Day 4

Serengeti National Park

– After breakfast drive up the crater highlands, stopping at the rim for a spectacular view of the Ngoro Ngoro Crater. Continuing as far as the eye can see is the vast Serengeti.

– Serengeti means “endless plains” in the language of the Maasai and you will see the grassland savannah stretching to the horizon. Bizarre rock formations called kopjes dot the grassy landscape where predators are often seen.

– Park is inhabited by more than 2 million wildebeest. From January to April is the season when wildebeest give birth to their calves and also hundreds of thousands of plains zebras and Thomson’s gazelles while from July to October is the best time to witness the great migration. Large predators including lions, cheetahs and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrate throughout the park.

– After the game drive, you will drive to seronera campsite for dinner and overnight.

Day 5

Serengeti to Ngorongoro

-Today you will wake up very early in the morning have breakfast and head for a sunrise game drive. The sunrise in the African Savanna is one of the most beautiful experiences one can have and also it’s the best time to spot the shy animals such as cheater and others since it is the time when they are more active.

-Later at noon you will return back to the campsite for a brunch/lunch and then you will continue with the game drive on route to Simba campsite in Ngoro Ngoro for dinner and overnight.

Day 6

Ngoro Ngoro Crater

– Today you will wake up early in the morning and have breakfast then descend to Ngoro Ngoro Crater.

-The Ngoro Ngoro Crater was formed when a large volcano erupted and collapsed on itself. This explosion created a caldera approximately two and a half million years ago.

-It is inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhino.

-In fact, the crater has the greatest concentration of wild life in the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, and a soda lake that from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingos, a forest and open plains.

-The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusks, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses.

-The Ngoro Ngoro Crater is also referred to as ‘the Garden of Eden’ due to its dazzling beauty and being a paradise for animals.

-After an extensive game drive you will drive back to Arusha town arriving at around 6:30pm where our safari ends.
