Serengeti National Park

After an early breakfast, you will drive to another part of Serengeti National Park to explore its vast reaches, where the big cats—lions, leopards, and cheetahs—abound. Following the short rains, the Serengeti’s golden horizon transforms into an endless green carpet, flecked with wildflowers. The famous plains are interspersed with wooded hills, towering termite mounds, monumental rock kopjes, and rivers lined with elegant acacia trees.

The vast Serengeti is one of the most stunning wildlife sanctuaries on the planet. The name comes from the Maasai word "Siringet," meaning endless plains. This expansive savannah hosts the world’s largest surviving concentration of plains game. In addition to the short grass plains, there are beautiful rocky outcrops called kopjes (pronounced copies) and thousands of acres of bush and acacia woodland. The Seronera area has permanent water, making it an excellent spot to observe the big cats and elephants, particularly during the dry season.

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you’ll drive to Ngorongoro Crater and venture down to the crater floor, often referred to as the “Garden of Eden,” where you’ll witness a high concentration of wildlife. The crater is the largest unbroken caldera in the world, and at 2,000-feet-deep and 264-square-miles, is home to an astonishing array of wildlife. It is universally acclaimed as one of the natural wonders of the world.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the crater hosts almost every species found in the region, except for giraffes, as they cannot navigate the steep incline. There are cheetahs, hippos, plains species, and a variety of birdlife. It’s one of the few remaining places where you can encounter the highly endangered black rhino. Additionally, you may spot elephants (mostly lone or “bachelor” bulls), contented lion prides, and resident herds of wildebeest and zebras.

The park’s long vistas and baobab-studded landscape create a unique environment compared to other parks. The red dust, palms, and baobabs set the scene for breathtaking sunrise and sunset photos. During the dry season, the Tarangire River becomes the only water source for miles, attracting herds of elephants, wildebeests, and zebras. This park is also a good spot to sight the elusive leopard, and it is home to over 550 bird species, the most in any habitat in the world.
