Crater Descent & Serengeti National Park

After a morning game drive on the Ngorongoro Crater floor and a scenic picnic lunch, you will journey to the Serengeti, Tanzania’s most iconic wilderness and home to the legendary Great Migration. This world-renowned spectacle sees over two million wildebeest and zebra navigate the plains, culminating in the dramatic and perilous crossing of the Mara River. Here, the herds must brave treacherous currents and a gauntlet of predators - from lurking crocodiles to lions patrolling the banks - in a breathtaking display of survival that defines the raw beauty of the African wild.
