The route takes you across the Masai steppe and past numerous villages before reaching the park gate. After registering at the gate, your first safari game drive in the African wilderness begins.

Expect to encounter lions, cheetahs, giraffes, wildebeests, buffaloes, hippos, warthogs, gazelles, dik-diks, the rare long-necked gerenuks, and more.

Day 3

Karatu- Ngorongoro Crater

Karatu- Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, depart with Lunch boxes for Ngorongoro Crater. You will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here.
Late afternoon drive to Marera Valley Lodge for dinner and overnight.
