Arusha - Ngorongoro Crater

Our driver will pick you up from your Hotel in Arusha, with picnic lunch en route to a full day Ngorongoro Crater tour. You will be taken 2000ft down the crater by a 4wheel drive vehicle, explore the crater before ascending and drive to your Lodge set on a crater rim.

The Ngorongoro Crater is often called ‘Africa’s Eden’ and the ‘8th Natural Wonder of the World,’ a visit to the crater is a main drawcard for tourists coming to Tanzania and a definite world-class attraction. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area was formed some 2.5 million years ago from a volcanic mountain sinking due to inactivity, and was initially thought to be higher than Tanzania’s famous Kilimanjaro. The crater has evolved into a unique and integral part of Tanzania’s eco-system. The crater is actually a caldera, measures 22.5 km’s across and the rim walls stand 600m high.

In the evening, back to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. African Leopard: these reclusive predators are commonly seen in the Seronera region but are present throughout the national park with the population at around 1,000. African Elephant.

Serengeti National Park (North Mara)

After breakfast at the Camp, depart with your picnic lunch for a game drive and to view the great migration.

In Serengeti National Park, wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in the Wagakuria area, with prides of lions numbering up to 30 strong. However, from August to October, this region transforms into a wildlife paradise. The Mara River is a key feature, and it's not uncommon to witness the herds crossing the Mara River heading north one day and then returning south a few days later. Please note that finding an actual crossing can be quite challenging and is sometimes a matter of luck.

Serengeti National Park (North Mara)

After breakfast, enjoy a full day of game dive at the Mara River viewing the great migration river crossing. In the evening, back to the camp for the evening bonfire, dinner and overnight.

In August, lots of animals start crossing the Kogatende River every day because a big group of them has settled in that area. From August to October, it's a great time to watch animals because you'll almost always see them crossing the river. The animals don't have a specific path they follow; they go back and forth across the river, looking for fresh grass that grows after it rains. It's normal to see many different groups of animals crossing in different directions on the same day.
