Central Serengeti National Park

Another sunrise brings fresh opportunities for sightings. Today you explore new sectors of Central Serengeti, following river lines where leopards often rest in the shade and hippos grunt from hidden pools. The day is unhurried, allowing time to observe interactions zebras quarreling over grazing patches, hyenas patrolling for scraps, or vultures circling above. After lunch, you may track migrating herds if they are nearby, watching thousands of wildebeest ripple across the plains. As evening falls, return to camp for storytelling around the fire and the distant echoes of nocturnal wildlife.

Ngorongoro Crater

Today offers a deeper exploration of Ngorongoro’s remarkable ecosystem. You head back into the crater early, when clouds drift low and animals are most active. Lions may be on the move, and large bull elephants wander through the swamp forests. Flamingos gather along shallow lakes, painting the water pink with their presence. Your guide helps you track rare species, including the elusive black rhino. After a picnic lunch in a designated area, continue wildlife viewing before ascending the steep crater wall. The evening is spent relaxing at the lodge and soaking in panoramic views.
