Ngorongoro Crater - Serengeti National Park

Sunrise game drive, searching for big cats while hunting, they actively hunt during the early morning.

Then, you'll descend the Crater Floor for a game drive. With its abundant water, excellent grazing, and natural protection from the densely vegetated crater walls, the crater provides shelter to over 25000 animals, including the endangered black rhinoceros. The crater and surrounding highlands are one of Africa's most beautiful regions, with volcanic craters forming stunning backdrops to some of the richest grazing grounds in Africa. With 600-meter-high walls and a rich volcanic floor covering 260km2, the crater is the world's largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera, a crater formed when a large volcano exploded and collapsed on itself two to three million years ago. It is estimated that the height of the original volcano ranged between 4,500 to 5,800 meters high.

Today after breakfast, you will have a half-day game drive in various areas of the central part of Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti ecosystem is home to the Big Five (lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, rhinoceros). The other main species include giraffes, zebras, antelopes, Thompson’s and Grant’s gazelles, hippopotamuses, crocodiles, and in season the spectacular migration of the wildebeest. Everywhere there are animals, vervet monkeys, olive baboons, and a great variety of birds—with a total of 505 species being documented so far. But look closely and you will be thrilled to see the huge jungle cats—lion, leopard, and cheetah—just watching the world go by. Animals in the trees, on the wing, camouflaged in the bush, in rivers, and streams. The adventure of a lifetime. You will have a break for a picnic lunch in the bush before leaving the park towards your reserved accommodation in Karatu town for dinner and an overnight stay.
