Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will drive to Serengeti, which takes 6 hours (including all stops) and transits through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You will have a 20-minute stopover at the gate and the viewpoint of the Ngorongoro Crater to take in the crater's breathtaking view.

You will visit a Masai village. Visiting and exploring the culture of the great Masai community is optional. The Masai are known for chasing lions of their kill and hunting lions to be considered warriors, drinking raw animal blood. Though these traditions are a thing of the past except for drinking blood, you can surely learn something. This is an optional visit that is not included in the price.

Upon arrival in the late afternoon, embark on a thrilling game drive in Seronera, the heart of the Serengeti. This adventure will continue until sunset, allowing you to witness the breathtaking sunset in the Serengeti. Keep your eyes peeled, as you might be lucky enough to witness a predator in action.
