Day 2

Karatu To Serengeti National Park

Karatu To Serengeti National Park

After breakfast at your Country Lodge, depart for Serengeti National Park. Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some two million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebras and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelles join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa. See great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephants and giraffes, and hundreds upon hundreds of elands, topis, kongonis, impalas and Grant's gazelles. A picnic lunch will be provided. After stopping for your picnic lunch on a kopje (rock outcropping) in Serengeti, you will continue further into the park and go on a game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay are at Osinon Camp.

Day 3

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

Enjoy a full day of game drives around Serengeti. It opens onto the Serenora valley, a vibrant wildlife area at the heart of the Serengeti. The spectacle of predators versus prey dominates Tanzania's greatest park. Golden–manned lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers. Solitary leopards haunt the acacia trees lining the Seronera River, while high densities of cheetahs prowl the southeastern plains. Almost uniquely, all three African jackal species occur here, alongside the spotted hyena and a host of more elusive small predators, ranging from the insectivorous aardwolf to the beautiful serval cat. All your meals and accommodation are at Osinon Camp.

Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world with 19.2km in diameter, 2000 feet deep, and 102sq miles in area. The rich pasture and permanent water of the crater floor support a large resident population of wildlife of up to 25,000 predominantly grazing animals.
