Serengeti – Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Serengeti – Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After breakfast, you’ll leave Tarangire and journey through the breathtaking Ngorongoro Conservation Area toward the Serengeti. Along the way, you’ll stop briefly at the Ngorongoro Crater viewpoint to take photos and admire the sweeping landscapes and the Rift Valley.

Arriving in central Serengeti, you’ll begin an afternoon game drive across the endless plains, spotting lions, elephants, cheetahs, wildebeest, and other wildlife in their natural habitat. The Serengeti is famous for its vast open plains and, depending on the season, the Great Wildebeest Migration, with massive herds of herbivores and their predator followers moving across the park.

Our experienced driver-guide will position you to witness part of this incredible migration.
