The park is particularly famous for its unique tree-climbing lions, along with many other iconic African species.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
Begin the morning with a hearty breakfast at camp before setting out on an early game drive in Serengeti National Park. Renowned for its vast open plains, the Serengeti offers exceptional visibility and some of the finest wildlife viewing in Africa.
As Tanzania’s oldest national park and one of the world’s most ancient ecosystems, the Serengeti has remained largely unchanged for millions of years. It supports an extraordinary abundance of wildlife and is most famous for the Great Migration, when immense herds of wildebeest—accompanied by zebras and antelope—move across the plains in search of fresh grazing. The timing and location of this natural spectacle vary each year depending on rainfall patterns.
Lunch will be enjoyed either as a picnic at a scenic site within the park or as a hot meal with a short rest at the camp before continuing your safari experience.

Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, depart for Ngorongoro Crater, often described as the Eighth Wonder of the World. From the panoramic viewpoint along the rim, you’ll enjoy your first breathtaking view of this vast, fertile caldera—an unforgettable introduction that quickly explains its global reputation.
Located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the crater supports an extraordinary density of wildlife, with more than 120 mammal species, including the legendary Big Five. Descending to the crater floor in an open-top safari vehicle, you’ll have exceptional opportunities to observe and photograph Africa’s iconic animals in a remarkably compact setting.
Predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas are frequently seen, alongside large populations of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, and Cape buffalo. This unique concentration of wildlife makes Ngorongoro one of Africa’s most outstanding safari destinations.
