The park is 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.

Day 3

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

Today, we suggest a very early wake-up 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 return to the camp for a rewarding brunch. We will then proceed to Ngorongoro, 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 inhabits almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It’s one of the very rare locations on the whole 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 have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World. We will have dinner and overnight at Simba Campsite, located on the crater rim.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
