Lobo supports a vast diversity of resident game, including leopards, lions, buffaloes, elephants, giraffes, and zebras, thanks to permanent springs and a landscape marked by open grass plains scattered with kopjes.

Home to the enormous migratory herds during the dry season, the Northern Serengeti remains an unexplored wilderness packed with stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife. The most captivating highlight of this area is undoubtedly the massive herds of migratory wildebeest and zebra during the dry season. However, North Serengeti also supports an abundance of resident wildlife, including lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, crocodiles, and the rare oribi antelopes.

After a relaxed morning, drive towards Central Serengeti and spend the day observing wildlife in the Seronera Valley.

You'll also see ungulates including buffaloes, giraffes, hippos, impalas, topis, warthogs, and zebras. Do you know how to distinguish a Grant gazelle from a Thomson gazelle? Both gazelles have a white rump. The rump of the Thomson gazelle, however, is bordered by a thin black horizontal stripe below the paler brown one. Furthermore, the tail of the Thomson gazelle is entirely black, while the Grant gazelle's white rump patch extends above the tail. Ask your guide about this and more as you continue to your accommodation.

The resident Maasai in Serengeti National Park were relocated to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where they still live today in harmony with wildlife and nature. Did you know that the Ngorongoro Conservation Area combines a large variety of topographical features and that there are nine different craters within its boundaries? Your guide will happily explain more about this outstanding destination of 8,292 sq km. Proceed to your accommodation on top of the crater rim and enjoy a splendid view of the caldera before night falls under a sky full of stars. Alternatively, you can continue driving to your accommodation in Karatu.

After breakfast, drive along the crater rim to Seneto Gate on the western side and descend into the crater floor on an adventurous path - what an impressive view! The Ngorongoro Crater provides a home for a vast number of animals because of its reliable water availability. Animals frequently move in and out. The number of wildebeests and zebras increases during the dry season, whereas the numbers of elands, elephants, and waterbucks increase during the wet season. Search for the 'Big Five' - buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and the black rhinoceros. The crater is one of only two places in Tanzania where you can still observe the highly threatened black rhinoceros. After intensive game viewing, continue to Lake Eyasi for your overnight stay.

In the southwest corner of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area lies beautiful Lake Eyasi, a soda lake fed by the Sibiti and Baray Rivers. Visiting Lake Eyasi offers a different type of safari experience from the Tanzania wilderness excursions you may already know. The region around Eyasi is home to the Hadzabe and Datoga communities, who continue their ancient lifestyles of hunting-gathering and pastoralism respectively. Visits to the villages give you a personal, intimate look into the daily lives of these people. You may be impromptu invited into their homes, learn about family structures, participate in traditional dances and bead making with the women, join the traditional small-game hunting and gathering of the Hadzabe tribesmen, make bows and arrows, and much more. Early in the evening, drive to Arusha for your overnight stay.
