Originally established to safeguard the renowned elephant herds of the region, Lake Manyara National Park promises an exceptional wildlife adventure.

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Immediately after breakfast and set off for Serengeti, enjoying game viewing En- route. Serengeti is undoubtedly one of the world's most renowned wildlife sanctuaries, celebrated for its natural beauty and scientific significance. It boasts the highest concentration of plains game in Africa.

One of the park's most iconic phenomena is the Great Wildebeest Migration. Every October and November, over a million wildebeests and about 200,000 zebras journey south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains. Then, after the long rains in April, May, and June, they shift west and north. Serengeti is the epicenter of this legendary migration. In addition to the iconic landscapes, you have a good chance of encountering predators and you may see lion, cheetah and leopard. Depending on the location of the Great Migration, you may venture away from the Central region to experience this natural wonder. It is a truly life-changing experience.

Best Time To Visit January to February and June to October (Different areas are best at different times)

Day 6

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you will drive from Serengeti National Park to the Ngorongoro Crater.
When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago.
The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself and when you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.
After a full afternoon inside the crater, you will head to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay in Arusha.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
