After breakfast, drive to Serengeti National Park via Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, passing through the picturesque highland farmland of Karatu. We will leave the highlands behind and descend into the Serengeti National Park.
It's the heart of untamed Africa, with its vast grasslands stretching as far as the eye can see. We then head to the Seronera section of the park, one of the park's finest animal areas. The Seronera River offers a vital water source to this area and hence attracts wildlife that is well representative of most of the Serengeti's species.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
This day begins early. With a picnic lunch, we'll descend 2,000 feet to the crater floor in our 4WD vehicle for wildlife watching. Here, we'll explore this "Garden of Eden".
The Ngorongoro Crater is a massive and deep volcanic crater in Tanzania. The floor of the crater has abundant grassland, marshes, woodland, and constant water, which is why the fauna is so diverse and prolific. After that, you'll drive to the lodge.
During your game drive on the crater floor, you will have an excellent chance to observe a wide variety of wildlife in a relatively small and concentrated area, making it one of the best safari destinations in Africa. You may encounter the rare black rhinoceros, large prides of lions, elephants, buffaloes, hyenas, hippos, and countless antelope species grazing peacefully across the plains. Flamingos can often be seen around the soda lakes, adding a beautiful splash of color to the landscape.
