    • After breakfast, depart for the Serengeti National Park. 
    • Pass the crater rim – there is a small prospect of spotting some game. The Serengeti is currently categorized as one of the seven natural wonders of Africa. 
    • Stop for an enticing picnic lunch on a kopje (rock outcropping). 
    • After lunch, your game drive will venture further into the Serengeti to complete the tour for the day. The Serengeti Camp will ensure that you are provided with comprehensive camping facilities.
  • Day 3: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater expand_more
    • Begin the day in the central Serengeti and spend the morning viewing game. This is one of the best times to witness the food chain in motion. Predators can be found prowling about the Serengeti in search of their next victim.
    • Observe the hyenas viscously fighting for the remains of the kill from the previous night and the fresh tracks will assist your guide with tracking down animals. The Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest game reserve. The vibrant wildlife includes the African hedgehog, leopards, hippos, buffalo, elephants, the greater bushbaby, wild dogs, lions, zebras, crocodiles, rhinos, antelopes, monkeys, chameleons and baboons. Many birds migrate from the regions of Asia and Europe. Aspects such as seasonal change and migration of the herds affect the wildlife you spot.

    • It is imperative that we have an early departure from the campsite as this is the best time spot game in the Ngorongoro Crater.
    • Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch inside the crater. Millions of years ago, the crater was a massive volcano, and specialists reckon that it would have been taller than Mount Kilimanjaro. The lofty composition of the crater encourages the animals to remain within the walls. This is advantageous for someone who aspires to spot each representative of ‘the big five. Other enticing species include zebra, hippo, wildebeest and hyenas. The blooming fauna and flora within the crater is simply remarkable and undoubtedly why the Ngorongoro Crater is ‘Africa’s Garden of Eden’. Storks, geese and flamingos are always close to Soda Lake.

Know before you go
  • The climb up Kilimanjaro should always be taken seriously because of the risk of altitude sickness in all its forms: Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) with its more serious variants of High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE) and High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE). Because there is less oxygen in the air at altitudes over 8000 feet, your body can’t take in as much oxygen as it needs, which can result in AMS. The symptoms of mild AMS can vary between individuals, with symptoms that include:
    • Headache
    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Dizziness
    • Tiredness
    • Loss of appetite
    • Shortness of breath
