Day 5

Serengeti Game Drive - Ngorongoro Highlands

Serengeti Game Drive - Ngorongoro Highlands

On this day, we suggest a very early wake-up call in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. After the game drive, we'll return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World.

The crater spreads for 102 square miles and has 2,000-feet high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations on the continent where you can witness the black rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants, which are the largest in the world, and it has huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a wonder of the natural world.
