Serengeti National Park via Ngorongoro conservation area
After an early breakfast, depart towards the most famous national park in the world, the Serengeti. The driving itself, although long, is spectacular.
This will be an unforgettable moment for anyone seeing it for the first time. As you progress well into the Serengeti, you will see why the name means, in the local language, "endless plains".
The park has 6,900 sq miles (18,000 sq km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances.
It is the home of the Great Wildebeest Migration and to 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. As for big cats and large predators, it's the place of choice to look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous River Crossings having been filmed in this park.

Serengeti National Park full game drive
On this special day, we will suggest a very early wake-up call to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and to see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness.
After the game drive, we'll return to the camp for a rewarding brunch, and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102 sq miles and has 2,000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa.
It's one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino if you're lucky. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains.
It's also famous for its elephants which, are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World. You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner.
