Karatu Town - Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular. This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time.
As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains". The park has 6,900 sq. miles (18,000 sq. km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. It is the home of the Great Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas.
You will have lunch then continue with a game drive at Serengeti, later drive to the camp for dinner and overnight.

Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater
You will have limited time in Serengeti on this day, so we suggest a very early wake-up and early breakfast 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 morning game drive, later you will return to the camp for lunch then proceed to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the 8th wonder of the Natural World.
The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2.000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino.
Arrive at the Ngorongoro conservation area in the evening time then drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
