounded by wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 species of birds. This is one of the best places to view the elusive black rhino, often seen grazing in the open grasslands. After a packed lunch, we’ll continue our journey to Serengeti National Park. Dinner and overnight accommodations await at Kubukubu Luxury Tented Lodge.
