Day 3
Serenegti via ngorongoro
Serenegti via ngorongoro
Begin your day with a breathtaking sunrise game drive in the Serengeti, when the plains are alive with movement and the predators are most active. This is the best time to witness lions returning from a hunt or cheetahs scanning the horizon for prey. After a hearty bush breakfast or brunch at camp, enjoy a final drive through the Serengeti as you make your way southeast toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
En route, you may spot elephants, giraffes, or herds of wildebeest crossing your path. As you leave the endless plains behind, the landscape begins to shift — giving way to the lush, rolling highlands surrounding the crater rim. Arrive by late afternoon and settle in at Simba Campsite, perched high above the crater with sweeping views of the conservation area. Enjoy dinner under the stars and prepare for the next day’s descent into the crater.

After an early breakfast at the campsite, descend nearly 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most breathtaking wildlife sanctuaries on the planet. The crater, often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, hippos, hyenas, and—if you’re lucky—the rare black rhino.
Enjoy a half-day game drive across the crater floor, taking in the stunning scenery and tracking the Big Five against a backdrop of acacia forests, open grasslands, and a shimmering soda lake. You’ll pause for a picnic lunch at a scenic spot near the hippo pool, where you can relax and absorb the tranquil beauty of your surroundings.
