Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
Following an early breakfast, we will set off toward the Serengeti National Park, the most renowned national park in the world. Although the drive is lengthy, the scenery is breathtaking and will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on first-time visitors.
As we journey deeper into the Serengeti, you will understand why its name translates to endless plains in the local language. Encompassing an astonishing 18 000km², the park's seemingly boundless plains will stretch out before you, defying your senses and perception of distance.
It is the ultimate destination for wildlife enthusiasts, as the park is home to over 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and various antelope species. For spotting big cats and large predators, the Serengeti is unparalleled, with lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas frequently sighted. In addition, many iconic scenes of the famous river crossings have been filmed in this park.

Day 4
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
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 will ever witness. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we will proceed to the Ngorongoro Crater, the 8th wonder of the natural world.
The crater spreads for 165km² and has 610m high walls, making you think of Noah's ark as you can find most of the animals indigenous to East Africa in the crater. It is one of the rare locations on the continent where you can observe the black rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a significant concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It is also famous for the exceptionally large elephants residing here, the biggest in the world, with huge tusks. The Ngorongoro Crater is truly a wonder of the natural world.

You will encounter a waterfall that cascades down a lush green cliff, surrounded by dense forest and coffee plantations. Glacial meltwater from the nearby Mount Kilimanjaro feeds the waterfall and forms a large pool at its base, which is perfect for swimming and relaxing.
Visitors to the Materuni Waterfall can take a scenic hike through the lush forest, enjoying stunning views of the surrounding landscape, coffee plantations, and traditional Chagga villages. You can spot local wildlife like blue and colobus monkeys along the way.
At the waterfall, visitors can take a refreshing dip in the pool, enjoy a picnic lunch, or relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. The area around the waterfall is also home to a variety of bird species, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers.
