Full Day Serengeti - Big Cat Country

A full day in the Serengeti gives you time to truly absorb this incredible ecosystem. We'll do early morning and late afternoon drives when predators are most active. The Seronera area has the highest concentration of leopards in Africa - look for them draped over branches of sausage trees. Lions lounge in the kopjes (granite outcrops), and cheetahs scan the plains for gazelles. We'll pack a picnic lunch to maximize game viewing time.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro - The Eighth Wonder

After a final morning game drive in the Serengeti, we head to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The drive takes us through Maasai lands where you'll see traditional bomas (villages) and cattle herds. We ascend to the crater rim at 2,300 meters where temperatures drop and clouds swirl. Your lodge sits right on the rim with views into the crater - on a clear evening, you can see elephants and buffalo from your room.

Ngorongoro Crater - Garden of Eden

The highlight of many Tanzania safaris. We descend 600 meters into the crater at dawn when animals are most active. The crater floor is only 260 square kilometers but contains an estimated 25,000 large animals including the endangered black rhino - this is one of the best places in Africa to see them. Lions are everywhere, and the Ngoitoktok hippo pool is spectacular. We'll enjoy a picnic lunch by the soda lake where flamingos feed.
