Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater
A morning game drive in Serengeti National Park is a magical experience, offering a glimpse into the awakening of the African wilderness. This early start is important for spotting predators during their most active hunting period. Lions, leopards, and cheetahs are often seen hunting or feeding on kills made during the night. You might witness a chase or see predators resting after a successful hunt. Morning is also an excellent time for bird watching, as many bird species are active.
Thereafter, you will drive across the Ngorongoro area and continue to a camp on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.

Day 7
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
After a nice breakfast, you will drive into the Ngorongoro Crater for a beautiful game drive. Game driving inside the Ngorongoro Crater is a unique and extraordinary safari experience. As a self-contained ecosystem, it supports a dense population of animals, giving you a greater chance of seeing a wide variety in a small area. Lions are abundant in the crater, and you're likely to see them hunting or resting. Hyenas, jackals, and other predators are also common. Large herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles graze on the crater floor, while hippos are often seen wallowing in the swamps. Because of the crater's walls, many animals do not migrate out, creating a dense population within. After the game drive, we will depart and leave the crater for a campsite in Mto wa Mbu.

If we're lucky, we may also spot the famous tree-climbing lions and perhaps some hippos. The park is also home to various species of antelopes, beautiful birds, and many other animals. After the game drive, we will drive either to the airport or back to Arusha town for dinner and your overnight stay (in which case you’d be transferred to the airport the next day).
