Afterward, we proceed with the en-route game drive through the Ngorongoro highlands, arriving at Serengeti's Naabi Hill gate around 2-3 pm in time for lunch and the evening game drive. After lunch, we check in to the Serengeti National Park and begin our evening or sunset game drive. Serengeti is one of Africa's most well-known national parks, famous for its vast grassland landscapes and high concentration of wildlife, including the "Big Five animals" (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard). In the late evening, after watching the sunset, we proceed to your lodge nestled inside Serengeti for dinner and an overnight stay.

During specific times in the year, you will see the Great Migration, where millions of plains game cross between the Masai Mara and Serengeti areas.

Day 5
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Today, we recommend waking up early before sunrise and enjoying breakfast. Afterward, head out for a sunrise game drive with your packed meal. Early mornings are the perfect time to spot animals, as they are more active when the temperatures are relatively low. Led by an experienced guide you traverse the plains looking for more animals that call this place home, keep your eyes open as you might spot a predator sneaking up on its next victim. We will proceed with an en-route game until 2-3 pm when you will enjoy lunch amidst the wilderness. After lunch, we make our way towards the Ngorongoro Crater rim, where a restful overnight awaits. Along the way you will enjoy wildlife viewing, arriving at your accommodation in the late evening.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Today, we wake up early and enjoy breakfast. By 6:30 am, we start descending the crater to enjoy an early morning game drive and catch the sunrise. As we descend, you will see that Ngorongoro is a special place and that the drive to the crater floor is an adventure in itself! The crater is a world unto itself, one where you will encounter the crater’s 600-strong population of hyenas, as well as the critically endangered black rhinos. You will also find elephants with larger-than-average tusks and more than 50 lions living in the crater. But the sheer beauty of Ngorongoro will most likely live longest in your memory. We will stop for lunch during the game drive at the hippo pool picnic site. After the game drive, we will ascend the crater and drive back to Arusha for dinner and an overnight stay.
