Day 3
Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park
Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, we will drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife for a half-day safari tour. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephant.
Another big drawcard to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopards, which sometimes require a trained eye to spot. We'll visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other waterbirds can usually be seen here. In the afternoon, you will start your drive to Serengeti and transit through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, entering the south of the park. Have an overnight stay at Sound of Silence.

Serengeti National Park to Mto wa Mbu
Go on a morning to early afternoon game drive in the Serengeti. Enjoy wildlife viewing within the Serengeti National Park as you gradually make your exit to return back to Mto wa Mbu in the late afternoon. Departing the park, you have several optional visits available at extra cost, either to the Olduvai Gorge or a Maasai village (or both). Continue onwards to your lodge tonight situated near the crater or on the crater rim itself.
The Olduvai Gorge delivers substantial evidence of the earliest signs of humankind, with rare hominid footprints preserved in solid rock from 3,600,000 years ago. There are many authentic Masaai villages in the area to visit. Here, you have a chance to get to know authentic Maasai families and see what real life is like for the locals. You can visit their homes, watch traditional dances, and purchase homemade jewelry. Later, have a relaxing retreat at the Escarpment Luxury Lodge and a wonderful overnight stay.

After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The park’s namesake is a shallow, salt lake.
