Following breakfast, we will begin our morning game drive in Serengeti National Park, tracing the Big 5.

The diverse animals and birds are the "stars of the show," and natural disasters might strike at any time.

Together, the Ngorongoro Crater and the surrounding hills comprise one of Africa's most stunning places. Volcanic craters provide a stunning background to some of Africa's most fertile and productive grazing land.
