Optionally, visit a Maasai village (20–45 minutes) to explore the traditions of this legendary tribe, known historically for lion hunting as a rite of passage and for ceremonial blood-drinking practices, offering meaningful cultural insights.

Arrive in the Serengeti’s Seronera region in the late afternoon and embark on a game drive through its wildlife-rich plains, renowned for predator sightings. Enjoy the golden hour, perhaps spotting a hunt, before concluding the day with a stunning Serengeti sunset and check-in at your camp.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After an early breakfast at 6:30 AM, you'll head out for a morning game drive, taking advantage of the cooler hours when wildlife is most active. Spend the morning exploring the Serengeti and spotting a wide variety of animals. In the early afternoon, return to camp for lunch and to pack your belongings.

Afterwards, you'll enjoy a final game drive as you exit the Serengeti, continuing your journey to Ang'ata Ngorongoro Camp located near the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. The drive takes approximately 3 hours, and you'll arrive in time to relax and prepare for the next day's crater adventure.

Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, you’ll descend into the Ngorongoro Crater at around 6:15 AM, beginning your game drive in search of the elusive black rhino one of the hardest animals to spot in the area. Thanks to the crater's enclosed floor and open terrain, most other wildlife, such as elephants, buffalo, lions, and hyenas, are easier to observe here than in other parks.

After enjoying a picnic lunch inside the crater, you'll continue with a final game drive before ascending back to the crater rim. From there, you'll return to camp, pack your belongings, and begin the journey back to Arusha town.
