Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
An early morning start in the Serengeti to try and find cats before they retreat from the blazing sun during the day. After a few hours game drive travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area where you will spend the night. The Ngorongoro caldera is the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. At approximately 20 kilometres across and 600 metres deep, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breath-taking natural wonder. Ngorongoro Crater is unique in that almost all the wildlife lives within the crater walls; hence you have the opportunity to find game easily. You’ll want to wake early to make the most of your day exploring the crater, where rhino in particular can be seen regularly, as well as prides of lion and other predators like cheetah.
