You may observe the hyenas viscously fighting for the remains of the kill from the previous night and the fresh tracks will assist your guide with tracking down animals. The Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest game reserve and the vibrant wildlife includes the African hedgehog, leopards, hippos, buffalo, elephants, the greater bush baby, wild dogs, lions, zebras, crocodiles, rhinos, antelopes, monkeys, chameleons and baboons. Many birds migrate from the regions of Asia and Europe. Aspects such as seasonal change and migration of the herds affect the wildlife you spot.

It is imperative that we have an early departure from the campsite as this is the best time spot game in the Ngorongoro Crater. We will enjoy a delicious picnic lunch inside the crater. Millions of years ago the crater was a massive volcano and specialists recon that it would have been taller than Mount Kilimanjaro. The lofty composition of the crater encourages the animals remain within the walls. This is advantageous for someone who aspires to spot each representative of ‘the big five. Other enticing species include zebra, hippo, wildebeest and hyenas. The blooming fauna and flora within the crater is simply remarkable and undoubtedly the reason the Ngorongoro Crater is ‘Africa’s Garden of Eden’.
