Central Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highlands

On this day, we suggest a very early wake-up call, to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness.

After the game drive, you will return to the camp for a rewarding brunch. Then, you'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. 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.
