Day 7

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro

Breakfast at the camp. The Serengeti is truly spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands which allow for excellent sightings of wildlife. The Serengeti’s climate and vegetation have remained largely untouched for millions of years. Whilst it boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual Great Migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest; accompanied by large numbers of zebra and antelope move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The migration can be found during any given month; you just need to know where to look! The question should really be about the ‘best places’ to see the animals during a certain time of year. In addition to the iconic landscapes, you have a good chance of encountering predators and you may see lion, cheetah and leopard. It is a truly life-changing experience.
In the afternoon, you will start your journey back to Karatu, hopefully enjoying more wonder on the way!

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

Departure

Departure

Have an early breakfast, then we will depart at around 7:30 am from your hotel to the shuttle station for a shuttle to Nairobi via Namanga. You will arrive in Nairobi in the afternoon and there you will continue with your journey to the airport or to your next destination.

NOTE: The shuttle can drop you straight at Jomo Kenyatta Airport incase you don’t have anything to do in Nairobi town or maybe time is not enough to go to the city centre and back to the airport later. Let us know this in time of booking.

You can also opt to fly from Kilimanjaro Airport instead of Nairobi. This way you don’t have to drive again back to Nairobi. We have plenty international flights from Kilimanjaro, so please check the best option for you.
