Keep your camera ready as you search for lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and a wide variety of colorful antelope species.

The scale and raw beauty of the ecosystem are unparalleled. You may witness a dramatic predator-prey interaction or simply absorb the sheer scale and beauty of one of the world's last great wild places.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highlands
After a final early morning game drive in the Serengeti (a fantastic time for witnessing peak predator activity and hunting behavior), you will begin your scenic return journey back toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The road offers remarkable wilderness vistas, and you will frequently spot diverse wildlife grazing along the open savannah pathways as you travel. Later in the day, you will ascend onto the dramatic forested rim of the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, where the mountain air noticeably becomes refreshingly cooler and pleasantly mistier. The remainder of the afternoon is completely yours to relax at your lodge, sip a warm beverage, and take in the stunning panoramic views of the highland scenery surrounding the crater. As evening approaches, enjoy a delicious warm dinner and unwind in comfort, reflecting on your incredible safari adventures before turning in for a restful night's sleep in this spectacular setting.

Day 6
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha
This is the grand finale of your safari. You will descend very early down the steep crater wall into the world's largest intact volcanic caldera. The 600-meter descent reveals a microcosm of African wildlife, often described as the "Eden of Africa." Due to its enclosed nature, animals are resident year-round, making it one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five (including the highly endangered black rhino) in a single day. You'll enjoy a spectacular morning of game viewing on the crater floor, with a picnic lunch next to the hippo lake. After an unforgettable experience, you will ascend the crater and begin your journey back to Arusha, where you will be dropped off either at a hotel or at Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight home.
