Ngorongoro Crater, overnight in Central Serengeti
After an early breakfast, we head out towards the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest volcanic caldera. Almost 20km wide, approximately 600m deep, and known for its large variety of wildlife, the caldera, formed at the explosion of a volcano some 3 million years ago, was once taller than Kilimanjaro. This paradise caldera hosts an abundance of the finest animal life on the planet. In addition to the Big Five, the various springs attract animals such as wildebeest, gazelle, reedbuck, and more than 500 bird species.
At approximately 14h00, we head towards the Serengeti, arriving at our lodgings in a high-grade tented camp at roughly 17h00.

Serengeti National Park
You will enjoy a full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is the habitat for an abundance of wildlife, such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, but is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebras (250,000), wildebeest (1.5 million!), and antelope (500,000). The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. Apart from the migrating herds, we may see predators, such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions, plying their rough trade. At roughly 14h00, we head back to Karatu for an overnight stay.
