Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

Arise early for a scenic drive from the Serengeti to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa's most remarkable natural wonders. As you make your way toward the crater, the landscape shifts dramatically from the open plains of the Serengeti to the arid, desert-like terrain of the crater's northern rim. Keep your eyes open during the journey—this region is still home to abundant wildlife, and you may spot elephants, zebras, or even lions along the way.

You'll arrive at the crater and enjoy a picnic lunch either on the rim or in your vehicle as you descend into the caldera for an unforgettable afternoon game drive. This lush, enclosed ecosystem is home to an incredible density of wildlife, including rhinos, lions, buffalo, and hippos. After several hours of exploring the crater floor, you'll ascend via the lush, green southern rim and drive to your nearby lodge. Check in and unwind with a delicious dinner, surrounded by the highland air and the peaceful sounds of nature.
