Serengeti National Park
After early breakfast, we will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha and drive pass the small town of Karatu to the vegetation rich Ngorongoro Crater Highlands before the vast savanna of the southern Serengeti opens before you. The park was already founded in 1951 and is thus the oldest one in Tanzania. He is the heart of a vast ecosystem, whose species-rich animal world is unique in the world.
With about 3 million larger mammals, the Serengeti is the national park with the richest wildlife worldwide. Around two-thirds make up the above-mentioned animal species; furthermore, the park is the home to many other animal species, such as giraffe, buffalo, hyena, elephant or crocodile. Particularly large is the population of feline predators, about 3000 lions, a good 300 cheetahs and estimated 400-700 leopards has their hunting ground here. After the game drive you will stay overnight at Serengeti Wild Camp in the central Serengeti, the Seronera area.

Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha
Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha
Before breakfast you can enjoy the fantastic view over the Ngorongoro crater in good weather. After breakfast it goes on partly adventurous roads about 600 meters downward into the crater. Nearly all the biodiversity of the East African savannah has gathered here, only giraffes and a few other animal species for which the rock faces are too steep do not live in the crater.
Depending on the season, 15,000 to 25,000 animals are gathering here, thereof more than two thirds’ buffaloes, gnus, zebras and gazelles. This large number of grazers also explains why in the crater the largest density of predators in Africa can be found. Beside other predators more than 100 lions live here in several prides. The chances of watching the "Big Five" lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard within just a few hours are here particularly good.
In the late afternoon it goes up again the steep crater walls and then drive back to Arusha for your final overnight or we will drop you to the Airport.
