Serengeti National Park

Today is dedicated to exploring the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most iconic wildlife destinations on the planet. After an early breakfast, you'll set out for a full day of game drives across the vast savannah plains, where the golden grasses stretch endlessly beneath the African sky.

The Serengeti is famous for its incredible density of wildlife, including the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino – as well as cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, hippos, and countless species of antelope and birds. Depending on the season, you may also witness part of the Great Migration, with thousands of wildebeest and zebras moving in search of fresh grazing.

You'll enjoy a picnic lunch in the heart of the bush or return to camp for a hot meal, depending on the day's route and game activity. In the late afternoon, return to your ampsite for dinner, relaxation, and a night under the stars.

Ngorongoro crater

You will depart the camp/lodge early in the morning and head to the Ngorongoro Crater for your final game drive. The crater is not only the largest unbroken caldera in the world but it is also one of the new 7 Natural Wonders of Africa. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephant. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopards, which sometimes require a trained eye to spot. After your morning 6 hours game drive, you will take a break to enjoy your packed lunch at the Hippo Pool picnic site. Afterwards, you will travel to Arusha city or be transferred back to the airport to catch your flight.
