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 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, hyenas, with many television scenes like the famous river crossings having been filmed in this park.

Central Serengeti
Central Serengeti
As the sound of Africa arouses you from sleep, you will freshen up and go to the main area for breakfast. After breakfast, your driver guide will pick you up and drive to the park for a full-day game drive. If you love animals, then the Serengeti is a good place to be. Here, you will find the real Mufasa, Nala, Simba, and Scar, thanks to the Disney film “The Lion King”.
There are around 3,000 lions living in the Serengeti ecosystem. They are relatively easy to spot, not just because of their numbers, but also because they like to sleep under trees for hours each day. In fact, lions can lounge around for about 20 hours a day. The Serengeti also has bush elephants, Cape buffaloes, birds like kori bustards and Fischer’s lovebirds, and many others. Later in the evening, you will drive back to the lodge for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.

Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, you will drive up into the cooler regions of Ngorongoro Conservation Area. When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The Crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago and it covers an area of 260 km². The Crater is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve that is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African continent. After you descend into the Crater, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The Crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino.
Later afternoon you will be heading back to your accommodation in Arusha or straight to Airport.
