Although populations fluctuate, there are an estimated 3 million large game animals in the Serengeti, including over 2,500 lions, 1.2 million wildebeests and over 200,000 zebras. You will also have the opportunity to see giraffes, baboons, Colobus monkeys, gazelles, antelopes, crocodiles, hippos, waterbuck, hartebeest and more! This vast and varied park is home to more than 500 bird species; including ostriches, vultures, martial eagles, kori bustards, crowned cranes and secretary birds.

Ngorongoro Crater

Wake early and enjoy breakfast before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater for your final major game drive.

The crater is a spectacular natural wildlife sanctuary, surrounded by steep walls and supporting a remarkable concentration of wildlife.

Spend the morning exploring the crater floor in search of lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, gazelles and, with luck, the endangered black rhinoceros.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at a designated location before continuing your game drive.

In the afternoon, ascend from the crater and begin your journey back to Arusha.
